Conventional new buildings in OECD countries with a history of building codes save about 50 % of energy compared to average buildings in the building stock. This improvement, however, is not enough to create a building standard with low lifetime costs nor to reach long-term climate protection targets. Much higher energy savings can already be achieved through proven high-efficiency building concepts bringing net economic benefits among other advantages.
A strategic approach to integrated building design is the key to achieving these high-energy savings at low or no extra cost in residential buildings. In our paper we describe the "Easy Efficiency Approach", which can reduce primary energy consumption by 40 to 60 % compared to conventional new building standards, or by 70% to 80% when compared to the primary energy consumption of the existing building stock, and should be regarded as the minimum. This strategy focuses on low-cost options, mainly passive options. Although it can already significantly reduce energy consumption, this first step will not be sufficient to reach long-term climate protection goals. It is thus necessary to implement and support what we call an "Advanced Efficiency Approach", with savings up to 90% , as compared to new building standards, as soon as possible to avoid lock-in effects. Further improvements, especially through the active use of renewable energies, reduce the net primary energy demand to 0 % and beyond.
According to the chosen strategy clearly defined energy performance ranges, with reference to possible savings, for different climate zones worldwide are given. In verifying this approach simulations with BAT (Best Available Technologies) buildings of different types (single family, multi family, high rise) were carried out in close cooperation with project partners. This data has also been verified through an empirical database of built examples both for energy consumption as well their economic soundness.
Die Bereitstellung industrieller Prozesswärme ist eine zentrale Herausforderung für ein zukünftiges klimaneutrales Energiesystem. In diesem Artikel wird die Vielfalt an etablierten und neuen Energieträgern und Technologien zur treibhausgasarmen bzw. -neutralen Bereitstellung von Prozesswärme vorgestellt. Zudem werden ihre wichtigsten Stärken und Schwächen skizziert, um daraus geeignete Anwendungsfelder und eine Priorisierung ihres Einsatzes zu identifizieren.
Als Beitrag zu einer fundierten Diskussion über adäquate Politikinstrumente in der Wärmewende hat der FVEE mit seinen Mitgliedsinstituten im September 2015 ein Positionspapier erstellt: "Erneuerbare Energien im Wärmesektor - Aufgaben, Empfehlungen und Perspektiven". Dieses gibt einen umfassenden Überblick über die Herausforderungen und Handlungsoptionen im Wärmesektor und bietet damit eine wichtige Orientierung bei der Gestaltung der Energiewende.
Um die Energiewende erfolgreich umzusetzen, plädiert der FVEE für eine deutliche Stärkung des Wärmesektors in der Energiepolitik und eine entschiedene und langfristig angelegte Politik der Wärmewende, die den besonderen Anforderungen des Wärmesektors gerecht wird. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden ausgewählte Analyseergebnisse und Empfehlungen des Positionspapiers vorgestellt.
The CO2 utilisation is discussed as one of the future low-carbon technologies in order to accomplish a full decarbonisation in the energy intensive industry. CO2 is separated from the flue gas stream of power plants or industrial plants and is prepared for further processing as raw material. CO2 containing gas streams from industrial processes exhibit a higher concentration of CO2 than flue gases from power plants; consequentially, industrial CO2 sources are used as raw material for the chemical industry and for the synthesis of fuel on the output side. Additionally, fossil resources can be replaced by substitutes of reused CO2 on the input side. If set up in a right way, this step into a CO2-based circular flow economy could make a contribution to the decarbonisation of the industrial sector and according to the adjusted potential, even rudimentarily to the energy sector.
In this study, the authors analyse potential CO2 sources, the potential demand and the range of applications of CO2. In the last chapter of the final report, they give recommendations for research, development, politics and economics for an appropriate future designing of CO2 utilisation options based upon their previous analysis.
