According to a study by the Federal Environment Agency, this would save 6.7 million tons of CO2 per year. A speed limit is therefore an important component "without additional costs". According to a study by the Federal Environment Agency (UBA), a speed limit of 120 kilometers per hour on motorways can save around 6.7 million tons of carbon dioxide every year. "A speed limit on...
In order to slow down global warming, greenhouse gases must also be removed from the atmosphere. Several technologies are in the starting blocks - but an initial assessment is mixed.from Thomas HummelIt wouldn't be the first time in history that a new chapter in technological advances has been written in a small American town - just think of companies like Microsoft or Google that got their start in suburban garages. This time it would be Decatur, 170 miles south of...

Status: 01/19/2023 02:34 am Limiting carbon emissions will not be enough to combat climate change. Instead, CO2 must also be "captured" from the atmosphere in the long term - especially with new technologies. "CO2 removals are a necessity, they will not fall out of the sky," says climate researcher Jan Minx. The expert is certain that a lot of carbon dioxide will have to be removed from the atmosphere in the future. Germany not only wants to be climate-neutral from...
Far too much CO2 enters the atmosphere. According to scientists, there is no way around getting parts of it back out. Researchers find enormous gaps in an inventory. Mankind is constantly blowing climate-damaging CO2 into the atmosphere - and thus heating up the planet. There is a broad consensus that emissions must be reduced to contain the climate crisis. But can the harmful greenhouse gas also be effectively removed from the atmosphere? A recent report confirms that the international community...
They account for almost half of the CO2 emitted by industry in France. The industrial basins of Dunkirk and Fos-sur-Mer, the two areas that emit the most greenhouse gases in France, will be helped by the State to initiate the reduction of their emissions, we learned in the entourage of the Minister of Industry who is going to Dunkirk on Monday.The industrial port area of Dunkirk, which alone accounts for 21% of industrial CO2 emissions, is set to become the...
Status: 01/12/2023 06:00 a.m As a measure against global warming, climate researcher Schellnhuber proposes limiting the amount of CO2 per capita and enabling private emissions trading. Minister Habeck rejects this. By Oda Lambrecht and Christian Baars, NDR In order to prevent the worst consequences of the climate crisis, many countries - including Germany - have committed themselves to stopping global warming at well below two degrees. In order to achieve this goal, only a limited amount of the greenhouse gas...
The gray cement plant juts out of the Norwegian snow, it is a single construction site. Yellow cranes are standing around, even a cement mixer is just approaching. "What is being created here," says Robert Habeck in the thick snow, "is the future of this cement plant."The Green Party's Economy Minister has come to Brevik to marvel at the future. The German building materials group Heidelberg Materials is converting an entire cement plant here, a good 150 kilometers south of...
Status: 05.01.2023 8:39 a.m When Economics Minister Habeck visits a cement plant in Norway, it's about more than the building material: it's also about separating, liquefying and storing CO2. A visit with a signal effect? By Martin Polansky, ARD Studio Stockholm, currently Oslo Norcem's cement plant in Brevik is seen by some as a pilot project for climate protection. The plant, around 150 kilometers southwest of Oslo, will soon make cement production, which is particularly harmful to the climate, cleaner....
Status: 03.01.2023 08:27 In 2022, Germany received a record sum of 13.2 billion euros from the sale of carbon pollution allowances. It flows entirely into the Climate and Transformation Fund (KTF). In 2022, the sale of carbon pollution allowances reached another record volume of around 13.2 billion euros. The funds come from European (6.8 billion euros) and national (6.4 billion euros) emissions trading. They flow entirely into the Climate and Transformation Fund (KTF). As early as 2021, the German Emissions...
