Der Schienenverkehr in Deutschland fährt bereits heute zu einem Großteil elektrisch (~90% der Verkehrsleistung auf ~60% elektrifizierten Strecken). Für eine vollständige Defossilisierung sind jedoch auch für die verbliebenen 10% Fahrleistung Lösungen von Nöten. Aufgrund der lokalen...

Complying with the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate protection will require a substantial decarbonization of the global energy system by the second half of the century. Developing countries and emerging economies already account for more than half of global energy related emissions....

This paper examines individuals' willingness to pay (WTP) to offset their carbon footprint in response to receiving information about (i) the size of their own carbon footprint, and (ii) further receiving in addition information about the difference between their carbon footprint and the target...

Using industrial excess heat for residential heating can increase energy efficiency and thus be part of the solution to achieving the EU's climate targets. However, industrial plants are often located in industrial areas and thus away from residential areas. Therefore, the excess heat has to be...

In socio-technical transitions research, capacities relevant for transformations have primarily been assessed at systemic or niche levels, with capacities of individual actors to engage in transformative activities not yet well-conceptualized. This paper draws on theories of power in...

Die Verbreitung von Elektrofahrzeugen spielt eine wichtige Rolle zur Erreichung der Klimaziele im Verkehrssektor und kann auch zu einer größeren Unabhängigkeit der Energieversorgung beitragen. Die Erforschung ihrer Verbreitung ist daher weiterhin von großer Relevanz. Im Rahmen einer Studie...

Steel is of extraordinary importance for the European economy as well as society, but is responsible for enormous energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, steel flows are an obvious subject for the European climate protection. The quantification of steel stocks and flows is...
