  Scientific support to climate policy and climate action programme

  11/01/2022

  Next to the German legislative framework of the Climate Change Act trends in energy policy at European Union level are highly relevant for developments in Germany. The European Green Deal and its inherent aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the EU by at least 55% by 2030 as compared to 1990

  joint-project: EmPowerPlan - regional planning of the energy transition - participation and justice on site and the big picture in mind; single-project: Power - big pictures and participation

  08/01/2022

  The overall “EmPowerPlan” project is about testing and adapting tools and collaborative processes to accelerate the expansion of the energy infrastructure. To this end, it is necessary to support regional planning – in a manner as participatory as possible - so that areas are released for the exp

  GHG Projections: Further development of the methodologies and implementation of the European Governance Regulation and the Federal Climate Change Act in the 2023 Projection Report ("Policy Scenarios XI")

  07/01/2022

  Within the framework of the international and European climate protection regime, projections for greenhouse gas emissions must be submitted every two years by the participating countries or member states, which comply with a specified reporting format. The aim of the project is to support the Ge

  Evaluation of cogeneration 2021–2025

  11/01/2021

  In this project, the German Ministry for Economic Affairs (BMWK) is advised on all aspects of cogeneration. A special focus of Oeko-Institut's work in this project is to investigate the development of combined heat and power in Germany and to assess the associated effects on energy and greenhouse

  Climate protection scenarios 2050: modelling, analysis and comparison of target scenarios

  04/01/2021

  The German greenhouse gas mitigation targets are laid down in the Federal Climate Change Act (as of August 2021) which was amended in June 2021. In the amended Act, the German greenhouse gas mititgation target is increased from minus 55% to minus 65% for the year 2030 as compared to 1990. By 2040

  Transformation to a completely greenhouse gas neutral Germany

  12/08/2020

  The goal is a completely greenhouse gas neutral Germany. Therefore, this project determines from a scientific perspective what paths are necessary to achieve the climate protection goals and what measures need to be underpinned from a political perspective in order to implement these transformati

  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.
