Gesetzgebung gegen Greenwashing: EU will CO₂-Kompensation nicht verbieten

Für klimabezogene Aussagen – wie ‚CO2-neutral‘ oder ’netto null‘ – verlangt die neu vorgeschlagene „Green-Claims“-Richtlinie, dass Unternehmen zwischen ihren eigenen Bemühungen zur Emissionsreduzierung und Kompensationsmaßnahmen, wie Bäume pflanzen, unterscheiden. 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

For climate-related claims – such as ‘CO2 neutral’ or ‘net zero’ – the proposed Green Claims Directive requires companies to distinguish between their own emission reduction efforts and the use of carbon-offsetting schemes, such as planting trees. Companies are requested to specify whether offsets relate to emission reductions or removals and provide additional information, including the methodology

Natürlicher Wasserstoff unter der Erde: Energie aus dem Erdkern

Wasserstoff (H2) hat viele Fans, weil bei seiner Verbrennung kein CO2 entsteht. Ihn zu produzieren ist allerdings energetisch aufwendig und teuer. 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
