Energy change 2.0: On the role of chemical research

Considering the reduction of greenhouse gas paramount target of “Energiewende” all sectors of the energy system are to be crosslinked. However, interlinkage will only be possible by converting primary electricity into material energy carriers. We are “storing” this electricity in order to make it available to other applications and so achieve the target of sector integration into sustainable energy supply. This article deals with the integration of mobility. For chemistry that means to develop sustainable alternatives to pure electrical driving.
