The transition process towards renewable energy systems is facing challenges in both fluctuating electricity generation of photovoltaic and wind power as well as socio-economic disruptions. With regard to sector integration, solutions need to be developed, especially for the mobility and the industry sector, because their ad hoc electrification and decarbonization seem to be unfeasible. Power-to-fuel (P2F) technologies may contribute to bridge the gap, as renewable energy can be transferred into hydrogen and hydrocarbon-based synthetic fuels. However, the renewable fuels production is far from economically competitive with conventional fuels. With a newly developed agent-based model, potential developments in the German energy markets were simulated for a horizon of 20 years from 2016 to 2035. The model was constructed through a participatory modeling process with relevant actors and stakeholders in the field. Model findings suggest that adjusted regulatory framework conditions (e.g., exemptions from electricity surtaxes, accurate prices for CO2-certificates, strong start-up subsidies, and drastic emission reduction quotas) are key factors for economically feasible P2F installations and will contribute to its large-scale integration into the German energy system. While plant capacities do not exceed 0.042 GW in a business-as-usual scenarios, the above-mentioned adjustments lead to plant capacities of at least 3.25 GW in 2035 with concurrent reduction in product prices.

The German Energiewende is facing new challenges with increasing shares of fluctuating renewable energies. Slow electricity grid extensions, restrictions in public perception as well as limited transformation progress in other sectors beside electricity cause major drawbacks in greenhouse gas mitigation. Power-to-X (PtX) technologies may be the missing link for a more resilient energy transition and provide both, renewable substitutes for fossil fuels as well as electricity grid balancing services owing to flexible operation and long-term storage abilities. Different PtX concepts proved operability in several worldwide distributed pilot projects. However, little is known yet about potential technical, monetary, societal and resource related scale-up limitations. In this paper, implications of these aspects for a large-scale energy system implementation are shown. From a technical perspective the concept of long-term flexible PtX operation modes is generally feasible and could become key for a more resilient future energy supply. However, economics are still the bottleneck for an extensive diffusion: in two scenarios for 2050 PtX may cause additional national annual energy costs between approx. 10 and 100 billion euros compared to an ongoing fossil fuel supply at current price conditions. Nevertheless, such expenses can be considered as reasonable in contrast to expenses for the compensation of climate change consequences of a future fossil fuel-based energy system.

Global climate change affects marine fish through drivers such as ocean warming, acidification and oxygen depletion, causing changes in marine ecosystems and socioeconomic impacts. While experimental and observational results can inform about anticipated effects of different drivers, linking between these results and ecosystem-level changes requires quantitative integration of physiological and ecological processes into models to advance research and inform management. We give an overview of important physiological and ecological processes affected by environmental drivers. We then provide a review of available modelling approaches for marine fish, analysing their capacities for process-based integration of environmental drivers. Building on this, we propose approaches to advance important research questions. Examples of integration of environmental drivers exist for each model class. Recent extensions of modelling frameworks increase the potential for including detailed mechanisms and improving model projections. Experimental results on energy allocation, behaviour and physiological limitations will advance the understanding of organism-level trade-offs and thresholds in response to multiple drivers. More explicit representation of life cycles and biological traits can improve description of population dynamics and adaptation, and data on food web topology and feeding interactions help to detail the conditions for possible regime shifts. Identification of relevant processes will also benefit the coupling of different models to investigate spatial–temporal changes in stock productivity and integrated responses of social–ecological systems. Thus, a more process-informed foundation for models will promote the integration of experimental and observational results and increase the potential for model-based extrapolations into a future under changing environmental conditions

