“We Must Ensure Resources for Everyone!”

Prof. Radermacher is far from satisfied with current climate policies, as he explains in his interview with ISOCELLER. “What we are witnessing is a ‘panic concert,’ where inadequate methods are being used to solve a problem that is 50 years old,” he emphasizes. According to him, the reason is that climate issues – like the situation in Ukraine or the pandemic – are often politicized to win votes, but no real solutions follow.

Germany and Austria are too small to make a significant impact at a national level. Yet funding for climate protection is expected to remain within the country, which leads to measures that are very costly but ultimately ineffective. Added to this, population growth in Asia and Africa is substantial, and “all these people want to live, and they need electricity, food, and water.”

Once again, Prof. Radermacher calls on decision-makers to pursue international solutions, such as Carbon Capture for storing and using CO₂, and e-fuels, i.e., synthetic fuels produced from water and carbon dioxide. The magazine ISOCELLER explains in detail what these terms involve.
