In 2022, process heat was responsible for about two-thirds of industrial greenhouse gas emissions. Any transformation toward a climate-friendly industry also requires a successful heat transition by converting process heat to CO2-neutral energy sources. At present, this is only taking place in...

Die Bereitstellung von Prozesswärme war im Jahr 2022 für etwa zwei Drittel der Treibhausgasemissionen des Industriesektors verantwortlich. Eine Transformation hin zur klimafreundlichen Industrie verlangt, dass die Wärmewende auch hier gelingt, indem die Prozesswärme auf CO2-neutrale...

Paper production is an energy-intensive process and accounted for about 9% of industrial energy demand in Germany in 2008. There have only been slow improvements in energy efficiency in the paper industry over the past twenty years. Policies can accelerate the progress made, but knowledge about...

The goal of this paper is to review bottom-up models for industrial energy demand with a particular focus on their capability to model barriers to the adoption of energy-efficient technologies. The integration of barriers into the models is an important prerequisite for a more detailed and...

Was ist Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS) und kann die Methode ein Gamechanger in der Klimapolitik werden? Diese und weitere Fragen beantworten wir in diesem Policy Brief .
