To achieve the turnaround towards carbon neutrality, countries need to take much more ambitious action in this decade. One of the key fields of action is the transition of the energy sector –from fossil to renewable fuels, while drastically reducing energy consumption. This paperdiscusses...

By 2050, the European Union aims to become climate neutral. The achievement of this goal will require, among others, a massive boost in energy efficiency. Companies and other organizations can make a significant contribution to climate protection through systematic and long-term energy...

The success of climate and natural resource protection depends amongst others on the expansion of renewable energies. The policy paper describes the central results of the RESCUE study as well as the challenges and steps required to expand renewable energies in order to achieve greenhouse gas...

Air transport is a sector with particularly dynamic emissions growth. The European Union has led the way in climate protection and included aviation in the European Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) in 2012. To support the international process for a global market-based measure to limit...

In addition to carbon dioxide, air traffic operation affects the climate through other emissions and atmospheric processes, such as the formation of ozone and contrail cirrus. The climate impact of these non-CO2 effects is strongly dependent on the emission location (in particular cruise...

The climate neutrality of air and sea transport can hardly be achieved without the accelerated use of almost GHG-neutral fuels. Such fuels are generated from renewable electricity and are thus called electro fuels or (synthetic) e-fuels. To illustrate how these e-fuels can be made available and...

Der Bericht zum Forschungsvorhaben "Weiterentwicklung des umweltökonomischen Instrumentariums - Innovative Ansätze zur Verbesserung der Anreizwirkung umweltpolitischer Instrumente - Teilvorhaben II" (INCENT II) widmet sich folgender zentraler Fragestellung: Wie können umweltökonomische...

Dieser Bericht untersucht die Effekte einer weltweit gesteigerten Förderung von Schiefergas-Reserven und die Auswirkungen einer erhöhten Verfügbarkeit von Schiefergas auf die Treibhausgasreduktionsziele und -kosten. Zu diesem Zweck werden ein Szenario mit globaler Schiefergasförderung und...
