Zusammenfassung englisch

In this data research project, quantitative data from available sources of information relating to two core topics will be researched and compiled in a uniform data format:1. product-related material flows, energy consumption and (direct and indirect) greenhouse gas emissions within the scope of the EU-ETS 1, with a focus on the steel, cement, aluminium, refinery and basic chemicals industries.2. building on this, the further process steps along the value chain up to two selected end products: a) a passenger car and b) plastic packaging. Based on the data from the analysis for the scope of EU-ETS 1 (step 1. as mentioned above), the case studies were developed to determine and quantify the CO₂ emissions and the cost shares caused by these emissions through the EU-ETS 1 along the value chain at the end product level.
