    Klimaschutz im deutschen Kraftwerkspark
    (2016) Burger, Andreas; Gibis, Claudia; Hain, Benno; Klaus, Thomas; Burger, Andreas; Kühleis, Christoph; Kuhnhenn, Kai; Lünenbürger, Benjamin; Pfeiffer, David; Weiß, Jan; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
    Deutschland sollte seine Treibhausgasemissionen bis zum Jahr 2050 um 95 Prozent mindern und damit treibhausgasneutral werden. Dafür müssten die Emissionen in allen Sektoren gesenkt werden. Große Bedeutung hat dabei die Energiewirtschaft, da sie gegenwärtig den größten Anteil an den deutschen Gesamtemissionen hat. Der weitaus größte Teil der Emissionen in diesem Sektor entsteht bei der Stromerzeugung. Das vorliegende Papier enthält Einschätzungen und Vorschläge zu sinnvollen Minderungskorridoren für die Energiewirtschaft und insbesondere für die Stromerzeugung aus Braun- und Steinkohle. Dazu werden zentrale Empfehlungen für die deutsche Klimaschutzpolitik formuliert.Quelle: http://www.umweltbundesamt.de

    Raising the EU 2030 GHG emission reduction target
    (Umweltbundesamt, 2020) Burger, Andreas; Gibis, Claudia; Knoche, Guido; Lünenbürger, Benjamin; Weiß, Jan
    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. This paper intends to enrich ongoing debates on the “how” the EU could commit to a 2030 mitigation objective, with the highest ambition possible as committed to the Paris Agreement.English-language paper with German-language summary: Ausgestaltung des Europäischen Klimaschutzziels 2030 - Handlungsbedarf und Möglichkeiten zur praktischen Umsetzung in den ETS- und Nicht-ETS-Sektoren

    Setting an ambitious EU climate target for the year 2040
    (Umweltbundesamt, 2023) Lanz, René; Gibis, Claudia; Purr, Katja; Weiß, Jan; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
    The European Climate Law (ECL) mandates the European Commission to propose an emission reduction target for 2040 within six months following the first global stocktake referred to in the Paris Agreement, i.e. by May 2024. The ECL obliges the European Commission to take into account the latest and best scientific findings and to take the recommendations by the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change (Advisory Board) as a point of reference for setting the 2040 climate target. This recommendation was published in the Advisory Board's comprehensive report, published in June 2023, and advises a net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction by 90-95% for the EU by 2040, relative to 1990, corresponding to a 2030-2050 budget of 11-14 Gt CO2eq. The report provides extensive reasoning and scientific evidence how this target range was derived. The German Environment Agency (UBA) welcomes the timely publication of this report and urges the European Commission and European policy makers to follow scientific advice, aim for the most plausible climate ambition and set an intermediate domestic 2040 net GHG emission reduction target of 95%, compared to 1990. However, a discussion that focuses only on the final figure of the 2040 target would not adequately address the intricate nature of GHG reductions and the essential prerequisites for successfully achieving the target. Therefore, the proposal for the 2040 climate target needs to be supplemented with additional information by the European Commission, allowing politics and stakeholders to evaluate the ambition of different target options, to provide clear guidance on the architecture of the target, in particular regarding the relation of emission reductions and carbon sinks, and to address the burden sharing between sectors and member states. Moreover the 2040 target should not be understood as a single-year target only, but rather as a process of continuous ratcheting up of climate ambition with regular reviews and updates.
