This report briefly summarises the status and outlook for hydrogen in each G7 member, including analyses of technology, costs, strategy and stated policy support for each country, and presents recommendations for accelerating global hydrogen trade.
Fusion energy, often described as the “holy grail” of power sources, holds the potential to revolutionize how we generate electricity and tackle global energy challenges. At its core, fusion is the process that powers the sun and stars, where two light atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. The promise of harnessing this natural phenomenon for human use is one of the most exciting scientific endeavors of our time. The appeal of fusion energy lies in its virtually limitless potential. Unlike conventional energy sources such as fossil fuels, which are finite and contribute to environmental degradation, fusion uses fuels like deuterium and tritium, isotopes of hydrogen that are abundant in water and lithium. These fuels are not only plentiful, but the fusion process produces no greenhouse gases or long-lived radioactive waste, making it an incredibly clean energy source. In theory, fusion could provide an inexhaustible supply of energy, helping to meet the world’s growing demand while reducing the environmental impacts associated with other forms of energy production. In addition to its environmental benefits, fusion energy promises to be a game-changer for energy security. As the global population increases and industrialization expands, the demand for energy will continue to rise. Traditional sources like coal, oil, and natural gas are becoming increasingly insufficient, both in terms of supply and sustainability. Nuclear fission, while capable of generating large amounts of energy, carries significant risks, such as nuclear accidents and the challenge of radioactive waste disposal. Fusion, on the other hand, offers a potentially safer alternative, with no risk of runaway reactions and no long-term waste problems.Ver livro

"This book is so rich with insights, sparkling dialogue, and wisdom that one would love to distribute it like a leaflet around town." Südwestrundfunk (German radio station) "The intellectual dance that the two dare to dance is intelligent, light, humorous, and enchanting." Süddeutsche Zeitung (German daily) "I recommend this book not only to the cybernetics and systems community, but to anyone." Ranulph Glanville, Cybernetics and Human Knowing "Easy and enjoyable to read, without loss of scientific and philosophical depth and rigor. … The reader will find the book difficult to put down." Bernd R. Hornung, Journal of Sociocybernetics Conversations for skeptics How real is reality? Are our images of the world mere inventions or do they correspond to an external reality? Is it possible to know the truth? These are some of the questions that are discussed in this book by physicist and philosopher Heinz von Foerster and media studies scholar Bernhard Poerksen. Together they explore the limits of our cognitive capacities; they debate the apparent objectivity of our sensual perception and the consequences of "truth terrorism"; and they talk about the relationship between knowledge and ethics, sight and insight. The authors: Heinz von Foerster (1911–2002) completed his studies of physics in Vienna and worked at different research labs before emigrating to the United States in 1949. In 1957, at the University of Illinois, he established the Biological Computer Lab (BCL) – the cradle of the epistemology that would later cause a stir under the label of "constructivism." The focus was on analyzing the logical and methodological problems that in evitably arise when one seeks to know knowledge. He is the author of numerous books, including Understanding Understanding: Essays on Cybernetics and Cognition. Bernhard Poerksen is professor of media studies at the University of Tübingen with a particular research interest in the new media age. His books about systemic thinking have been translated into many languages. In 2008 he was voted "Professor of the Year" in honor of his teaching. His most recent book publications in English include From Being to Doing: The Origins of the Biology of Cognition (with Humberto Maturana), The Unleashed Scandal: The End of Control in the Digital Age (with Hanne Detel), and Digital Fever: Taming the Big Business of Disinformation.Ver livro
