Indicators for the promotion of sustainable development in carbon market mechanisms
This report assesses options for the effective implementation of sustainable development impact assessment, in the context of climate change mitigation mechanisms such as those of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. To ensure that these mechanisms contribute to sustainable development in the host country, it is necessary to measure this effect.
Prüfung des Vorschlags der Europäischen Kommission für die post-2020-Gesetzgebung zur CO2-Minderung bei Pkw und leichten Nutzfahrzeugen
In einem Forschungsprojekt wurde untersucht, welche Anreize im Verkehrssektor nötig sind, um den Einsatz von innovativen Technologien für Pkw, leichte und schwere Nutzfahrzeuge zur Einsparung von Kraftstoffen zu forcieren. In der Studie wird gezeigt, dass eine höhere Emissionsminderung für diese Fahrzeuge aus technischer und ökonomischer Sicht sinnvoll und möglich ist.
Further development of the EU ETS for aviation against the background of the introduction of a global market-based measure by ICAO
In 2012, aviation was included in the EU ETS. In 2016, the ICAO also adopted a global measure to limit CO2 emissions from international aviation (CORSIA). The aim of the research project is to investigate the reciprocal effects between these two market-based instruments. In particular, several options how both could be optimally combined are considered.
Avoiding double counting between CORSIA and Nationally Determined Contributions – Options for accounting under the Paris Agreement
This discussion paper assesses how robust accounting could be implemented under the Paris Agreement in order to avoid double counting between nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) implemented under the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
Offset credit supply potential for CORSIA
This discussion paper assesses how robust accounting could be implemented under the Paris Agreement in order to avoid double counting between nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) implemented under the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
Options for Improving the Emission Unit Eligibility Criteria under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation
This discussion paper assesses how robust accounting could be implemented under the Paris Agreement in order to avoid double counting between nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) implemented under the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
Analysis and assessment of the design of an offsetting system for international aviation
This discussion paper assesses how robust accounting could be implemented under the Paris Agreement in order to avoid double counting between nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) implemented under the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
Raising the EU 2030 GHG Emission Reduction Target
The political debate on raising EU’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction target for 2030 from at least 40 percent up to 55 percent or even higher is in full swing. While the European Commission has proposed to reduce emissions by at least 55 percent below 1990 levels, the European Parliament went a step further and adopted a target of 60 percent emissions reductions.
Photovoltaik-Pflicht mit Verpachtungskataster: Optionen zur Gestaltung einer bundesweiten Pflicht zur Installation und zum Betrieb neuer Photovoltaikanlagen
Ziel des Gutachtens war es, verschiedene Ausgestaltungsoptionen für eine Photovoltaik-Pflicht (PV-Pflicht) zu untersuchen und zu bewerten. Oft werden Photovoltaik-Anlagen (PV-Anlagen) nicht gebaut, obwohl sie wirtschaftlich wären. In anderen Fällen werden kleinere PV-Anlagen installiert, obwohl auf dem Dach noch mehr Fläche verfügbar wäre.
Presentation and Comparison of Site Investigation Methods for Offshore Wind Energy in the European North Seas Countries in the Context of the EU North Seas Energy Cooperation
As part of the Energy Cooperation between the North Seas Countries to facilitate the further environment friendly, sustainable and effective deployment of offshore renewable energy, this report provides an overview on the site investigation procedures that are applied.
Ad hoc Beratung bei der Umsetzung der Monitoring Verordnung für die 4. Phase des EU Emissionshandels
Die überarbeitete EU‐Richtlinie für Erneuerbare Energien (EU 2018/2001, RED II) hat Auswirkungen auf die Regelungen und den Vollzug der in 2021 beginnenden 4. Phase des europäischen Emissionshandelssystems.
Abschätzung der Treibhausgasminderungswirkung des Klimaschutzprogramms 2030 der Bundesregierung
Im Rahmen dieses Gutachtens werden die Treibhausgasminderungswirkungen der Einzelmaßnahmen des Klimaschutzprogramms 2030 analysiert. Die Methodik entspricht dem Projektionsbericht 2019.
Dieser Bericht umfasst zwei Szenarien:
