For Stefan Hartung, number one of the German giant of innovation and services Bosch, reducing CO2 emissions is only the first step in tackling climate change. “The crisis we are experiencing – he specified in an interview with the Deutschen Presse-Agentur of Stuttgart – can no longer be resolved in this generation. We must not delude ourselves. If we believe that all problems can be solved by 2050 through the achievement of the emissions targets that have been set, then we are wrong. Even if Europe could go carbon neutral at that point, all the CO2 emitted in the last hundred years will still be in the atmosphere. At that point we will still be tasked with extracting new CO2 from the atmosphere”.
What Hartung indicates is a real “bet on the future. As the current generation, we are able to take the first steps. The next generation will take another step and the next generation will perhaps finally face the CO2 problem”. And he stressed that the whole transformation “must be approached with optimism”.
According to the CEO of Bosch, “the company will not be able to afford to do without potentially CO2 neutral technologies”. Bosch is the world’s largest automotive supplier and is working not only on battery-electric propulsion systems, but also on hydrogen fuel cells. “We haven’t yet invented some technologies that humanity probably urgently needs,” Hartung concluded. There have always been people who had brilliant ideas. And that’s what we’re going to build on over the next few years.”
