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 according to the latest IPCC report. Thus, CH4...

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...

Water resources in Germany : increasingly polluted and regionally overused
Cullmann, Astrid; Sundermann, Greta; Wägner, Nicole; … - In: DIW weekly report : economy, politics, science : a … 12 (2022) 49/50, pp. 307-315
The effects of the climate crisis are worsening water shortages, not only in the Global South but also in Europe, for … regulatory instruments, water overuse is occurring in some regions of Germany. Overuse is especially an issue for industry, which … has contractually secured high volumes of water withdrawals at very low cost. In addition, there is extensive water …

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...

The cost of climate change to the German fruit vegetation sector
Kemfert, Claudia; Kremers, Hans - 2009
This paper applies the concept of damage coefficients introduced in Houba and Kremers (2008) to provide an estimate of the cost of climate change - in particular the cost of changes in mean regional temperature and precipitation - to the fruit vegetation sector. We concentrate on the production...
