Can climate change be avoided? Vision of a hydrogen-electricity energy economy

Manfred Groll

Energy, 2023, vol. 264, issue C

Abstract: Global warming is a most important, extensively discussed problem of mankind, caused by greenhouse gases, which are a result of our fossil-fuel-based world energy economy, and among which CO2 is the decisive constituent (share of about 75%). The resulting climate change with dramatic consequences on the environment, e. g. more frequent and more severe natural catastrophes, is already felt. Climatologists predict disastrous events, including significant rise of the ocean level and shift of climate zones, if we cannot keep the average temperature rise of the atmosphere below 1.5 K (over the pre-industrial level) till the end of the century.
