  Supporting research on the use of battery-powered heavy-duty vehicles in day-to-day logistics operations - ELV-Live

  01/01/2023

  In the ELV-Live project, the regular use of battery electric heavy-duty vehicles (BET) is being researched in practice. In view of significantly changed regulatory and technological framework conditions, such as climate protection legislation and targets, fleet limits for heavy trucks and advance

  Innovative communities - ZUGG: Shaping the future in rural areas together - developing Perleberg and Wittenberge as places of the future between the metropolises of Berlin and Hamburg - using land potential creatively and rethinking mobility

  07/01/2021

  The aim of this project is to investigate the contribution that local empowerment can make to sustainable urban development processes in peripheral small towns, taking the small towns of Wittenberge and Perleberg as examples. Within the framework of the project, participatory processes are to b

  CCQI scores for IFM projects point to substantial integrity risks

  Blog 03/25/2024

  The Carbon Credit Quality Initiative (CCQI) has released new scores for the integrity risks of carbon credits from improved forest management (IFM) projects. We find that unrealistic baselines and underestimated leakage are likely to lead to significant overestimation of emission reductions or removals under all assessed methodologies. The likelihood of additionality depends strongly on the forest management practices that are implemented. The sustainable development benefits are more limited compared to most other project types.

  Alternative reactor concepts do not solve the repository problem

  Press releases 03/21/2024

  A new scientific study commissioned by the Federal Office for the Safety of Nuclear Waste Management (BASE) indicates that the market launch of alternative reactor concepts (also known as "Generation IV") is currently not on the horizon. "Despite some intensive advertising by manufacturers, we currently see no development that would make the construction of alternative reactor types on a large scale likely in the coming years. On the contrary: "From a safety perspective, we should expect the potential advantages of these reactor concepts to be outweighed by the disadvantages and the questions that remain unresolved," says BASE President Christian Kühn, and emphasises that "The concepts solve neither the need to find a repository for radioactive waste nor the pressing issues of climate protection."
