Alkaline electrolysis is the most established process for water electrolysis and is characterized above all by the high purity of the product gases.   <\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\" itemprop=\"name\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-uurj189-1\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-uurj189-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                    <i class=\"accordion-icon\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-double-down\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-down\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-down\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <i class=\"accordion-active-icon tf_hide\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-double-up\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-up\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-up\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <span class=\"accordion-title-wrap\">Ammonia<\/span>                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-uurj189-1\" data-id=\"acc-uurj189-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_ytlh190\" itemprop=\"text\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_4rby190 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_jekh190   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p>Under normal conditions, ammonia is a pungent-smelling, colorless, water-soluble, and toxic gas that serves as a raw material for a wide variety of products, such as fertilizers and medications. Ammonia is produced from nitrogen and hydrogen using the Haber-Bosch process. Currently, the hydrogen used is typically produced from natural gas via steam reforming, a process that releases CO2 emissions. Due to the high demand for ammonia, the Haber-Bosch process accounts for about two percent of global fossil fuel consumption. The hydrogen required can gradually be replaced by renewable hydrogen produced via electrolysis, in order to operate this process sustainably and without impacting the climate. Due to the abundant availability of nitrogen (air) and its higher energy density compared to hydrogen, ammonia is also being considered as an energy carrier and (due to the existing infrastructure) as a transport medium for hydrogen.     <\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\" itemprop=\"name\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-uurj189-2\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-uurj189-2\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                    <i class=\"accordion-icon\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-double-down\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-down\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-down\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <i class=\"accordion-active-icon tf_hide\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-double-up\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-up\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-up\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <span class=\"accordion-title-wrap\">Anthropogenic Climate Change<\/span>                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-uurj189-2\" data-id=\"acc-uurj189-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_a855190\" itemprop=\"text\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_0qtq190 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_kix1190   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p>Without the natural greenhouse effect, life on Earth would not be possible\u2014however, human activity has permanently disrupted this system, leading to what is known as anthropogenic global warming.

For further processing, the sponge iron is melted together with steel scrap in an electric arc furnace.   <\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\" itemprop=\"name\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-uurj189-22\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-uurj189-22\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                    <i class=\"accordion-icon\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-double-down\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-down\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-down\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <i class=\"accordion-active-icon tf_hide\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-double-up\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-up\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-up\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <span class=\"accordion-title-wrap\">Dark Calm<\/span>                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-uurj189-22\" data-id=\"acc-uurj189-22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_0vjy190\" itemprop=\"text\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_ksdw190 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_4f9c190   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p>Describes the simultaneous occurrence of darkness and calm conditions.

Due to the solid electrolyte, PEM electrolysis is better suited for high-pressure electrolysis than alkaline electrolysis.   <\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\" itemprop=\"name\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-uurj189-39\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-uurj189-39\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                    <i class=\"accordion-icon\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-double-down\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-down\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-down\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <i class=\"accordion-active-icon tf_hide\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-double-up\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-up\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-up\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <span class=\"accordion-title-wrap\">High-Temperature Electrolysis<\/span>                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-uurj189-39\" data-id=\"acc-uurj189-39\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_g6nq190\" itemprop=\"text\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_kxf4190 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_e63q190   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p>High-temperature electrolysis is a method of water electrolysis characterized by a high process temperature of up to 900 \u00b0C (as opposed to the usual < 80 \u00b0C). Consequently, the water is supplied in the form of steam. The high temperature improves the reaction kinetics of the electrolysis, thereby reducing the power requirement. High-temperature electrolyzers are typically implemented using solid oxide electrolytes (SOEC = Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell), which are permeable to O2\u2014 or H+ ions. The high operating temperature can be provided, for example, by waste heat from other processes.    <\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\" itemprop=\"name\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-uurj189-40\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-uurj189-40\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                    <i class=\"accordion-icon\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-double-down\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-down\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-down\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <i class=\"accordion-active-icon tf_hide\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-double-up\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-up\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-up\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <span class=\"accordion-title-wrap\">IPCC<\/span>                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-uurj189-40\" data-id=\"acc-uurj189-40\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_76hx190\" itemprop=\"text\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_4j1w190 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_bokv190   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p>Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, often referred to in German as the \u201cWorld Climate Council.\u201d The panel\u2019s primary task is to compile and evaluate, from a scientific perspective, the scientific basis and the current state of global research on the impacts of climate change and its risks, as well as mitigation and adaptation strategies. <\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\" itemprop=\"name\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-uurj189-41\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-uurj189-41\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                    <i class=\"accordion-icon\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-double-down\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-down\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-down\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <i class=\"accordion-active-icon tf_hide\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-double-up\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-up\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-up\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <span class=\"accordion-title-wrap\">Catalytic Cracking<\/span>                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-uurj189-41\" data-id=\"acc-uurj189-41\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_yj5m190\" itemprop=\"text\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_qv8u190 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_kadg190   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p>Catalytic cracking refers to a chemical process in which organic substances are heated in the presence of a catalyst.

