Neste’s SAF is made from sustainably sourced, renewable waste and residue raw materials.
Currently unavoidable CO 2 emissions are offset by investments in certified climateprotection projects elsewhere. The plant in Zwickau is already using externally produced power from renewable sources. Unavoidable emissions in the manufacturing process are offset by investments in certified climate projects.
Address market-mediated impacts (indirect GHG emissions versus those in the direct supply chain) through a Land Protection Fund (LPF) for purchasing international forest carbon offsets commensurate with induced fuels-related GHG emissions not otherwise accounted for. “ The “renewability shortcut ”. DeCicco (2009). DeCicco (2009).
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO or renewable diesel), which is already commercially available today, reduces CO 2 emissions by up to 90%. HVO allows our customers to significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions with existing vehicles and engines and to make an important contribution to climateprotection today.
We clearly need biomass as a source of renewable energy. We cannot do without the contribution to climateprotection made by sustainable and ecologically produced biomass. The future International Standard is expected to be a key tool in helping governments meet their alternative fuel targets.
The proposal was drafted as two measures, the ClimateProtection Act —which sets the carbon price and finance programs for sustainable technologies—and the Sustainable Energy Act —which ends federal support for fossil fuel companies and research and extends tax incentives for renewables.
In Namibia, we are currently setting up an industrial-scale production with the support of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and ClimateProtection (BMWK). The Lower Saxony Ministry for the Environment, Energy and ClimateProtection is funding the construction of the pilot electrolysis plant with €8 million.
These technologies include, but are not limited to, advanced aftertreatment and waste heat recovery; lean-burn plus lean-NO x emissions traps; integration of zero-emission miles technologies; further refinements in reducing friction and parasitic energy losses; and widespread utilization of renewable and natural gas and hydrogen blends.
We must use all technologies to achieve our climateprotection goals. The system must be operated 100% with electricity from renewable energy sources.

More specifically, he suggests that other than supporting fundamental R&D, programs to promote alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) “ are not currently warranted for climateprotection. A final implication is that, beyond fundamental R&D in hope of breakthroughs, policies to promote AFVs are not currently warranted for climateprotection.
Electromobility will only significantly contribute to environmental and climateprotection when the electricity from the batteries has been generated high efficiently and with less CO 2. Therefore we are investing in research to find ways of generating electricity from renewable energy technologies such as wind and solar energy.
The California Energy Commission’s (CEC) Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program (ARFVTP) approved four regional planning grants to prepare for electric vehicles.
For this reason, innogy is working constantly to drive forward the expansion of clean, climate-friendly mobility. For there too, electric mobility and climateprotection are a mega-topic for many states and big cities—and we have the innovative solutions for tomorrow’s traffic. —Peter Terium, CEO of innogy SE.
As this proportion grows, however, the basic dilemma associated with these renewable energy sources remains: first, electricity cannot always be supplied when it is required and second, on sunny days and in high-wind conditions, there is often a lack of capacity for storing the energy generated.
Although fully establishing this ideal will not be possible initially, climateprotection is best served by putting its elements in place from the inception of a policy regime rather than using approaches such as LCA that are poorly grounded in the principles of sound environmental management. —John DeCicco.
CO 2 + water + renewable energy → e-diesel. Böhni emphasized that the production of climate-neutral fuel is key to climateprotection and therefore needs to be given a fair chance; he established the Clean Fuel Now initiative at the Federal Parliament in Bern in late 2014. Earlier post.). Click to enlarge.

Mayors’ ClimateProtection Agreement. Tags: Solar Homes Tour green education environmental legislation Voters renewable energy fossil fuels water conservation environment Manhattan Beach Virginia Hilker Ed Hummell Yes We Can! They coined that name. And we decided that we would try to get our cities to do that.
Hydrogen is a versatile energy source that has a key role to play in the energy transition process and therefore in climateprotection. After all, it is one of the most efficient ways of storing and transporting renewable energies. We should use this potential to also accelerate the transformation of the mobility sector.
At Daimler Trucks & Buses we are clearly committed to the goals of the Paris ClimateProtection Agreement and thus to the decarbonization of our industry. As it takes about ten years to completely renew a fleet until 2050, our ambition is to offer ‘tank-to-wheel’ locally CO 2 -neutral new vehicles in the triad by the year 2039.
increase in the required electricity generation in Germany overall, which would have to be generated completely from renewable sources to still meet the reduction targets for energy generation. This additional (renewable) electricity demand increase would amount to around 7.6% of the overall German electricity generation by 2050.
It has been externally provided with renewable energy generated by hydroelectric power stations since 2017. However, should CO 2 emissions be unavoidable along the supply chain, these will be compensated by investments in climateprotection projects. The Saxon Volkswagen plant is the pilot factory for the ID.3.
Hydrogen has the potential to increase the proportion of renewable energies used, particularly in the transport and heating sectors. Hydrogen generated using renewable energies can thus significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the transport and heating sectors.
