Volker Quaschning: How We Must Drive the Energy Transition to Stop the Climate Crisis

Volker Quaschning is a professor of renewable energy at Berlin University of Applied Sciences (HTW Berlin). Through his teaching and research, he sets standards for the future of energy supply. His books are considered foundational works in the field.

His YouTube videos and podcasts reach millions of people because he makes science understandable for everyone. He points the way toward a sustainable future while also highlighting the problems linked to the climate crisis and the dependencies that threaten prosperity and democracy.

In his engaging, easy-to-follow, and inspiring lecture, he answers the most important questions about the future of energy supply. With scientific rigor, he explains what makes sense for all of us, when, and why - and what does not: How should we heat our homes in the future? How should we get around? What does secure energy supply from renewable sources look like? What role do heat pumps, green hydrogen, synthetic fuels, energy storage, and gas power plants play?
