Transformation of the energy system: The key to climate protection in Europe

With the European Green Deal, the European Union has set itself the goal of achieving climate carbon neutrality by 2050 and using renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels. Establishing and expanding infrastructure on a huge scale for hydrogen, heat production, and transport is necessary for this transition to succeed. At the same time, requirements for an effective reduction of greenhouse gas emissions must be achieved within a single emissions trading system.
