Schwellenwerte für die Vorprüfung von Änderungsvorhaben nach Anlage 1 UVPG

Die Studie liefert Vorschläge für Schwellenwerte für ⁠UVP⁠-Vorprüfungen bei Änderungsvorhaben mit positiver ⁠Klimawirkung⁠ nach Anlage 1 UVPG. Hierzu wurde geprüft, ob solche Schwellenwerte für Bagatelländerungen EU-rechtlich zulässig, aus Umweltsicht vertretbar und praktisch-fachlich möglich sind. Auf Basis der Auswertung von Vorprüfungen und modellhaften Änderungsvorh…weiterlesen

Models for the analysis of international interrelations of the EU ETS and of a CBAM - Summary

Two types of large-scale models with different modelling philosophies are used to quantify socioeconomic effects in scenarios in which the EU moves forward in climate policy and applies different design options under the EU emissions trading system (ETS) combined with a Carbon Border Adjustment (⁠CBAM⁠).One model, GEM-E3, is a computable general equilibrium model that follows neoclas…weiterlesen

Models for the analysis of international interrelations of the EU ETS and of a CBAM - Extended model overview

This report is part of the overall project “Models for the analysis of international interrelations of the EU-ETS and of a CBAM”.It provides an overview of existing models that are in principle capable of representing the key topics of the overall research project: namely, a) the potential “carbon leakage” impacts from “uneven” carbon pricing, b) policies that address this risk, e.g. a carbon bord…weiterlesen

Determination of log KOC values according to OECD TG 106

For Melamine (CAS: 108-78-1)

The report presents a study on the environmental behaviour of melamine (CAS: 108-78-1), investigated in adsorption and desorption experiments with five different soils.As part of the study, the organic carbon-normalized adsorption coefficients (Koc values) were determined. Koc describes the relative distribution of a substance between soil and water, normalized to the fraction of organic carbon in…weiterlesen

Determination of log KOC values according to OECD TG 106

For 1H-benzotriazole (CAS: 95-14-7), 4-methyl- (CAS: 29878-31-7) and 5-methyl-benzotriazole (CAS: 136-85-6)

The report presents a study on the environmental behaviour of three benzotriazoles – 1H-benzotriazole (CAS 95-14-7), 4-methylbenzotriazole (CAS 29878-31-7), and 5-methylbenzotriazole (CAS 136-85-6) – investigated in adsorption and desorption experiments with five different soils.As part of the study, the organic carbon-normalized adsorption coefficients (Koc values) were determined.

Inclusion of downstream products in CBAM

Assessment and operationalisation of relevant criteria

The ⁠CBAM⁠ scope includes selected imported goods to ensure a level playing field with EU production covered by the EU ETS 1. While 573 mainly basic materials and products are covered, expanding the scope to downstream goods must be assessed. The paper identifies five criteria for prioritisation: share of CBAM inputs, emissions relevance, carbon-leakage risk, administrative burden, a…weiterlesen
