Klimaschutz durch Effizienzsteigerung bei Kühlgeräten mittels Nachfragebündelung : Kurzfassung
(2003)
This book presents important new research on applied eco-efficiency concepts throughout Europe. The aim of eco-efficiency is to achieve market-based measures of environmental protection, in order to enhance the prospects for sustainable development and achieve positive economic and ecological benefits. The distinguished authors discuss a number of themes surrounding eco-efficiency including the necessary conditions for technological dissemination and ecological modernization, and the role of government in enabling businesses and society to participate actively in this process. In particular, they highlight the application of existing European-based policies concerning material flows and energy. The authors also investigate some new concepts of sustainable development and provide a useful introduction to material flows analysis. In further chapters they study the emerging regulatory policies for eco-efficiency, and examine the issues of sustainable business and consumption strategies.

The brochure focuses on the significance of the construction sector and aim to collect world-wide innovative project approaches that have already been implemented to promote the concepts. Using a key number of internationally accepted criteria, the main considerations have been the energy efficiency and in a broad sense also the resource efficiency of the projects.

Im Auftrag des BMZ werden innovative Technologieentwicklungen in Deutschland und Europa eruiert und bewertet. Ziel ist es, Entwicklungen frühzeitig zu erkennen, die für Entwicklungsländer und die internationale Zusammenarbeit wichtig sein können. Der inhaltliche Schwerpunkt liegt hierbei in den Bereichen Trinkwasser- und Energiebereitstellung. Die Untersuchung gliedert sich in drei Elemente. Zunächst besteht die Aufgabe darin, eine Screening-Methodik inklusive Kriterien/Indikatoren auszuarbeiten, anhand derer potenziell interessante Ansätze ermittelt werden können. Im zweiten Schritt wird mit Hilfe dieser Methodik eine Vorauswahl für viel versprechende Projekte vorgenommen. In dieser Auswahl ist bereits eine erste Einschätzung hinsichtlich der möglichen Umsetzbarkeit der Ansätze im Sinne von nachhaltiger Entwicklung, also unter Beachtung ökologischer, ökonomischer und sozialer Kriterien, enthalten. Im dritten Schritt wird eine zusammenfassende Bewertung der einzelnen Technologien vorgenommen. Da es sich hier um die Betrachtung neuer, innovativer Technologien handelt, für die der Informationsstand häufig vergleichsweise gering ist, muss die vorgenommene Bewertung vor diesem Hintergrund gesehen werden und kann allenfalls als eine Art grundsätzliche Einschätzung verstanden werden. Nach Rückkopplung mit dem Auftraggeber wird das Thema "Algen" näher hinterfragt und in die Arbeit integriert.
In this second brochure, WISIONS aims to focus on the significance of a combined approach to water and energy and to present a number of projects from around the globe that have been successfully implemented, with the intention of further promoting the particular approaches used by these projects. Using a key number of internationally accepted criteria, the main consideration for selection of the projects was energy and resource efficiency, but social aspects such as the inclusion of local population were also of relevance. The assessment of the projects also included the consideration of regional factors acknowledging different needs and potentials.
Betrug - das Doping-Problem der Wissenschaften : nur extrawissenschaftliche Judikatur kann helfen

New energy efficiency policies have been introduced around the world. Historically, most energy models were reasonably equipped to assess the impact of classical policies, such as a subsidy or change in taxation. However, these tools are often insufficient to assess the impact of alternative policy instruments. We evaluate the so-called engineering economic models used to assess future industrial energy use. Engineering economic models include the level of detail commonly needed to model the new types of policies considered. We explore approaches to improve the realism and policy relevance of engineering economic modeling frameworks. We also explore solutions to strengthen the policy usefulness of engineering economic analysis that can be built from a framework of multidisciplinary cooperation. The review discusses the main modeling approaches currently used and evaluates the weaknesses in current models. We focus on the needs to further improve the models. We identify research priorities for the modeling framework, technology representation in models, policy evaluation, and modeling of decision-making behavior.
Klimawandel und Küstenschutz
(2005)
Using natural gas for fuel releases less carbon dioxide per unit of energy produced than burning oil or coal, but its production and transport are accompanied by emissions of methane, which is a much more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide in the short term. This calls into question whether climate forcing could be reduced by switching from coal and oil to natural gas. We have made measurements in Russia along the world's largest gas-transport system and find that methane leakage is in the region of 1.4%, which is considerably less than expected and comparable to that from systems in the United States. Our calculations indicate that using natural gas in preference to other fossil fuels could be useful in the short term for mitigating climate change.

In this brochure, WISIONS focuses on the significance of innovative strategies in the field of sustainable tourism. WISIONS presents projects from Tanzania, Germany, Ecuador, Switzerland and Ghana that have been successfully implemented, with the intention of further promoting the particular approaches used by these projects. Using a key number of internationally accepted criteria, the main consideration for the selection of the projects was energy and resource efficiency, but social aspects such as the inclusion of local population were also of relevance. The assessment of the projects also included the consideration of regional factors acknowledging different needs and potentials.
