Background information on petroleum – Image: Xpert.Digital

Even though petroleum, or rather the “outdated use of petroleum”, is primarily responsible for the greenhouse effect and global warming, it nevertheless remains an important resource.

• Even the production of renewable energy products requires petroleum as a raw material.
• Almost all of our everyday products are based on petroleum.
• Petroleum is not only an energy source, but also an important raw material for plastics.
• Plastic is the colloquial term for all kinds of synthetic materials.
• Synthetic rubber, derived from petroleum, also accounts for 60% of the total rubber demand. Up to 70% of all rubber is used in the production of car tires.

The amount of plastic produced worldwide has increased dramatically in the last 70 years – from 1.5 million tons (1950) to approximately 370 million tons in 2019. This increase has been driven primarily by Asian countries – especially China – over the past 20 years.

Survey on reducing the climate impact of electromobility in Germany – Image: Xpert.Digital

As the TÜV Association's 2020 Mobility Study shows, the majority of respondents (47 percent) believe that traffic-related climate impact can be reduced to some extent through electromobility. However, 16 percent assume that electromobility has no reducing effect on traffic-related climate impact at all.

The original question posed in the study was as follows: “To what extent do you believe that electromobility can reduce traffic-related climate impact? Climate impact can…”

51 percent of the respondents were female, 49 percent were male.

To what extent do you believe that electromobility can reduce traffic-related climate pollution?

• Can be significantly reduced – 11%
• Can something be reduced – 35%
• Can hardly be reduced – 25%
• Cannot be reduced at all – 16%
• Don't know – 13%
