eFuels - A mix of technologies will most likely be used for the future of energy sources, including hydrogen but also synthetic fuels. There are already German companies dedicated to the extraction of eFuels. Sunfire is involved in a project in Norway and Porsche ($POAHY (+0,59%)) is working together with Siemens ($SIE (+0,56%)) in Chile on a production plant that is expected to produce 550 million liters of fuel per year.
The key obstacle to synthetic fuels is the amount of energy required, which thereby also increases the price of eFuel and makes it uncompetitive. However, in regions with strong winds or long hours of sunshine, things may be different. The clear advantages of these fuels are the use of an existing infrastructure and the storage capability. This makes eFuels useful as an additional energy source, even in the long term.
Facebook ($FB2A (-0,03%)) - The Group wants to build a "metaverse" with the help of 10,000 highly skilled jobs to be created in Europe over the next 5 years. This virtual world sees itself as a fusion of augmented and virtual reality with physical reality. This "metaverse" is not intended to have an owner or proprietor, but to be openly accessible and usable, similar to the Internet.
The situation surrounding Facebook is delicate; in the USA and in the European Union, further regulations and even a split-up of the group are being discussed.

MintGreen - The Canadian crypto mining company, which aims to mine cryptocurrencies under environmentally friendly and sustainable conditions, plans to provide heat to more than 100 residential and commercial buildings in the coming year. This will affect approximately 155,000 residents in the northern part of the city of Vancouver, according to the company's statements. Furthermore, the company stated that it is possible to recover over 96% of the electricity required for mining in the form of thermal energy. With this technical solution, it would be possible to prevent 20,000 tons of greenhouse gases per megawatt from being emitted into the atmosphere.
