Analysis of proposed eco-design requirements for boilers and water heaters

Paper within the framework of the „Material Efficiency and Resource Conservation“ (MaRess) Project - Task 14

In 2005, the European Union released the EuP Directive focusing on ecodesign requirements for energy-using products (2005/32/EC: EU Parliament and Council of the EU 2005). This directive, also called Ecodesign Directive, is a framework directive establishing a structure in which so-called implementing measures define specific requirements for placing products on the market and/or putting them into...read more

Projections of global emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases in 2050

Emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases are currently covered under the Montreal Protocol, which focuses on ozone-depleting substances such as CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) and HCFCs (hydrochlorofluorocarbons), and under the Kyoto Protocol, which controls emissions of HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons), PFCs (perfluorocarbons) and SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride). This study bridges the gap between political regim...read more

Cost-optimized Climate Stabilisation (OPTIKS)

It is the objective of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change to stabilise the concentration of greenhouse gases on such a level that ”would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system” (article 2 of the Framework Convention on Climate Change). This objective is an essential basis for the international negotiation process to further develop the climate regime (Kyoto...read more

CCS - Environmental protection framework for an emerging technology

What is ⁠CCS⁠? - The objective of CCS technology is the reduction of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, which occur, above all, in the combustion of fossil fuels at large point sources. - The climate-protection effect of CCS requires a functioning process chain comprising capture, transport and permanent storage. - CCS is not yet available. None of the above three steps is presently...read more
