Die Europäische Kommission steht vor der Herausforderung und Chance, den Green Deal umzusetzen und dabei gleichzeitig die Erholung der Wirtschaft infolge der Corona-Krise einzuleiten. Investitionen in die Transformation zur Klimaneutralität der Grundstoffindustrie spielen dabei eine zentrale Rolle, da der Sektor für 16 Prozent des CO2-Ausstoßes der EU verantwortlich und zentral für nachgelagerte Wertschöpfungsketten ...
The European Commission is facing the challenge and opportunity of implementing the Green Deal while simultaneously initiating the recovery of the economy following the coronavirus crisis. Investments in the basic materials industry’s transition to climate neutrality play a central role in this, as the sector is responsible for 16 percent of the EU’s CO2 emissions and is key to downstream value chains. ...
This paper explores which climate-friendly projects could be part of the COVID-19 recovery while jump-starting the transition of the European basic materials industry. Findings from a literature review on technology options in advanced development stages for climate-friendly production and enhanced sorting and recycling of steel, cement, aluminium and plastics are combined with insights from interviews ...
Die Einführung des nationalen Brennstoffemissionshandels birgt nach Einschätzung von DIW-WissenschaftlerInnen kein erhöhtes Risiko eines Carbon Leakage, also der Verlagerung von klimaschädlicher Industrie ins Ausland. Zu diesem Ergebnis kommt eine Studie des Deutschen Instituts für Wirtschaftsforschung (DIW Berlin) und des Münchener ifo Instituts, die im Auftrag des Bundesministeriums ...

After the Paris Climate Agreement, it is anticipated that carbon prices will differ across regions for some time. If countries use free allowance allocation as carbon leakage protection, only a fraction of carbon prices are passed through to consumers particularly by carbon intensive materials producers. Adding a consumption charge based on benchmarks applied to the material content can reinstate the ...
