These are the key technologies for the energy transition

Dusseldorf The world is facing perhaps the largest investment in human history – believes Stefan Gross-Selbeck, CEO of BCG Digital Ventures. According to the German Energy Agency (Dena), Germany alone will need more than 200 billion euros by 2030 to cope with climate protection and the energy transition. And when it comes to global climate investments, the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) estimates an additional $ 90 billion to $ 210 billion a year is needed.

Gross-Selbeck says: “Waiver alone will not be enough to reduce enough emissions. The real leverage comes from new technologies. And there is a willingness to invest in it. “

Only: which technologies do the experts mean? Money has to flow into several areas, such as industry, buildings and transport.

However, the energy is particularly important. According to the international energy agency IEA, “the vast majority” of global CO2 emissions come from the energy sector. And Groß-Selbeck also says: “Energy is clearly the overriding topic.”
