Mehrwert durch Parkplatz-PV: Photovoltaik-Überdachungen auf Parkplätzen sind in Teilen Deutschlands seit 2022 verpflichtend. Über versiegelten Flächen von Parkplätzen kann umweltfreundliche Sonnenenergie erzeugt werden. Eine flächendeckende Installation von PV-Anlagen auf Parkplätzen in Deutschland würde einem Potential von 59 GWp Leistung entsprechen. Allein mit Parkplatz-PV könnte also der Strombedarf von über 17,2 Mio. Haushalten gedeckt werden. Welche Vorteile bietet Parkplatz-PV konkret? Welche

The energy transition in Brazil has been playing a significant role again at least since the change of government a few months ago. For green hydrogen, the region in Brazil is very interesting as a raw material supplier for Europe. However, there are also exciting local applications - Brazil is the world's largest importer of fertilizers and its most important supplier is Russia. Green hydrogen could be used as a feedstock for local fertilizer production, reducing dependence on imports. Energy
