Impact Analysis
Clima Now Deep Dives
For some topics, we want to know exactly how much of a burden they are on the climate. We then find solutions that are worth supporting. Here, we share these thematic deep dives with you.
Long-Duration Energy Storage
With the energy transition, energy storage is playing an increasingly important role in the decarbonization of the electricity sector. In this Deep Dive, we look at Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES). Learn how LDES addresses the challenges of renewable energy integration and enables sustainable power delivery over longer periods of time.
We will give you an overview of the different novel LDES categories, their possible applications and requirements for the technology to take off in the long term. This can be exciting for investors, but also for governments.
How Oceans Are Making Waves in Climate Mitigation
Our oceans cover more than 70% of the planet's surface and are bustling habitats for millions of species. Beyond hosting important marine ecosystems, the oceans also serve as central carbon storage containing 50 times more carbon than our atmosphere. Already now, the ocean's carbon pumps have absorbed over 90% of the anthropogenic excess heat and can become a real game-changer in future climate change mitigation.
In our most recent deep dive, we took a closer look at how both nature-based and technology-based solutions shape ocean carbon dioxide removal, identified the main challenges & opportunities as well as the overall impact potential. Spoiler alert: It is gigantic.
Redefining Coffee
How can we sip responsively? Coffee has a long journey behind it before it reaches our cup on the table. As far as CO2 emissions are concerned, we are on a par with meat: 17 kg of CO2 per 1 kg of coffee.
In our deep dive, we take a look at the biggest challenges in coffee cultivation and where solutions can be found. Be prepared for an alternative that has almost nothing to do with the coffee bean.