Dieser Beitrag zielt auf die Forschung für Nachhaltigkeit im Verbund verschiedener akademischer Akteure, als Ergänzung zu Forschungsaktivitäten innerhalb einer Institution. Als praxisnahes und aktuelles Beispiel wird hier das Deutsche Netzwerk Industrial Ecology herangezogen und anhand seiner Besonderheiten in der Forschung für Nachhaltigkeit näher beleuchtet. Das Deutsche Netzwerk Industrial Ecology ist ein Gemeinschaftsvorhaben, initiiert von der Universität Bremen und der Vereinigung für ökologische Wirtschaftsforschung (VÖW), Berlin, mit Unterstützung der Hochschule München. Mehr als 20 führende Akteure zur Industrial Ecology in Deutschland sind als Forschungsinstitutionen eingebunden. Den gemeinsamen thematischen Kern bildet das einzelne Disziplinen verbindende Forschungs- und Handlungsfeld der Industrial Ecology. Gerade der Disziplinen übergreifende und verbindende Charakter der Industrial Ecology hat die Netzwerkbildung forschungsaktiver Hochschulen in einem Akteursverbund und einer einzelne Hochschulen verbindenden Weise begünstigt. Die thematischen Schwerpunkte im Netzwerk konzentrieren sich auf die Bereiche: Wissenschaft und Forschung, Management und Transfer in die Praxis, Lehre und Bildung sowie industrielle Anwendungen, von der Produktentwicklung und Prozessgestaltung über betriebliche und überbetriebliche Aspekten wie z. B. lokale Kreislaufwirtschaft, regionales Stoffstrommanagement, Industriesymbiosen, bis hin zu branchenbezogenen, nationalen und internationalen Themen des Metabolismus und der Mensch-Natur-Beziehungen, so wie sie für die Industrial Ecology charakteristisch sind. Diese hohe Anschlussfähigkeit begünstigt den Zusammenschluss in einem hochschulübergreifenden, einzelne Akteure und Institutionen verbindenden Verbund.

Metal mobilization in general, as well as the number of metals used in products to increase performance and provide sometimes unique functionalities, has increased steadily in the past decades. Materials, such as indium, gallium, platinum group metals (PGM), and rare earths (RE), are used ever more frequently in high-tech applications and their criticality as a function of economic importance and supply risks has been highlighted in various studies. Nevertheless, recycling rates are often below one percent. Against this background, secondary flows of critical metals from three different end-of-life products up to 2020 are modeled and losses along the products’ end-of-life (EOL) chain are identified. Two established applications of PGM and RE–industrial catalysts and thermal barrier coatings–and CIGS photovoltaic cells as a relatively new product have been analyzed. In addition to a quantification of future EOL flows, the analysis showed that a relatively well working recycling system exists for PGM-bearing catalysts, while a complete loss of critical metals occurs for the other applications. The reasons include a lack of economic incentives, technologically caused material dissipation and other technological challenges.

In this article, we present methodology and results of a vulnerability assessment of the energy system of the metropolitan region Bremen‐Oldenburg in Northwest Germany. This work is part of the regional climate adaptation project “nordwest2050” aiming at innovative solutions toward a climate‐proof and resilient region. Methodologically, we extended the established vulnerability assessment based on climate change impacts by a structural analysis, highlighting general weaknesses of the metropolitan energy system. Our findings indicate that the structural vulnerabilities of the energy system around Bremen‐Oldenburg pose a greater threat to maintaining the system's services than climate change itself. Climate‐change–based vulnerabilities, however, aggravate many of the structural vulnerabilities and therefore demand attention in their own right. The structural vulnerabilities mainly originate from political and regulatory uncertainties, turbulent market conditions, conflicts along the supply chains, and the current dynamics in the energy sector induced by increased climate mitigation efforts. One of our main conclusions is thus that the metropolitan energy system's capabilities to handle turbulence, perturbations, and surprises must be improved. This will also help in reducing the climate‐change vulnerabilities, because such a system is better equipped when facing currently hard‐to‐predict changes in climate parameters. The results of the assessment described here will be used as the starting point to find options for innovations toward a climate‐proof and resilient energy system for the region in the course of the remaining project.

This study deals with dissipative losses of critical materials between the life-cycle stages of manufacturing and end-of-life. Following the EU definition for critical materials, a screening of dissipative losses for the respective materials has been performed based on existing data and the most significant data gaps have been identified. Furthermore, a classification scheme for dissipative losses (dissipation into environment, dissipation into other material flows, dissipation to landfills) and for assessing their degree has been developed and a first qualitative assessment applying this classification scheme has been performed. In combination with existing criticality assessments, the results can be used to generate a map of metals indicating future research needs for analyzing metal dissipation in detail. The results include quantitative estimates of dissipative losses (where feasible) along the chosen life-cycle stages, and discuss research needs for analysis and avoidance of dissipative losses for improved resource efficiency.

The ambitious targets for renewable energies in Germany indicate that the steady growth of installed capacity of the past years will continue for the coming decades. This development is connected with significant material flows—primary material demand as well as secondary material flows. These flows have been analyzed for Germany up to the year 2050 using a statistical model for the turbines’ discard patterns. The analysis encompasses the flows of bulk metals, plastics, and rare earths (required for permanent magnets in gearless converters). Different expansion scenarios for wind energy are considered as well as different turbine technologies, future development of hub height and rotor diameter, and an enhanced deployment of converters located offshore. In addition to the direct material use, the total material requirement has been calculated using the material input per service unit (MIPS) concept. The analysis shows that the demand for iron, steel, and aluminum will not exceed around 6% of the current domestic consumption. The situation for rare earths appears to be different with a maximum annual neodymium demand for wind energy converters corresponding to about a quarter of the overall 2010 consumption. It has been shown that by efficiently utilizing secondary material flows a net material demand reduction of up to two thirds by 2050 seems possible, (i.e., if secondary material flows are fully used to substitute primary material demand).

