Climate Friendly Materials Platform
Aktuelles Projekt
Übersicht
Grundstoffe wie Aluminium, Zement und Stahl sind für unsere Volkswirtschaften von zentraler Bedeutung, aber ihre Produktion macht etwa 16 Prozent der europäischen und 25 Prozent der globalen Treibhausgasemissionen aus. Daher ist es schwer vorstellbar, wie Europa die Verpflichtungen aus dem Pariser Klimaabkommen ohne nennenswerte Emissionsminderungen in der Grundstoffindustrie erreichen kann.
Während in Sektoren wie Stahl und Zement einige schrittweise Verbesserungen der bestehenden Produktionstechnologien erreicht wurden, hat dies nur zu geringfügigen Emissionsminderungen geführt. Die großen und notwendigen Minderungspotenziale im Zusammenhang mit bahnbrechenden Prozesstechnologien, neuen Materialien, effizienterer Materialnutzung und Recycling blieben bisher weitgehend ungenutzt.
Die Erreichung der Klimaneutralitätsziele erfordert für die Grundstoffsektoren daher einen soliden politischen Rahmen, der ausreichende Anreize schafft, indem er die Wirtschaftlichkeit und Rahmenbedingungen für die wichtigsten "klimafreundlichen" Technologien, Materialien und Praktiken verbessert. Die Dekarbonisierung entlang der Liefer- und Wertschöpfungsketten muss im Zusammenhang mit Ressourceneffizienz, industrieller Symbiose und Kreislaufwirtschaft vorangetrieben werden. Darüber hinaus sollte die Transformation integrativ sein, so dass alle Länder von den für diese Verschiebung erforderlichen kapitalintensiven Investitionen profitieren können.
Um diese Ziele zu erreichen, bedarf es einer gemeinsamen Vision von praktikablen Entwicklungspfaden, die auf den Perspektiven aller für eine erfolgreiche Umsetzung erforderlichen Akteure aufbauen.
Seit Ende 2016 bringt die Climate Friendly Materials Platform politische Entscheidungsträger, Industrievertreter, Praktiker der industriellen Dekarbonisierung und angewandte Forscher zusammen, um ein gemeinsames Verständnis von konkreten politischen Optionen und schließlich gemeinsamen politischen Maßnahmen auf nationaler und EU-Ebene zu entwickeln, mit dem Ziel, den europäischen Grundstoffsektor erfolgreich zu dekarbonisieren.
Diese kollaborative Multi-Stakeholder-Plattform wird von Climate Strategies ausgerichtet und bringt ein breites Spektrum europäischer Universitäten und Institute zusammen: DIW Berlin (Deutschland), IDDRI (Frankreich), IIT-Comillas (Spanien), IVL (Schweden), Radboud University Nijmegen (Niederlande), REKK (Ungarn), Vrije Universiteit Brüssel (Belgien) und WiseEuropa (Polen).

Ziele
In diesem Projekt werden Möglichkeiten für einen wirksamen politischen Rahmen zur Förderung von Innovation und Nutzung kohlenstoffarmer Technologien und Materialien untersucht. Um dies zu erreichen, hat das Projekt folgende Ziele:
- Entwicklung einer gemeinsamen Vision und eines gemeinsamen Rahmens, um über die politischen Anforderungen im Materialsektor nachzudenken welche sich aus der Netto-Klimaneutralität ergeben.
- Vorabanalyse der einzelnen politischen Instrumente und des Governance-Rahmens für deren Umsetzung.
- Unterstützung von Bemühungen in den EU Mitgliedstaaten und auf Brüsseler Ebene auf einige politische Instrumente zu konvergieren, um zu einer gemeinsamen Grundlage für die Umsetzung der Politik beizutragen.
- Kapazitätsaufbau und Entwicklung einer gemeinsamen Wissensbasis über die politischen Optionen für die Dekarbonisierung des Materialsektors

Neuer Bericht vom April 2021: Carbon Contracts for Difference. An assessment of selected socio-economic impacts for Germany
This report offers insights to support key German stakeholders on the implementation of an innovative and promising policy instrument for the decarbonization of the basic materials sectors: project-based Carbon Contracts for Difference (CCfDs).
It analyses selected socio-economic impacts of introducing this policy instrument in Germany. The reports accounts for the perspective of all relevant groups of stakeholders who emerged in the two project workshops and in other engagement activities during the project.
The analysis is structured in two parts. First, an assessment of design options and scale of funding for CCfDs based on case studies for specific materials industries in Germany. Second, a discussion on award mechanisms for CCfDs and potential to combine CCfDs with other instruments, such as the Innovation Fund.

Ein neuer Policy Brief vom Dezember 2020 wurde veröffentlicht:
Last year, the Climate Friendly Materials Platform proposed an innovative policy framework to support the decarbonisation of the basic materials sector in the EU. A new policy brief from the platform focuses on one major component of this package: introducing the climate contribution to compliment the free allocation in the EU Emissions Trading System.
The brief clarifies the concept and explains why it is a viable option to meet the policy objectives of Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism in a way that has major advantages compared to alternative instruments focusing on border measures. Read the full brief here, and attached, written by Aleksander Sneigocki and Kryzsztof Brzeziñski from Wise Europa.
You can also read a summary on the Climate Contributions Policy brief Climate Contribution: a smart policy solution for decarbonising material production and use in the EU here.
November 2020: Policy Briefs von Climate Friendly Materials Platform wurden veröffentlicht:
The first one, titled "A Climate-Neutral Industry: Status of policy debate in European Member States" and written by Mária Bartek-Lesi, Gábor Horváth and Balázs Felsmann from the Regional Centre for Energy Policy Research (REKK Alapítvány), provides a much-needed overview of the current policy landscape in five EU Member States (Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain) by investigating how the path to climate-neutral industrial production is reflected in their key national plans. By highlighting the different policies and measures in place, it provides recommendations on translating carbon-neutral objectives into national policy frameworks. Clear policy strategies are essential to guide corporate decision making and effective policy to achieve decarbonisation of European industry. Read the brief here.
The second brief, titled "Carbon Contracts for Differences: their role in European industrial decarbonisation" and authored by Timo Gerres and Pedro Linares from IIT-Comillas, provides an assessment of Carbon Contracts for Differences (CCFD), one of the elements of the policy package developed by the Climate Friendly Materials Platform in order to help decarbonise European’s industry while preserving its competitiveness. CCfDs are a powerful tool for helping European industry transformation during the first stages of the transition period towards a low emission economy, and the current discussion about a green recovery provides a great opportunity for their quick implementation.

Bericht vom Juni 2020: Investments in climate friendly materials to strengthen the recovery package
Supporting investments in climate friendly production and recycling of materials as part of the European and national Covid-19 recovery packages can both achieve the short term objective of effective recovery spending for boosting the economy and creating jobs as well as deliver climate and long-term economic benefits. In order to realize the full economic and climate benefits of investment support, a rapid implementation of the policy package envisaged in the European Green Deal is required.

Bericht vom Oktober 2019: Building blocks for a climate-neutral European industrial sectorDas ist eine schöne Geschichte.
The science is clear: global warming must be limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius to avoid catastrophic impacts. The Paris Agreement recognises the 1.5C-limit as well. The production of basic materials –cement, iron and steel, paper, aluminium, as well as chemicals and petrochemicals – is one of the main contributors to climate change, accounting for approximately 25% of global CO2 emissions, and around 16% of EU GHG emissions.
