The transformation in Germany is no longer a project of the future – it is happening now. In a geopolitically tense and economically unstable environment, we need practical solutions that bring together climate protection, economic growth and social acceptance to successfully achieve net-zero. Natural gas, hydrogen and carbon management are the three key building blocks in this process. But how do we combine them into a coherent whole?

We kick off with a surprising format: Rainer Holl's solo slam ‘Energy transition with molecules’. Here things are not only explained but also questioned. He takes a close look at our patterns of thinking – with humour, plain language and a new perspective. As an author, poetry slammer, coach and moderator, Rainer Holl is one of the most experienced speakers in the field of science communication and storytelling.
