Untersuchung zur Ausgestaltung der Biokraftstoffgesetzgebung - BKSQuote
Untersuchungen zur Ausgestaltung der Biokraftstoffgesetzgebung in Deutschland - Arbeitspapier (in German)

In the BKSQuote project it was investigated which biofuel options would prevail in Germany at optimal cost until 2030 under the conditions of RED II (Renewable Energy Directive II) or if the climate protection targets of 40% greenhouse gas savings in transport compared to 1990 were met. The project was financed by the BMEL, with UFZ as subcontractor to DBFZ.

The BENOPT model was used in the project.

EE-Monitor - Monitoring for a nature-friendly energy transition

The EE-Monitor ("Renewable Energy Monitor") provides a scientifically sound basis for the social debate on the nature-compatible expansion of renewable energies in Germany. The EE-Monitor supports the identification of both undesirable developments and positive trends in the nature-friendly expansion of renewable energies.

InPositiv - How renewable energies can have a positive effect on nature and biodiversity.

Renewable energies are a key technology for climate protection. But what does this mean in concrete terms for nature and the landscape - beyond known negative consequences? The research project InPositiv addresses this question and looks specifically at positive effects of renewables. InPositiv is a project of nature conservation associations, universities and specialist offices and is aimed at everyone who asks how an energy transition that is compatible with nature can succeed.
