Electricity production in Germany, 2018. 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 researchers carried out their calculations based on a Mercedes-Benz C 220 d diesel and the new Tesla Model 3. —Buchal et al.

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. I am pleased that Alstom will build the trains in Lower Saxony, thus further strengthening their production site in Salzgitter. They allow the storage of energy and emission-free travelling on rail.

BASF says it will invest a “three-digit million euro” sum over the next five years in the research, development and production of advanced traction battery materials. 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.

Volkswagen marked its serious entry into the battery-electric vehicle market with the introduction in Frankfurt of its first two series production EVs: the e-up! 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.

Markey of Massachusetts, both Democrats, built their climate change bill last year in large measure around it. 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.
