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

Volker Quaschning is a professor of renewable energy at the Berlin University of Applied Sciences. Through his teaching and research, he sets standards for the future of energy supply, and his books are considered foundational works. 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 an engaging, easy-to-follow, and inspiring lecture, he answers the most important questions about the future of energy supply and explains scientifically 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 based on renewables look like? What role do heat pumps, green hydrogen, e-fuels, storage systems, and gas power plants play?
