The Revision of the European Union Emissions Trading System Directive: Assessing Cap and Market Stability Reserve Reform Options
Study for the Air Pollution and Climate Secretariat (AirClim) and the Life ETX Consortium
The modelling exercises show that an isolated analysis of a few reform options for the cap and for the MSR can easily lead to less robust results in view of the different uncertainties. The integrated analysis of the largest possible…
Good Practices in GHG Inventories for the Waste Sector
This study supports the preparation of greenhouse gas inventories in the waste sector through good practice examples which can be adopted in other countries. It complements the existing reporting guidance under the UNFCCC with real life…
Raising the climate policy ambition of the European Union
Reforming the EU Emissions Trading System
The report “Raising the Climate Policy Ambition of the European Union. Reforming the EU Emissions Trading System” analyses the impacts of the different options for the revised ETS and market stability reserve (MSR), based around the…
Impact Assessment on the Environmental, Social and Economic Effects of the 2030 Sectoral Targets in the Federal Government’s Climate Action Plan 2050
Summary
The analyses highlighted three main issues:
- The targets set for the various sectors can be achieved by means of a range of different strategies.
- From a macroeconomic perspective, all implementation strategies covered by the study are…
EU Environment and Climate Change Policies
State of play, current and future challenges
This study reviews the state of play of on environmental and climate legislation in the EU and pinpoints key challenges for the next five years. Part 1 of this study summarizes the status of EU legislation, major EU targets and…
IMO’s challenges on the route to decarbonising international shipping Key Issues at Stake at the 72nd Session of the IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 72)
Despite efficiency improvements, CO2 emissions from international shipping are projected to be two to five times higher in 2050 than in 1990. At the Paris climate conference, countries agreed to limit climate change to well below 2°C.…
Decentralization, regionalization and power lines
Metastudy about assumptions, insights and narratives for the Renewables Grid Initiative (RGI)
Oeko-Institut metastudy commissioned by the Renewables Grid Initiative compares current studies looking at decentralised electricity systems and grid expansion: consequences and side effects of decentralised generation are often not…
The Vision Scenario for the European Union
2017 Update for the EU-28
Global climate change, finite fossil and nuclear resources and the vulnerability of economies and consumers to increasing and volatile prices of fossil energies are the challenges which will determine energy and climate policies for the…
Germany's Electric Future
Coal phase-out 2035
The planet has a limit and it shows us this forcefully. With record temperatures, melting poles, acidified seas. With dying species. Not least of all, humans are affected: every year the emissions of coal-fired power plants in Germany…
Renewables versus fossil fuels – comparing the costs of electricity systems
Electricity system designs for 2050 – An analysis of renewable and conventional power systems in Germany
The study considers four different scenarios for the power system in 2050: two scenarios based on fossil fuels (one on coal, and one on natural gas), and two scenarios for renewables-based systems that differ in their deployment of…
Key Issues at Stake at the 71st Session of the IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 71)
Despite efficiency improvements, CO2 emissions from international shipping are projected to be two to five times higher in 2050 than in 1990. At the Paris climate conference, countries agreed to limit climate change to well below 2°C.…

2017 Update for the EU-28
The global framework and a CO2 emission budget for the EU as starting points
Global climate change, finite fossil and nuclear resources and the vulnerability of economies and consumers to increasing and volatile prices of fossil…
Zukunft Stromsystem
Kohleaustieg 2035 - Vom Ziel her denken
Der deutsche Stromsektor ist sowohl energie- als auch klimaschutzpolitisch von herausragender Bedeutung. Der Anteil der Stromsektoremissionen an den gesamten Treibhausgasemissionen (unter Berücksichtigung der Nicht-CO2-Treibhausgase…
Climate Protection Scenario 2050
Summary of second final report
The results of the first round of modelling were published in August 2014. The results of the second round of modelling are now available and are provided in this report. Three scenarios were created for the time frame up to 2050. The…
