CLEAN MOVES weist Wege zur Kraftstoff-Autarkie
Brüssel/Hannover
17. April 2008 - Die Clean Moves Expo zeigt vom 21.
bis 25. April erneut energieeffiziente Mobilitätstechnologien
auf der weltgrößten Industriemesse. Vor allem der
Verkehrssektor steht derzeit vor rasanten Herausforderungen:
Sowohl CO2- und Schadstoffemissionen als auch die Abhängigkeit
vom Erdöl müssen dringend reduziert werden –
möglichst ohne dadurch die Mobilität einzuschränken.
Mit Bundesumweltminister Gabriel als Schirmherren, präsentiert
die CLEAN MOVES auf der HANNOVER MESSE in Halle 27, Stand
F41 die Bandbreite an neuen Konzepten und technischen Entwicklungen
hierfür. Themen sind unter anderem: Elektroantriebe,
nachhaltige Biokraftstoffe, Erdgasantriebe, synthetische Kraftstoffe
und optimierte Dieseltechnik.
Kraftstoff-Autarkie
und praktischer Klimaschutz durch effiziente Mobilität
Die
Clean Moves stellt effiziente Automobile von Volkswagen, Fiat,
Ford, Opel und Peugeot vor. Daneben präsentiert sich
insbesondere die deutsche Bioethanolwirtschaft mit Unternehmen
wie Verbio, CropEnergies, fuel21, Anklam Bioethanol und Prokon
Nord Energiesysteme. „In Europa erzeugtes Bioethanol
aus heimischen Rohstoffen garantiert nachhaltige Rohstoffe
und effizienten Klimaschutz für Autofahrer“, kommentiert
Dietrich Klein, Geschäftsführer des deutschen Bioethanolverbands
Landwirtschaftliche Biokraftstoffe (LAB). Zu den weiteren
CLEAN-MOVES-Partnern und –Ausstellern gehören Invest
in Germany, NORD/LB, der Bundesverband der Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft
(BDEW), der Arbeitskreis Erdgasfahrzeuge, die Fachagentur
Nachwachsende Rohstoffe (FNR), das Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe
und der Elektrotransporter Hersteller EcoCraft.
Neue
Entwicklungen im Batteriesektor eröffnen der Elektromobilität
große Potenziale. "Die Nutzung elektrischer Energie
im Verkehr bringt viele Vorteile mit sich. So kann diese aus
einer Vielzahl von Primärenergiequellen gewonnen werden,
was die Abhängigkeit von Erdölimporten deutlich
reduzieren könnte. Vor allem der Einsatz erneuerbarer
Energien bei der Stromerzeugung würde zu einer erheblichen
Verbesserung der CO2-Bilanz des Verkehrs führen",
so Bundesumweltminister Sigmar Gabriel. "Das Thema Elektromobilität
stellt nach meiner Überzeugung neben den Potenzialen
alternativer Kraftstoffe und den Effizienzverbesserungen an
konventionellen Antrieben einen wichtigen Baustein für
eine nachhaltige Mobilität in der Zukunft dar."
Sowohl
nachhaltige Biokraftstoffe, Brennstoffzellen- als auch Batterietechnologie
bieten das Potenzial für ein effizientes nachhaltiges
Antriebskonzept. Auf dem Weg zum Elektromotor als optimalem
Antriebssystem setzt Volkswagen nicht nur konsequent auf die
Diversifikation der Energiequellen mit SunFuel, sondern nutzt
kurz- und mittelfristig auch die Potenziale bestehender Fahrzeugtechnologien
noch besser aus: durch effizientere Antriebskonzepte sowie
neueste Erkenntnisse in der Aerodynamik und im Leichtbau.
Stellvertretend hierfür wird von Volkswagen auf der Clean
Moves 2008 u.a. ein Golf Bluemotion mit einer CO2-Emission
von 115 g/km gezeigt.

Efficient
mobility gains global momentum
– Third CLEAN MOVES EXPO at Hannover Messe
Brussels/Hannover,
25 February 2008 - The Clean Moves Expo, part
of the flagship Energy fair, will focus on unlocking new applications
for electric drives, sustainable biofuels, the latest developments
in natural gas drives and optimized diesel technology. With
German Federal Environment Minister
Sigmar Gabriel as its patron, the Clean Moves Expo at Hannover
Messe (the Hannover Fair) will cover the full range of energy-efficient
mobility technologies. The transport sector is currently facing
a number of major challenges. The industry needs to cut emissions
of CO2 and other harmful substances and reduce its dependency
on oil while also safeguarding a high level of mobility.
