EFuels make an important contribution to climateprotection and complement our electromobility in a meaningful way. AME remains the majority shareholder of HIF Global LLC.
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.
ISO/PC 248 will bring together international expertise and state-of-the-art best practice to discuss the social, economic and environmental aspects of the production, supply chain, and use of bioenergy, and identify criteria that could prevent it from being environmentally destructive or socially aggressive.
With its electrification strategy, the car and truck manufacturer has set itself on the path to becoming a future climate-neutral mobility provider. The battery-electric vehicle is the most efficient way to combine climateprotection and individual mobility. That’s why we welcome the establishment of clear rules.
Instead, DeCicco proposes a method using annual basis carbon (ABC) accounting to track the stocks and flows of carbon and other relevant greenhouse gases (GHGs) throughout fuel supply chains. Such a protocol would enable producers to obtain a verifiable credit for net carbon uptake in biofuel or fuel feedstock products.
Following in the next stages with the use of new production technologies, it will enable us to be producing climate-neutral steel in Bremen by the mid-30s. The HyBit project shows the great benefits that hydrogen has with regard to climateprotection, also or especially in industrial applications.
We must use all technologies to achieve our climateprotection goals. We supported the use of hydrogen in transport to make mobility and logistics climate-friendly. It is about strengthening the entire hydrogen ecosystem, increasing supply and demand and positioning the transport sector as a reliable and purchasing customer.
