Global climate goals are designed to ensure that man-made global warming does not exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius under any circumstances. If we do not do so, it will lead to devastating consequences for our planet, some of which we are witnessing today in the form of severe storms and floods. The transition to renewable energy is one of the most important measures. To achieve net zero by 2050, it is also important to decarbonise industry. The decarbonisation of heat has an enormous impact here. It plays a central role in all industrial processes.

This latest financing move will increase the company's 'worldwide visibility'. "We have specifically selected investors with roots in sectors such as food, steel and energy that will help us consolidate our market-leading position," said CEO Schichtel. Kraftblock said the partners "create new opportunities in the US market and provide access to sectors such as mining and energy in Latin America".
