Ukraine supportstheParis ClimateAgreement • 1,5°C means all GHG emissionsneedtobestoppedlatestby 2030: 100% Renewables • 100% Renewablesmeansenergyautonomy;noenergydependencyfromRussia, Europe andothers
The crisesofclimatewarming & energydependencycanonlybesolvedbytwo parallel strategies: • Stopgreenhouse gas emissions (not only a reductionofemissions) • switch to 100% renewables • completelystoptheuseof fossil andnuclearenergies in energy, chemistry, transport, agriculture 2. Take out carbonfromtheatmosphere • convertplants to humussoil (biocoal) • reforestbigareas, greenthedeserts • organicagriculture The Target must be330 ppm CO₂ This leads to global cooling, insteadof global warming

Climate Protection and Energy Security Policies PromotingRenewableEnergyand Chemistry & OrganicFarming: • Climateprotectioninto national constitution • Laws forfeed-in-tariffs (GET FIT fordeveloping countries) • Taxreliefforrenewables • Carbon tax • Cancelingsubsidiesfor fossil andnuclearenergy, fossil chemistryand intensive agriculture • Research andeducationforrenewablesandorganicfarming • Reducingobstaclesforapproval • Disposebigareasforreforestingandregreening Not successful: • Tenderingorcertificatesystems • Emission trading

Key Points of an Effective Renewable Energy Act (Feed-in Law; EEG) • Privileged grid access • Feed-in tariff have to be sufficient for an economic operation, differentiated through technologies and size • Funding of the feed-in tariff via electricity rate • No cap for feed-in of renewable energies • Garanteed peroid of renumeration • Also: no obstructions by a restrictive permission policy
