This will obviously not work with battery vehicles or hydrogen vehicles alone. We consider the „missing link“ to be the Tri-Solar concept – a combination of electric drive, limited battery/slow charge, e-fuel/range extender and bodyintegrated solar. The question is not e-drive or combustion engine.

The question is:
How do we get the sun into the vehicles?

Heatpumps only, competing for renewable power with the other sectors will  create power shortages even in the most optimistic scenarios. The decarbonisation of our gas grid in combination with the most efficient conversion of green gas to heat and power via fuelcells has been widely underestimated so far.

The conversion of conventional steel mills from coke-oven/blast furnace to arc furnace and scrab recycling will happen. A new business area and supply-chain innovation will develop around the future raw-material for these steel mills. Countries with high grade iron ore and large renewable power potential like Ukraine can supply these steelmills at home and abroad with HBI (hot briquetted iron) or DRI (direct reduced iron). This will avoid 90 % of the carbon footprint of future steelmaking, supports the conversion of fossil to green steel and offers a huge value added compared to iron-ore export for Ukraine.

New material combinations, new wood treatments and processing technologies offer a variety of growth potential and new applications for this clean and sustainable building material. Our collaborating wood companies are unique in mastering the full value chain from sourcing, processing, desing, assembly, logistics and digital sales process. This capacity in combination with before  mentioned innovations will lead to new opportunities in changing markets.
