Circular Economy

Resource-efficient motor vehicles for the circular economy: Instruments and measures to reduce the demand for raw materials in the transportation sector using circular economy principles in parallel with an energy transition in transport - AutoRess

10/25/2022

Within the framework of the project, technical and non-technical options across all vehicle life cycle phases (resource extraction, vehicle design, vehicle production, use and end-of-life) to reduce the impact of transport on climate protection and resource use will be analysed and concretised, and

Securing Germany's Sovereignty - Resilient Supply Chains for the Transformation to Climate Neutrality 2045

10/10/2022

Securing the necessary raw materials and strategic goods is elementary to achieving Germany's target of climate neutrality by 2045. The study pursues two goals. Firstly, it shows where relevant dependencies exist today and until 2045 in the supply of raw materials, components and strategic goods th

CollERS II: International research collaboration on Electric Road Systems

05/01/2021

The overall goal of the project is to continue the collaboration that has developed within the predecessor project CollERS I (2018 - 2019) and to involve further international partners from politics, administration and science beyond Germany and Sweden and to intensify the European dialogue on Elec

Getting the transport sector on track: Scenarios for greenhouse gas neutrality in 2045

01/01/2020

The project focuses on the evaluation of the ecological impact of policy instruments to achieve the goals in the transport sector according to the Climate Protection Act. To this end, politically adopted instruments will be analyzed and evaluated in combination with further developments and with th

Research and dialogue: Strategy for the electrification of road freight transportation

10/01/2019

The pressure to decarbonize road freight transport continues to increase. However, with a few exceptions, this has not yet been reflected in practice in a change in the use of technologies that goes beyond pilot and practical projects. Existing analyses of the electrification of road freight transp

Paths towards electromobility and sustainable corporate mobility

09/01/2019

The project is intended as an overarching research project that scientifically accompanies the transition from the previous isolated and pilot testing of electromobility in companies to the "mainstream" in commercial mobility and accelerates it through the coordinated exchange of experience and tar

Resilient supply chains for the transformation to climate neutrality by 2045

Securing Germany’s Sovereignty - Condensed version

September 2023

The transformation to climate neutrality requires a rapid and decisive investment and modernisation program in Germany and the EU. A resilient supply of the necessary raw materials and strategic goods is an elementary prerequisite for this. In this context, new geopolitical challenges must be taken

The EU Carbon Certification Removal Framework and its methodologies must be improved to deliver on their goals

Blog 12/12/2024

In October 2024, the European Commission presented draft methodologies for the European Union’s Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF). These methodologies set out requirements for the certification of carbon removals and soil emission reductions from various mitigation activities.

The ICVCM approval of three REDD methodologies presents risks to the integrity of the initiative

Blog 12/10/2024

In November 2024, the Governing Board of the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) approved three methodologies for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD). The methodologies are now eligible for issuing “high integrity” carbon credits under the Core Carbon Principles (CCPs) label of the ICVCM. We are concerned with this decision. While the methodologies have been improved compared to previous versions, in our assessment they do not meet the requirements of the ICVCM Assessment Framework. Here we explain why.
