Bioenergy can play an important part in managing the transition towards a lowcarbon energy system. However, in many countries its rapid expansion increases pressures on agricultural land use and natural ecosystems, resulting in conflicts with conservation aims and food security. Establishing an...

Germany has set a target of a minimum of 80% renewable energy in the power sector for the year 2050. Among renewables, a very high share of fluctuating sources is foreseen, which may substantially decrease the security of the energy supply and grid stability. Biomass-based conversion systems...

The on-going energy transition in Germany aims at a power system dominated by RES (renewable energy sources) with more than 80% in 2050. The primary contributions are expected to come from inherently vRES (variable renewable energy sources), especially wind and solar power. Under currently...

Bioenergy can play an important part in managing the transition towards a lowcarbon energy system. However, in many countries its rapid expansion increases pressures on agricultural land use and natural ecosystems, resulting in conflicts with conservation aims and food security. Establishing an...

Current economic and social systems transgress several ecological planetary boundaries by far but without sufficiently fulfilling human needs and this in a globally unequal way, posing enormous challenges to political strategies and economic structures. To tackle these challenges, under a...

Our current economic systems are transgressing planetary boundaries globally and yet societal needs are not sufficiently and equally fulfilled. Fostering the bioeconomy as an economy based on renewable resources can be a transformation towards a sustainable future, to fulfill societal needs...

Der vorliegende Bericht befasst sich mit den Flächennutzungen und -umwandlungen der letzten 30 Jahre in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, mit besonderem Fokus auf den Betrachtungszeitraum 2016-2020. Zudem werden die politischen Ziele der Bundesregierung mit Bezug zu Flächenumwandlung...
