🚗⚡🔥 Internal combustion engines vs. fuel cells – what will the future of mobility really look like? The debate over the future of mobility is often reduced to a simple “electric cars vs. internal combustion engines.” But the reality could be much more complex. In a Zoomposium with Prof. Christopher Hebling from Fraunhofer ISE, it becomes clear: 👉 Hydrogen technologies and fuel cells could play a decisive role in the energy and transportation transition. What’s interesting here: Decades ago, BMW demonstrated that hydrogen can even be used in conventional internal combustion engines. At the same time, the fuel cell is considered a highly complex electrochemical system with enormous future potential. So perhaps the real question is not: “Which technology will win?” But rather: 👉 How can we simultaneously combine energy security, economic efficiency, and climate protection? The focus here is on: 🔹 Green hydrogen 🔹 Fuel cell technologies 🔹 E-fuels and Power-to-X 🔹 Solar energy and global energy projects 🔹 Resource issues surrounding batteries and lithium 🔹 The energy trilemma of environmental sustainability, energy security, and economic viability The mobility of the future will likely not be monolithic, but will consist of different technologies—tailored to applications, infrastructure, and global resources. One thing is certain: The transformation of our energy system is not only a technical challenge, but also a social, economic, and geopolitical issue. 📺 Interview: https://youtu.be/E62Kij5i_Ck 📎Information: https://philosophies.de/index.php/2024/12/17/wasserstoff-als-loesung/
