FCA cooperates with the Handelsblatt

Our recommended climate charity Future Cleantech Architects (FCA) is now featured regularly in Handelsblatt, the largest and most-cited German business and financial newspaper with >500,000 readers per issue and >90,000 subscribers.

Framed as “Green ideas that might change the world”, Handelsblatt presents interesting “greentech” innovations and highlights their potential and obstacles - from wave power and carbon-neutral cement to energy-producing algae. FCA provides scientific support to the series.

All articles of the series are available in German on the FCA website. The following topics have been covered so far:

• “Heating with Excess Computer Heat,” August 13, 2024
• Offshore solar systems: “Offshore-Photovoltaik – Wie viel bringen schwimmende Solaranlagen?”, 11.06.2024
• Innovative energy storage: “Eisen statt Kohle – So lässt sich in Zukunft Energie speichern”, 14.05.2024
• Run-of-river hydropower: “Innovative Flusskraftwerke könnten der Wasserkraft zu einem Comeback verhelfen”, 09.04.2024