Innovations
in batteries are opening up exciting new possibilities in
the field of electromobility. “There are many advantages
to using electrical energy in transportation. It can be obtained
from a number of primary energy sources, which could substantially
reduce dependency on oil imports. And crucially, using renewable
energies to generate power will greatly improve the CO2 balance
in the transport sector”, comments Environment Minister
Sigmar Gabriel. “Alongside the potential offered by
alternative fuels and improvements in the efficiency of conventional
drives, electromobility will, in my opinion, also play a key
role in ensuring sustainable mobility in the future.”
Roger Kohlmann,
Deputy Managing Director of the Bundesverband der Energie-
und Wasserwirtschaft (BDEW, German Energy and Water Association),
adds: “More and more energy is now being generated by
wind and PV systems – however, as this source can be
somewhat erratic, we also need to create new and innovative
methods of storage. Electromobility has the potential to solve
this problem faster than comparable alternatives. As far as
the energy industry is concerned, it’s a win-win situation
for the environment, customers and the economy alike.”
Cars
are still responsible for the majority of transport-related
CO2 emissions. The most efficient way to use energy is to
conserve it. This simple conclusion has provided the launch
pad for developing highly-efficient cars. Manufacturers such
as Volkswagen, Fiat, Opel and Ford will be displaying examples
of these at Clean Moves 2008. “Clean Moves establishes
a firm foothold on the path towards finding technology that
will help to overcome the imbalances and dependencies of the
oil era. This event provides a market-focused showcase for
viable solutions,” comments Ralph
Kappler, the driving force behind Clean Moves.
Sustainable
biofuels – Germany is market leader in Europe
“Germany, one of the global front-runners in the development
of biofuels, is focusing on establishing international sustainability
standards for both the cultivation of biomass and the production
of biofuels,” says Dr.
Andreas Schütte of the Fachagentur Nachwachsende
Rohstoffe (Agency for Renewable Resources). His agency and
the BDEW are both supporting Clean Moves as information partners.
According to EU Commission guidelines, biofuels are to replace
ten percent of fossil fuels by 2020 to ensure sustainable
security of supply. The German Federal Government’s
road map anticipates that the proportion of sustainable biofuels
could be as high as 17 percent by 2020. Dietrich
Klein, Managing Director of the Verband Landwirtschaftliche
Biokraftstoffe (Association for Agricultural Biofuels) comments:
“If we produce bioethanol in Europe using the raw materials
available in the region, we can be confident of meeting the
EU’s sustainability criteria throughout the entire process
from cultivation to production.”
Germany
currently has four bioethanol plants with a total production
capacity of 620,000 tons. In 2008, two additional plants will
expand capacity to 850,000 tons. “The German bioethanol
industry leads the field in Europe and this, the most important
industry event worldwide, is therefore the perfect setting
for us and the bioethanol association,” says Lutz
Guderjahn, Chief Operating Officer of CropEnergies
AG. “Today, bioethanol production is highly efficient
and the potential offered by biomass is being used to the
full to help protect the climate.” Biodiesel and bioethanol
will continue to offer potential for improvement, though this
is limited due to the raw materials currently in use. “The
key factor in the long-term will be to develop processes that
allow us to use alternative raw materials from outside the
food chain,” says Klaus
Kilian, Head of Marketing/Communication at
Lurgi GmbH. Working in conjunction with the Forschungszentrum
Karlsruhe (Karlsruhe Research Center), Frankfurt-based Lurgi
has developed a process that turns biomass into valuable synthetic
fuels. Lurgi and the Forschungzentrum Karlsruhe will present
this innovative new process at Clean Moves.
Natural
gas vehicles in the fast lane
Natural gas vehicles are becoming increasingly popular. At
the beginning of 2008, around 70,000 vehicles fitted with
this environmentally friendly, cost-effective drive system
were registered for use on Germany’s roads. Several
new models will come onto the market in the course of the
year, including the Opel Zafira TNG and the VW Passat TSI
EcoFuel, the first vehicles with natural gas turbo engines.
They promise to deliver lower emissions of harmful substances
and a reduction in fuel consumption. “In terms of CO2
emissions, the figures for natural gas vehicles are very positive
– and they will improve even more in the future due
to the blending of renewable bio-natural gas with natural
gas fuel,” says Dr. Ulrich
Müller, Chairman of the Trägerkreis
Erdgasfahrzeuge (Natural Gas Vehicle Group). The first projects
have already been put into practice. In northern Germany,
for example, drivers in the region supplied by Oldenburg-based
EWE AG (between the Ems, Weser and Elbe rivers), can refuel
with a proportion of bio-natural gas at over 50 natural gas
filling stations. As a fuel, natural gas is 50 percent cheaper
than gasoline on average.
