Cement is omnipresent – but its production is one of the greatest climate drivers. However, what if solar energy were used for this energy-intensive process instead of fossil fuels?

Standards play a key role in the development, acceptance and market introduction of technology – especially when it comes to complex and forward-looking topics like hydrogen. An expert reveals the background.

Today’s world is unthinkable without electric motors. Whether in heaters, hair dryers or drills, or even in electric cars – electric motors can be found practically everywhere. Will that soon be the case increasingly often in aircraft and ships too?

Why can a comprehensive and successful energy transition effort be achieved only by integrating a molecule transition? What investments, what prerequisites would be necessary for that? An expert explains.

“tomorrow” asked an expert: Do technologies like the world’s largest carbon suction system or a huge carbon capture and storage plant truly work and how efficient are they for capturing carbon dioxide and getting the climate crisis under control?

Competition my foot! Agrivoltaics shows that the simultaneous use of land for farming purposes and solar power production is possible.

What makes the battle against microplastics so difficult? What’s the average age of the freighters navigating the world’s seas? What can private citizens use to produce drinking water? Delve into the oceanic world and test your knowledge.

Solar power systems do not produce energy at night, so it would be better to install them where the Sun “shines” for 24 hours. That would only be the case in space. Solar energy from Earth’s orbit – a feasible vision or science fiction?

Hydrogen has a high energy density per mass – plus high innovation potential for the decarbonization of many sectors. The development of a global hydrogen economy is in full swing – but far from having reached its objectives. A status report.

What is special about the “anti-solar cell?” What is the Great Green Wall in Africa? Sustainability is one of the most important megatrends of our time - test your knowledge.

Wouldn’t it be great if the summer heat could be recovered for heating in winter? Scientists worldwide are researching this. “tomorrow” presents new types of storage: Sand, acid and, more recently, soapstone.

Many companies have set themselves ambitious sustainability goals. But that won’t be enough if the partners in their supply chains don’t follow suit.

Solar cells producing green electricity in total darkness? Sounds like a paradox but may become a reality someday. Scientists are working flat out on the anti-solar cell.

An e-car can only become truly carbon-neutral if it’s produced sustainably and operates with clean electricity.

With renewable raw materials and new ideas, the construction industry is planning to level out its deep carbon footprint.

Some countries produce more sustainable energy than they need. New technologies help distribute surplus power efficiently.

Whether hybrid or fully electric, whether 48 or 800 volts, Schaeffler’s modular powertrain portfolio has the right solution for any e-car

Friction-optimized headwind vehicles drive into the wind faster than the wind blows against them.

Only when the human, nature and technology triad is in perfect harmony will sailors stand a chance of finishing the Vendée Globe. Mental agility is a key skill in the world’s toughest non-stop regatta

Over the course of millennia, the wind has been working for humans. In the future, the wind will become a powerful ally in the battle against climate change – thanks to technological innovation.

Sun, wind and water can supply sufficient energy to cover the worldwide demand. An efficient global power grid is an important key of innovation to achieving this goal.

Use as a storage medium, as propulsion energy and as a carbon substitute in industrial applications: There are quite a few expectations pinned on hydrogen. Schaeffler’s hydrogen expert Dr. Stefan Goss

A large high-voltage battery like the one in the Audi e-tron stores up to 95 kWh of energy. Theoretically, this is enough for operating various appliances around the clock

Electric powertrains don’t have to involve range issues: The fuel cell is a case in point. How does this technology work and why has it recently become a hot topic?

Before wind turbines are able to generate electricity at dizzying heights they have to complete an arduous journey. The transportation of wind power systems is packed with challenges.

London, Paris, Madrid – what sounds like the stops on a tour of a TV commercial for hairspray in the late 1980s may also at times be hairy routine for Christian Schuster.

In the 17th century, the Netherlands had the biggest merchant fleet in the world. The rise of the small nation was accelerated by the efficient utilization of a renewable source of energy: wind.
