Driving or scooting towards shared mobility: what’s in it for urban dwellers?
On 30.11.2021 by Konstantin Krauss“I am dependent on my car!” is a statement widely heard in discussions about passenger transport in Germany. But: are you? Or are there some new options out there that could help you get around? Let us find out what these new options are, what they can do for your mobility, and what they can do to reduce our carbon footprint.

Wasserstoff wäre ein Rückschritt
On 25.11.2021 by Anthony PattUm die Erderwärmung einzudämmen muss die Welt bis Mitte Jahrhundert aus der fossilen Energie aussteigen. Wir bewegen uns nun in die richtige Richtung. Nahezu alle neuen Investitionen im Energiesektor fliessen in erneuerbare Energiequellen. Batteriebetriebene Elektrofahrzeuge (BEV) werden immer beliebter. Und die meisten neuen Gebäude heizen nicht fossil. Klar gibt es Hürden. Das alles muss schneller gehen, und es braucht eine konsequentere Klimapolitik. Was den Wandel aus meiner Sicht jedoch am stärksten gefährdet, kommt heute als Teil der Lösung «getarnt» daher: Wasserstoff.

Hydrogen won’t help the energy transition
On 25.11.2021 by Anthony PattTo save the climate, the world needs to stop using fossil fuels by mid-century. We are finally headed in the right direction. Nearly all new power-sector investment is going into renewable energy sources. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are becoming popular. Most new buildings are being built with non-fossil heating systems. The pace of change needs to accelerate, and stronger climate policies are required. Yet one of the most serious threats to all of this is currently masquerading as clean energy’s friend: hydrogen.
