Expert advice to the district of Emsland on the results of the interim report on sub-areas, on the current status of the site selection procedure and on the method of excluding areas within the representative preliminary safety analyses in the site selection procedure for a repository

08/01/2024

In an initial expert consulting project for the district of Emsland, the Oeko-Institut primarily examined the plausibility of the BGE's assessment of the Wahn, Lathen and Börger salt domes and then supported the district in preparing a statement for the project developer and in formulating an appli

08/01/2024

Various climate scenarios show that varying amounts of unavoidable residual emissions could remain in 2045. In order to still achieve greenhouse gas neutrality, technical CO₂ sinks should be used in addition to natural sinks to offset these emissions. Only limited geological storage space is curren

Concepts of Regional Development in Major Projects: National and International Comparisons – Lessons for the Site Selection Process (KoRegio)

07/01/2024

The site selection process aims to find a repository site in Germany for high-level radioactive waste that ensures the highest possible safety for at least one million years. The Site Selection Act (StandAG) governs the procedural steps for a scientifically based, participatory, and transparent s

Study on the evaluation system for the specific properties of the host rocks and configurations considered, with a view to repository safety

02/01/2024

The regulations on which the site selection procedure for a repository for high-level radioactive waste in Germany is based describe the search process for the selection of the site with the best possible safety and the criteria to be used as a basis for safety-oriented consideration. It does not

Securing the Underground - Managing the Risks of Carbon Storage through Effective Policy Design

12/01/2023

This study examines the environmental and technological risks of geological storage of carbon dioxide, focusing on offshore sites. Reducing emissions remains the top priority to address the climate crisis, but carbon storage is increasingly seen as necessary to offset remaining greenhouse gas emi

Final disposal of high-level and low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste at a same site Interactions, derived consequences and possible countermeasures

08/31/2023

The possibility of final disposal of high-level and low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste at a common site is considered in the Site Selection Act (StandAG) as well as in the National Waste Management Programme (NaPro) and in the Final Disposal Safety Requirements Ordinance (EndlSiUntV). A
