Klimastein ProKlima Zero von KANN

Die Familie der Klimalieblinge von KANN wächst um ein bedeutendes Mitglied. Der neuartige Pflasterstein ProKlima Zero reduziert 100% CO2 gegenüber einem herkömmlich hergestellten Betonpflaster. Dies gelingt durch den Einsatz eines innovativen CO2-speichernden Rohstoffs Damit lassen sich Pflasterflächen, bezogen auf das verwendete Steinmaterial, mit äußerst geringem CO2-Fußabdruck anlegen. Die Kompensation des CO2 findet beim ProKlima Zero nicht extern

Wie eine Kohlenstoff-Zentralbank Europa zum CO2-Staubsauger machen kann

Für 2050 hat die EU Klimaneutralität beschlossen – man halt somit im Prinzip für jede noch emittierte Tonne CO2 eine Tonne aus der Atmosphäre zurück. Eine Schlüsselrolle auf dem Weg dorthin könnte eine Europäische Kohlenstoff-Zentralbank spielen – und mit marktwirtschaftlichen Anreizen die Weichen stellen, dass die Emissionsbilanz in der zweiten Hälfte des Jahrhunderts netto-negativ, Europa sozusagen
