Young climate reporters at ZBT

As part of their summer academy project, young reporters visited the ZBT to learn about progress towards climate-neutral mobility.

‘Act green! – Green mobility: When will the climate-neutral transition happen?’ – this is the title of this year’s summer academy organised by the Catholic Academy Die Wolfsburg in Mülheim/Ruhr for committed school pupils and young adults.

What could be more obvious than a visit to the ZBT – Centre for Fuel Cell Technology? It is literally ‘close at hand’, as the academy is only a short walk away through the beautiful Duisburg city forest.

Thirteen young climate reporters interviewed our Head of Communications Theresa Schredelseker (pictured) with questions for their report. Afterwards, they took some photos of our fuel cell-powered Hyundai Nexo.

We would like to thank you very much for your visit! We look forward to seeing you again next year.

In the meantime, you can watch the report on YouTube (ger.).
