This book shows possible solutions to how a profitable energy supply can be implemented with almost no population resistance. Worldwide, more than 80 % of our energy needs are still covered by fossil fuels. Under these circumstances, can climate change still be stopped?Essential technologies for usage of wind energy with an emphasis on high-altitude wind utilization are presented. Airborne wind energy is one of the most promising technologies to enable a renewable energy turnaround in an economical way. The main problem of conventional renewable energy is the insufficient availability. To ensure a 100 % supply of renewable energy, enormous and very expensive storage capacities would have to be built up.
How we can cover our entire energy needs (electricity, mobility and heat) in the future without fossil fuels, without risking the competitiveness of our economy, is shown in this book.

Autoren-Porträt von Uwe Ahrens
Uwe Ahrens graduated in Aerospace Engineering from Technical University Berlin. In 1989, he founded the medical company aap Implantate AG for which he acted as long-time CEO. Having established a patent basis for a rail-based airborne wind energy conversion technology, he founded NTS Energy Systems in 2007. In 2012, the company successfully demonstrated the core functionality on a linear test section.Foreword:
Markus Hecht graduated in Mechanical Engineering at RWTH Aachen. After his PhD he worked in the railway industry in Switzerland until he became Professor for Rail vehicles at TU Berlin 1997. Main research topics of his group are energy efficiency and energy recovery.
