🏭 Introducing #climate_friendly raw materials on the market⁉ While everyone's mind today is on the #EU Critical Raw Materials Act (#CRM) that will pave the way towards a stable supply chain of materials that are critical for #renewable and #low_carbon technologies... ...other #energy_intensive raw materials such as #steel and #cement continue to be responsible for a large proportion of greenhouse gas #emissions, especially in the #industry sector. That's why 2 TRANSIENCE consortium members ➡ Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI and ➡ Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy developed a groundbreaking concept: ☄ "Lead markets for climate-friendly raw materials" ☄ The concept aims to make #low_emission materials more #visible and #attractive in order to increase #demand and encourage #investment in #green technologies. 📑This concept developed within the EU-CIP Project. #transience #industry4netzero More info in German 👇

Denuo 100% supports BDE Bundesverband der Deutschen Entsorgungs-, Wasser- und Kreislaufwirtschaft e. V. and the German Environment Ministers in taking urgent measures such as banning certain harmful products from the market (e-vapes, musical birthday cards, etc.) or introducing a deposit system to tackle this issue of fires caused by lithium-ion batteries. Just yesterday in Brussels, one of our metal members was struck by a fire caused by a lithium-ion battery. It's time for real action! #fires #battery #lithium #recycling

I attended a compelling keynote speech by Peter Drucker Society Europe on the topic "𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧 - 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤?" 💬 The starting point of our discussion was that the #EnergyTransition poses new challenges for location policy. What needs to be done? What needs to be considered? Here is a brief overview of the topics I addressed: 👉🏼Development of CO2 Emissions in Energy Production and Consumption: We examined how CO2 emissions have evolved and what this means for future energy strategies. 👉🏼#LandingPorts - Energy-Intensive Industries: We discussed the role of landing ports in supporting energy-intensive industries and how they can adapt to new energy standards. 👉🏼#Grid Access for Electrical Energy: Ensuring reliable and equitable access to the electrical grid is crucial for the energy transition. 👉🏼Grid Access for #Hydrogen: As hydrogen becomes a key player in sustainable energy, we explored the infrastructure and policies needed to support its integration. 👉🏼Future Perspectives: We looked at the long-term outlook of the energy transition and the strategic adjustments businesses must make to thrive in this new era. These topics are not just theoretical; they are actionable insights that can guide companies through the complexities of the energy transition. Big thanks to Winfried W. Weber, Klaus Weßing and Hermann Doppler! ▶️You can watch the entire talk on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/dHDpkiHY

Why Green Roofs ✅ are a Wise Investment Here are 10 compelling (!) reasons... „As the Managing Director of DIADEM®, I wholeheartedly support sustainable solutions that make our cities more livable and our buildings more efficient. Green Roofs are a key aspect here. Here are my top arguments:   ✅ Temperature Regulation: Green roofs contribute to cooling the building in summer and providing insulation in winter, significantly reducing energy costs. ✅ Extension of Roof Lifespan: By protecting against UV radiation and extreme temperatures, a green roof can double or even triple the lifespan of a conventional roof. ✅ Water Management: Green roofs can absorb up to 75% of rainwater, thereby reducing the burden on urban wastewater systems. ✅ Improved Air Quality: Plants on green roofs filter pollutants and particulate matter from the air, leading to a healthier urban environment. ✅ Promoting Biodiversity: Green roofs provide habitat for numerous insects and birds, promoting urban biodiversity. ✅ Noise Reduction: The soil and plant layers on green roofs act as effective sound absorbers, reducing outdoor noise by up to 40 dB. ✅ Aesthetic Enhancement: A green roof not only improves the aesthetic appeal of a building but also increases its property value. ✅ CSR and Image Enhancement: Companies investing in green roofs strengthen their commitment to sustainability and enhance their public image. ✅ Promotion and Financial Incentives: Many cities offer grants and financial incentives for the installation of green roofs, reducing initial investments. ✅ Contribution to Urban Microclimate: Green roofs can help reduce the urban heat island effect by lowering ambient temperatures.” At DIADEM® greenroofs, we advocate for sustainable construction practices that are both environmentally and economically viable. Green roofs are a fantastic way to realize this vision. Let's green up the Roofs of the World together! 😃 #Sustainability #Greenroof #Environmentalprotection #DIADEM

"For example, possible operator and business models for the German hashtag #EUDI hashtag #Wallte were discussed. When asked who should operate such a wallet, EVERYONE agreed! Really every one of the 60 or so people present spoke out in favour of a combination of state and private sector hashtag #Betreibern within the framework of an open ecosystem. No one has advocated a purely state or private operation of the wallet. A clear sign! " Like in Finland from the outset.. The wallets are already here - so know especially the public sector (also municipalities) should start pushing out the 100ds of identity building credentials they have - especially to SMEs. Then enterprises will start using them both in and out amongst themselves, with employees and citizens. To take the organisation wallet in use took some 10 working days in the Findynet pilot by the Finnish Social security (Kela) and Helsinki public transport (HSL)... To integrate to own data stores was described as a routine matter.. And SMEs do not have to integrate much at all - if at all. Why not use the same wallet as at home -at least to begin with?

Thank you Forbes DA and Forbes for this interview. There’s a whole new paradigm to build in our world: the values that drive regeneration and inclusivity are not yet embedded in the structures that shape our economy and society today. That has to change! We are on it, and more people are joining this impact & climate movement each day. It’s a way of living aligned with life, rather than against it. Will you join us in making this the new normal? 🚀🌎 Top Tier Impact #EarthDay #climateinesting #nature

Companies marketing fuels in Germany are subject to the obligation to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of these fuels. Since 2020, it is possible to offset emissions by surrendering UER certificates. The UER certificates are certified upstream emission reductions achieved in climate protection projects in the upstream oil and gas production sector. There are currently 74 projects with German approval, 65 of which are in China. The problem? Several of these projects in China never existed, or existing installations have been certified as new. According to the German ministry for the environment, there are indications that we were dealing with a fraud system. In particular, suspicions against two employees of two validation companies on site, who were involved in a total of 40 critical projects, were confirmed. The previous German government implemented the whole UER system. As the whole system has proven to be error-prone and instransparent, the current federal government has stopped the scheme. Companies that had relied on the fake certificates may suffer billions in damages. My POV: I prefer "real" emission reduction over carbon credits and certificates. https://lnkd.in/eV8Z5S_e

One of my many passions is staying abreast on state-of-the-art thinking for organizational development. Often times, the best examples are not simply "on trend" but rather are embedded with what has proven to last / make an impact while adds a fresh element adapted to today's challenges. David Fiorucci's approach under the name of Octocracy is one such example. Where do you seek inspiration or sources for solid but fresh approaches to organizational development or leadership?