The goal of this international agreement, concluded in 1992, is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. Since 1995, the parties to the UNFCCC have met annually at so-called climate summits to discuss concrete steps toward achieving the agreed-upon goal. In 1997, the UNFCCC adopted the Kyoto Protocol, a supplementary protocol to the Climate Convention. The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015, requires all countries for the first time to define and implement mitigation targets and to subject their progress to review. Every five years, the targets are to be compared with the latest scientific findings and adjusted accordingly.     <\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\" itemprop=\"name\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-uurj189-71\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-uurj189-71\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                    <i class=\"accordion-icon\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-double-down\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-down\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-down\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <i class=\"accordion-active-icon tf_hide\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-double-up\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-up\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-up\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <span class=\"accordion-title-wrap\">Unavoidable CO2 Emissions<\/span>                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-uurj189-71\" data-id=\"acc-uurj189-71\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_96gt189\" itemprop=\"text\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_4dd4189 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_n2a9189   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p>Process-related CO2 emissions that cannot be avoided despite optimization of the production process or the product.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\" itemprop=\"name\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-uurj189-72\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-uurj189-72\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                    <i class=\"accordion-icon\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-double-down\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-down\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-down\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <i class=\"accordion-active-icon tf_hide\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-double-up\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-up\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-up\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <span class=\"accordion-title-wrap\">Heat Pump<\/span>                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-uurj189-72\" data-id=\"acc-uurj189-72\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_g13m189\" itemprop=\"text\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_wa0t189 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_vcd1189   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p>A system that, through the application of mechanical work, absorbs thermal energy from a lower-temperature reservoir (e.g., air or the ground) and\u2014together with the drive energy\u2014transfers it as useful heat to a higher-temperature system that needs to be heated.

White Certificate White certificates are systems in which market participants\u2014primarily energy suppliers and grid operators\u2014are required to achieve a specific savings target within a set period and to implement energy efficiency measures for consumers. The certificates document the energy-saving measures in terms of quantity and time period. For energy savings achieved, the market participant receives corresponding certificates, which they can either use to meet their own obligations or sell to other obligated market participants. If a obligated energy supplier or distributor has not accumulated any certificates, or has accumulated too few, it faces a penalty fee.      <\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\" itemprop=\"name\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-uurj189-76\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-uurj189-76\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                    <i class=\"accordion-icon\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-double-down\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-down\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-down\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <i class=\"accordion-active-icon tf_hide\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-double-up\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-up\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-up\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <span class=\"accordion-title-wrap\">World Climate Report<\/span>                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-uurj189-76\" data-id=\"acc-uurj189-76\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_zv3u189\" itemprop=\"text\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_nwwp189 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_wchu189   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p>Colloquial German term for the regular assessment reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
