  • R&D driving the sustainable future of energy

    Eric Brandsma, E.ON
    E.ON AG

    The world of energy is currently facing its potentially greatest challenge since the invention of electricity. This is being fuelled by three fundamental development trends. Firstly, demand for energy is continuing to increase. The IEA estimates that there will be about a 50 percent increase in demand for primary energy worldwide by 2030. This will require massive investments in energy generation. Secondly, climate change and the real threats it involves demand unrelenting action in support of global climate protection. Thirdly, the fact that fossil resources are not unlimited means that energy has to be treated even more responsibly.  more[...]  login_required

At that time, we sought to align our internal environmental commitment and approach with key external international standards. Accepting our environmental responsibility continues to be a challenge and opportunity for us as we seek ways to adapt our business processes and culture to addressing the environmental challenges we face today.

  • “1+3”: Building a responsible value chain

    Lucy Li Jin Xiu, BASF
    BASF SE

    In China, there are over 32,000 chemical enterprises and many more if we consider the entire supply chain. Over 90% of the related companies are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which contribute strongly to the overall economic activities of the country but often find it hard to mobilise enough resources to effectively practise sustainable development. Thus, BASF in 2006 initiated a program called “1+3”, which mobilises and supports its partners and suppliers in China to improve their corporate social responsibility (CSR).  more[...]

  • Keep persevering and act local

    Peter Graf, AMPEG

    Bad news from the world of climate research arrives on our doorsteps nearly every day, and not one day goes by without our using a back door to redress our personal balance of thought on the world in which our children will live one day: Perhaps it is just a temporary glitch in the climate—something natural, that will right itself in the end. Even Hans Joachim Schellnhuber from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research consoles himself with the hope that the scientific community may have made a collective error on this issue. He expressed his thoughts on the percentage probability of his hopes becoming true in the following statement on 26th March 2009. "Well, the chance that the whole scientific world has actually made a mistake here probably lies below one percent."  more[...]  login_required

  • Renewable Energy in the Middle East and North Africa

    Dr. Franz Trieb, German Aerospace Center - DLR
    Prof. Hans Müller-Steinhagen, Technische Univeristät Dresden

    Until very recently, the countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region had not indicated any serious interests in the use of renewable energies, as these technologies were considered insufficient, irrelevant, and expensive. Countries with oil or gas became rich by exploiting their fossil fuel reserves, while the other countries claimed to be too poor to be able to afford wind or solar power. This picture changed in 2008 when the price of a barrel of oil climbed to $140.  more[...]