High-octane
conference at the heart of Clean Moves
Automotive manufacturers, fuel producers, suppliers, investors
and consumers will share their know-how about market-ready
products at the Clean Moves conference, an integral part of
the exhibition. Michael Müller,
Parliamentary State Secretary at the German
Federal Ministry for the Environment, will speak about the
latest requirements set down by EU legislation. In addition,
representatives of automotive groups Volkswagen, Toyota, Ford,
Opel, Fiat and Seat will give the latest updates from the
field of efficient drives and mobility concepts. The conference
will also focus on cutting-edge developments in electric drives
and storage technologies and on the potential of vehicle2grid
solutions as demonstrated by leading innovations company Li-Tec,
for example.
“HANNOVER
MESSE is world-renowned as a center of excellence for innovations,
new concepts and technologies,” says trade fair manager
Oliver Frese
who is responsible for energy-related topics at HANNOVER MESSE.
“New technologies are of keen interest to visitors from
industry, the political world and the general public. The
Clean Moves Expo with its energy-efficient mobility solutions
is ideally located at the very heart of the new energy hub
in Hall 27 and is directly linked with the Partner Country
Japan section.” More than 35,000 visitors are expected
to attend the integrated “Clean Moves Exhibition and
Conference”. The platinum sponsors of the Clean Moves
Expo at this year’s HANNOVER MESSE are NORD/LB and the
federal Invest in Germany agency. Further press information

Clean Moves at the 86th Salon Auto in Brussels
Halo
Energy, Brussels, 3rd December 2007 –
While green mobility emerges as one of the latest marketing
buzz words, the European Motor Show offers over 700.000 expected
visitors the opportunity to watch and test drive energy efficient
vehicles and motorcycles. From 17-27 January 2008 Salon Auto
visitors will be able to touch and feel first hand in exhibition
hall1 that electric cars and scooters offer added value without
drastically changing motoring habits. “Most consumers
still perceive clean energy as an abstract commodity. Cars
and motorbikes on the other hand are mass lifestyle symbols
triggering affection. It is therefore an intriguing option
to market clean energy through emerging efficient mobility
technologies”, says Clean Moves founder and organizer
Ralph Kappler.
The
independent, small and medium sized enterprise driven, Clean
Moves Brussels information platform features fuel efficient
inner city transport solutions, including the Brussels premiere
of the new REVAi ElectriCityCar, the most successful EV in
production with 3000 cars on the road today, and as well electric
scooters presented by EVstart from Antwerp. "The REVA
has been a major success in London. We have now decided to
make our mark on the European mainland", says Chetan
Maini, CEO of the Reva Electric Car Company in India. “Electric
vehicles are a perfect solution for clean, swift and comfortable
city mobility at affordable prices with technology that exists
today. We are the only shop in Belgium to offer such an assortment
and choice of electric vehicles, commercially available on
the market today”, comments Roby Zahler, Managing Director
of EVstart. EVstart will exhibit a range of high- end electric
bicycles and new electric scooters, among others Flyer electric
bicycles, E-bikes and the electric Helio scooters.
“The
Vrije Universiteit Brussel will present scientific and for
main stream audiences assessable information about environmentally
friendly cars. Which technologies fuels should be used? How
do these new technologies reduce our environmental impacts
on climate change and our health? Every one could ride a bike,
also electric bikes. This is the information you will get
on our Clean Moves stand", says Prof. Dr. ir. Joeri Van
Mierlo, from the Department of Electrical Engineering and
Energy Technology at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Efficient
mobility technologies reduce our dependence from volatile
fossil fuel imports. Ajit Nazre, Partner at the distinguished
KPCB venture capital firm in Palo Alto, confirms this view
from an investor’s perspective: “From all market
ready clean mobility and alternative fuel options, electrically
powered engines and vehicles appear to be the most promising
solution.”
The
Clean Moves Expo was initiated in 2005 by small and medium
sized (SME) companies in London and presents now its annual
flagship event at Hannover Messe, the largest global industry
trade fair, where a range of already market proven technologies,
such as advanced battery and storage solutions, efficient
bio-fuels and high performance electric engines are on display.
