BSAG wants to achieve 50% climate-neutral operations by 2025. The electricity used is already coming from hydroelectric and wind power. Moreover, BSAG is compensating for fossil fuels and the resulting emissions by participating in climate protection projects.

Unfortunately, due to our grid situation, electric cars are still too early for this strategic goal in the sense of German climate protection efforts. The idea of providing the necessary storage of wind and solar energy with batteries is utopian, as the Leopoldina, Acatech and the Union of Academies of Sciences have emphasized.

To make an effective contribution to climate protection, the overall environmental balance of all vehicle components must be improved and partners brought into the process. Northvolt will obtain the energy needed to produce the battery cells exclusively from wind and hydroelectric power generated regionally in northern Sweden.

Currently unavoidable CO 2 emissions are offset by investments in certified climate protection projects elsewhere. Unavoidable emissions in the manufacturing process are offset by investments in certified climate projects. A savings potential of about 33% was identified for the first step alone by the end of 2019. Earlier post.)

It is essential that Germany and Europe remain industrial powerhouses: If we want to achieve this and still hit our ambitious climate protection targets, we need hydrogen to power sectors such as steel production, the chemicals industry or in freight, shipping and air transport.

Northvolt will obtain 100% of the energy needed to produce the battery cells regionally in northern Sweden and exclusively from wind and hydroelectric power. To make an effective contribution to climate protection, we aim to improve our products’ overall environmental balance—from resources to recycling.

Hydrogen and fuel cells are an ideal combination for climate protection as well as for the energy and transport revolution. The on-site production of hydrogen by electrolysis and by means of wind energy will be planned in a later phase of the project. They allow the storage of energy and emission-free travelling on rail.

Electromobility will only significantly contribute to environmental and climate protection 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.

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.

If the traffic becomes more congested (especially therefore in urban areas) or the road becomes more winding, the regenerative braking settings are available to the driver. Last but not least, without any fine tuning, wind and rolling sounds are much more noticeable in electric vehicles, as they are in luxury cars. D1, D2, D3.

The legislation would also provide new incentives for domestic oil and gas drilling, nuclear power plant construction, carbon capture and storage, and renewable energy sources like wind and solar. The right mix of TLC can produce job creation with energy security and climate protection at the most efficient cost, according to Deutsche Bank.
