Klimaschutz durch Effizienzsteigerung bei Kühlgeräten mittels Nachfragebündelung : Kurzfassung
(2003)
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.

Evaluation des Online-Modernisierungsratgebers von co2online : Beiträge des Wuppertal Instituts
(2006)
Der Verkehrssektor ist keineswegs der einzige, jedoch ein wesentlicher Verursacher der Klimaprobleme. Der Automobilverkehr als traditioneller Hauptbelaster im Verkehrsbereich zeigt zwar vergleichsweise positive Tendenzen, trotzdem ist auch hier noch erheblicher weiterer Handlungsbedarf gegeben. Das Wuppertal Institut hat hier in übersichtlicher und systematischer Form Stand und Perspektiven zusammengetragen. Nach einer ausführlichen Einbettung in den Klimadiskurs erfolgt die schrittweise Konzentration auf den PKW-Verkehr Deutschlands. Für diesen Bereich werden im Detail die denkbaren technischen Ansätze und die möglichen Umsetzungsmaßnahmen erörtert.

CO2-capture and geological storage as a climate policy option : technologies, concepts, perspectives
(2007)
The idea of removing carbon dioxide from flue gas and industrial gas flows and putting it into suitable long-term storage sites is referred to as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). This publication provides a close look at this new line of technologies, describing its current status and outlining the prospects for development. The approach is both diagnostic and analytical, identifying the questions a technology assessment poses and showing the steps that need to be taken to implement CCS.
CCS is currently moving to the centre of climate policy discussion. Nonetheless this line of technologies is still the subject of controversial discussion. On the one hand there is a clear hope that these technologies will open up opportunities to use fossil fuels without harming the climate and thus make it possible to continue using oil, natural gas and above all coal even under a stricter climate regime. Accordingly, numerous R&D projects have been initiated all over the world, and various demonstration projects are at the planning or implementation stage. On the other hand, CCS (especially the storage part) has given rise to considerable scepticism from an ecological point of view.

Iran ist eines der größten Erdölförderländer und verfügt über riesige Erdgasreserven - und hat doch ein Energieproblem. Im Zuge des steigenden Energieverbrauchs droht das Land zum Energieimporteur zu werden. Ein Ausweg wird in der Kernenergie gesucht, was durch den Fokus auf den militärischen Aspekt ein großes Konfliktpotenzial birgt.
In seiner Dissertation entwickelt Nikolaus Supersberger "Szenarien eines diversifizierten Energieangebots in OPEC-Staaten am Beispiel Irans - Strategien eines auf klimaschonenden Energieträgern basierenden Umstiegs". Die Ergebnisse sind in diesem Reader zusammengefasst.
Es wird deutlich, dass die Kernenergie für eine langfristig sichere Energieversorgung nicht notwendig ist. Er zeigt das große Potenzial zur Nutzung erneuerbarer Energien und dass eine vollregenerative Stromerzeugung möglich ist. Zudem wird offenbar, dass der Einsatz erneuerbarer Energien und von Energieeffizienz die Ölexporte Irans wie auch anderer OPEC-Staaten deutlich strecken würde.
Dieser Spartenband beinhaltet die wichtigsten Ergebnisse, die im Rahmen der Forschungspartnerschaft INFRAFUTUR in der Sparte Energie erarbeitet worden sind. In insgesamt 14 Kapiteln, die dem logischen Aufbau der Untersuchungen in der dreijährigen Partnerschaft folgen, werden für die Sparte Energie die Perspektiven dezentraler Infrastrukturen im Spannungsfeld von Wettbewerb, Klimaschutz und Qualität aufgezeigt. Schwerpunkt des Projektes war eine SWOT-Analyse, d.h. eine umfangreiche Analyse der Vor- und Nachteile einer dezentralen Organisation der Infrastrukturdienstleistungen sowie der Chancen und Gefahren für verschiedene kommunale Unternehmenstypen. Die Ergebnisse bildeten die Basis für die Strategieentwicklung, die in den Kapiteln 13 und 14 dargestellt wird. Um relevante Strategien für die beteiligten Praxispartner entwickeln zu können - trotz (zum Teil erheblicher) Unterschiede in den örtlichen und regionalen Gegebenheiten kommunaler Unternehmen der Energiewirtschaft - wurden drei idealtypische kommunale Unternehmenstypen als Referenzpunkt definiert.
In der vorliegenden Screening-Studie werden zum Thema "Einführung synthetischer Kraftstoffe in Nordrhein-Westfalen" relevante Entscheidungsgrößen auf verschiedenen Ebenen der Energie-, Klima- und Industriepolitik in NRW aufgearbeitet und bewertet. Das Projekt im Auftrag des Ministeriums für Wirtschaft, Mittelstand und Energie (MWME) des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen leistet damit einen Beitrag zur Einschätzung des Potenzials und der Effekte, die durch GTL in und für NRW erzielt werden können.
