The preparations for exclusively green electricity for a climate-friendly production in Europe are already well advanced. Thereby, we completely forego coal-based electricity and obtain our electrical energy from only renewable sources. As part of the electric offensive, Mercedes-Benz Cars counts on local emission-free vehicles.

An analysis of near-term spending plans on renewables by the biggest oil and gas companies shows that real investments in renewable energy will continue to pale in comparison to capex plans for greenfield fossil fuel projects. Indeed, much of Big Oil's reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions leans on the so-called natural gas bridge.
