Decarbon Days in Cottbus: A step into the climate -friendly future!
Decarbon Days in Cottbus: A step into the climate -friendly future!
Forschungscampus Lausitz Science Park, Cottbus, Deutschland - In Cottbus, the exciting event "Decarbon Days" will take place from June 26th to 28th, 2025. The venue is the research campus in Lausitz Science Park, a former aircraft hangar that is ideally suited for such innovative meetings. Scientists, entrepreneurs and politicians come together here to discuss important topics related to air conditioning and industry. In particular, it is about the development of a CO2-free industry and the use of climate-friendly technologies as part of the Net Zero Valley project, which was launched in 2023 to create jobs and perspectives in the region affected by the structural change. But the conversion plans for this promising project are stalling.
It is particularly explosive that Arcelor Mittal, an important player in the industry, has given up plans for a green steel mill. There is a lack of available hydrogen and the prices are high, which brakes the progress considerably. Furthermore, legislative initiatives at the federal and EU level created a certain planning uncertainty, which means that many projects are reduced, shifted or even deleted.A look at the program items
The first days of the event are filled with exciting panels and short lectures. On Friday, the focus is on climate -neutral aviation and the new markets that can arise from climate -friendly technologies. A highlight will be the short lecture by Jacob Beautemps, which talks about investments in the sector. In addition, Kristina Jeromin will explain what sustainable financing models can look like.
Saturday then specifically aims at the social consequences of change, the shortage of skilled workers and the need for regional training structures. It is clear that the challenges that the climate -friendly industry is facing are not only technical but also social in nature.
European perspectives and goals
The topics of "Decarbon Days" are also in the context of the wider European efforts to reduce CO2 emissions. According to the MPs of the European Parliament, it is important to develop clean energy sources as alternatives to fossil fuels and to increase the proportion of renewable energies in the final energy consumption to 42.5 percent by 2030. Currently, over 20 percent of the energy consumed in the EU is already coming from renewable sources, with the trend towards wind, solar and hydrogen technologies. In addition, the EU financing for natural gas infrastructure is gradually discontinued in order to redirect funds into sustainable projects and reduce the dependency on fossil fuels.
The "Decarbon Days" in Cottbus are therefore not only a local, but also an international platform for discussion about the challenges and opportunities associated with the transition to a climate -friendly economy. The coming days could be decisive for what the future of industry in Germany and across Europe looks like. Further information on the event days can be found on the official website of the Decarbon Days, where compliance with the data protection guidelines also has a top priority. This is ensured by the responsible company, two Helden GmbH, as is carried out in more detail in their data protection declaration.
