Die Unternehmen müssen angeben, ob sich die Kompensationen auf die Reduzierung oder den Abbau von Emissionen beziehen. Dazu müssen sie klarstellen, woraus sich die Behauptung errechnet. Ebenfalls

EU says ‘not banning carbon offsets’ in greenwashing crackdown

Was aber wäre, wenn Wasserstoff gar nicht produziert werden müsste, sondern einfach verfügbar wäre? Anzapfbar wie eine Mineralwasserquelle? In einem kleinen Dorf in Mali ist das tatsächlich der Fall. Es war ein Zufallsfund auf der Suche
