 CO2 Chemistry

In our view, we should rethink the current debate, because it simply doesn't hold up when we look to the future. To hold the cost of so-called negative energy against us right now is actually reprehensible.
What are your thoughts on costs that are inevitable in the long run? After all, costs are associated with negative feelings. Is it better to put off something unpleasant, or to just get it done? We suspect
that you would probably prefer the latter option.
However, as we go through this chapter, we will have to provide you with irrefutable proof that it is absolutely necessary. Yes, that's it. After all, we can’t yet predict all the ways in which we’ll need the hydrogen
that could be produced when there’s a surplus of electricity.
Almost all measures aimed at halting an oversupply of electricity are irresponsible. Instead, every effort should be made to canalise this energy in some way so that it can be stored.
What we aim to demonstrate in this chapter is that we need electricity not only to reach 100 percent in the electricity market, but also to achieve a similarly high level in the
primary energy market. Even more than, together with other renewable energies, reaching 100 percent as well.
As I said, we need to look far into the future and put an end to this nonsense about using hydrogen for transportation as soon as possible. Even when it comes to airplanes, we would have to distinguish
between small and large aircraft, as well as short- and long-haul flights, in order to find applications for electric power here as well.
Perhaps we should leave the energy derived from food waste to the shipping industry - preferably in liquid form. And then we actually heat with electricity, even though we could burn hydrogen in converted gas heating
systems, which, by the way, isn't entirely free of nitrogen oxide emissions.
Now you might ask, what on earth could be a better use for all that hydrogen than the energy transition? The clear answer: To be able to leave the remaining oil and natural gas, for example,
in the ground: the issue is independence.
After all, something that is often overlooked is that petroleum is not used solely for energy production. While this is documented in the first two videos on this page, the third video also shows
many everyday items that were made possible by petroleum.
The production of medicines should also
be mentioned here. |
The fourth video then focuses on oil recovery and, in doing so, also addresses, at least in part, another problem: the littering of our environment with plastic. It's amazing that this is already possible on a somewhat larger
scale.
However, we are also considering another option: capturing CO2 from the atmosphere. I've killed two birds with one stone again. However, that is not yet possible at this time, because it is very energy-
intensive relative to the amount that can be generated.
The chemical industry is already working on catalysts that would enable similar reactions to occur at lower temperatures. As you can see, you can never have enough energy, just think about desalination and the
transport of seawater to particularly arid regions.
| We could take on all the worthwhile projects that aren't currently feasible due to high
energy consumption. |
