Paths to a Climate-Neutral Energy System – the “counter-large-infrastructure scenario”
One of the scenarios in our study assumes that there will be massive resistance to the expansion of new infrastructures in the energy sector. What needs to happen by 2050 to reduce our CO2 emissions from transport...
Paths to a Climate-Neutral Energy System – the “We-save-more” Scenario
This scenario assumes that enough of us become so aware of climate change and the need for a climate-neutral energy system that we are prepared live more economically. What needs to happen by 2050 to reduce our CO2...
“LiteFCBike”: Biking with a Fuel Cell
The LiteFCBike uses a fuel cell for the drive and thus differs from conventional e-bikes. Every bike can be retrofitted.
