Methan - das unterschätzte Klimagas
Kemfert, Claudia; Schill, Wolf-Peter - In: DIW Wochenbericht 76 (2009) 39, pp. 656-662
In der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung steht Methan als Treibhausgas im Schatten von Kohlendioxid. Völlig zu Unrecht, denn mit einem Treibhauspotential, das etwa 25 mal größer als das von Kohlendioxid ist, macht es ein Sechstel der anthropogenen Treibhausgasemissionen aus. Unterschätzt wird Methan...

Methane: A Neglected Greenhouse Gas
Kemfert, Claudia; Schill, Wolf-Peter - In: Weekly Report 5 (2009) 32, pp. 218-223
Methane is a greenhouse gas that gets far less public attention than carbon dioxide. This is entirely unwarranted …. Being 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide in trapping heat in the atmosphere, methane accounts for about one-sixth of … all anthropogenic (i.e. human-induced) greenhouse gas emissions. Methane is also overlooked when it comes to taking …

Mitigation of methane emissions: a rapid and cost-effective response to climate change
Kemfert, Claudia; Schill, Wolf-Peter - 2009
Methane is a major anthropogenic greenhouse gas, second only to carbon dioxide (CO2) in its impact on climate change …. Methane (CH4) has a high global warming potential that is 25 times as large as the one of CO2 on a 100 year time horizon … dispersed, and not related to energy sectors. In this report, we analyze methane emission abatement options in five different …

Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of green waste : an environmental and economic assessment of HTC coal in the metropolitan region of Berlin, Germany
Medick, Jakob; Teichmann, Isabel; Kemfert, Claudia - 2017
Based on a life-cycle sustainability assessment and the calculation of carbon abatement costs, we quantify the greenhouse-gas emission reductions and costs if green waste in the metropolitan region of Berlin, Germany, is diverted from composting into the production of hydrothermally carbonized...

Nuclear power unnecessary for climate protection : there are more cost-efficient alternatives
Kemfert, Claudia; Burandt, Thorsten; Hainsch, Karlo; … - In: DIW economic bulletin 7 (2017) 48, pp. 498-506
The world needs to continue working to protect the climate—this is generally undisputed. However, there is no agreement on which technologies should be used to decarbonize the energy sector. Many international scenarios still assume a relevant role for nuclear power in the future. However, a...

German Electricity Prices: Only Modest Increase Due to Renewable Energy Expected
Traber, Thure; Kemfert, Claudia; Diekmann, Jochen - In: Weekly Report 7 (2011) 6, pp. 37-46
Consumer prices for electricity in Germany have risen considerably in recent years. These price increases are partially attributable to a strong rise in the apportionment for the promotion of renewable electricity in accordance with the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). The EEG...