Die Analysen von Stoff- und Energieströmen sind oft die Grundlage für die Erhöhung der Ressourceneffizienz. Durch Abbilden und Analysieren der Materialströme werden nicht optimal genutzte Ströme aufgezeigt und Optimierungsmaßnahmen können entwickelt werden, um die Ressourceneffizienz zu erhöhen. Materialstromeffizienz und Energieeffizienz liegen sehr nah beieinander, daher ist es sinnvoll diese zusammen zu betrachten. In Nordwestdeutschland haben sich in 2012 Experten auf den Gebieten der Stoff- und Energieströme in einer Arbeitsgruppe zusammen getan um ihre Expertise zu bündeln und gemeinsame Aktivitäten zu koordinieren. Die Kompetenzen reichen von ökobilanzieller Betrachtung, abfallwirtschaftlicher Fragestellung, Produktionstechnik sowie die Entwicklung und Anwendung Stoffstrom- und Energiestrombasierter Software. Die beteiligten Institutionen verfügen über langjährige Projekterfahrung auf dem Gebiet und tauschen sich regelmäßig aus. Die Arbeitsgruppe zielt vor allem darauf ab, dass durch die Kompetenzbündelung Projektideen im größeren Maßstab umgesetzt werden können. Weiterhin stellt der Arbeitskreis eine zentrale Anlaufstelle für alle Fragen rund um die Themen Nachhaltigkeit im Unternehmen, Ressourceneffizienz und ökologische Bewertung von Produkten und Prozessen dar.

Analysis and minimization of resource consumption is an essential aspect of sustainability. Engineers in this field need to be equipped with concepts and methodologies for assessment and sustainable design of products and processes. Thermodynamics offers these concepts and methodologies. In the current debate on material flows, the throughput of matter and energy is the primary focus. Consumption, however, starts when material and energy is transformed and loses its potential to be useful in further products or processes. On the physical level, this loss of potential utility is well described by entropy production or exergy destruction, two related concepts from thermodynamics. Using these concepts, methodologies for analyzing resource consumption were constructed and have been successfully applied to a large number of processes, products, and services. Here, a very brief introduction to thermodynamics is given to enable the interested reader to understand the underlying concepts and help in the application of thermodynamics to analyze resource consumption. Established measures for resource consumption can be grouped into those approaches which are based on the first law of thermodynamics (the conservation of energy and matter) and those approaches which are based on the second law of thermodynamics (entropy production and the devaluation of energy and matter). A brief summary of the currently used approaches is given and how they relate to the thermodynamic interpretation of resource consumption. Exergy and entropy analysis are introduced as analytical tools and also briefly explained, with recommendations for further self-study to get more familiar with the methodologies. An example, copper making from sulfidic ore concentrates is presented as a case study for the application of entropy analysis, and the results are compared to results from other (exergy) analyses. Finally, an interpretation of entropy production in the context of ecological sustainability and finite resources is offered, based on the finite entropy disposal rate of the earth, which enables the reader to evaluate the meaning of the presented results.

Die Industrial Ecology (IE) Gemeinschaft öffnet sich in zunehmenden Maße der Thematik des nachhaltigen Konsums (siehe Spezialausgabe des Journal of Industrial Ecology zu Nachhaltigem Konsum, Jg. 9 (1-2), und die entsprechenden Tracks auf den IE Konferenzen). Parallel dazu öffnen sich sozialwissenschaftliche Forschungen zu nachhaltigem Konsum, die den Konsumenten als Akteur im Fokus haben, Fragen nach der Einbindung des Konsums in sogenannte Versorgungssysteme (systems of provision). Beide Perspektivenerweiterungen eröffnen interessante Anknüpfungspunkte in den beiden bisher getrennt verlaufenen Forschungsansätzen. Die IE beschäftigt sich traditionellerweise einerseits mit Produktsystemen (besonders im Rahmen von Ökobilanzen (LCA)), andererseits mit nationalen Volkswirtschaften oder Regionen (insbesondere im Rahmen der Materialflussanalyse (MFA)), oder mit industriellen Netzwerken (im Rahmen des Ansatzes der Industriellen Symbiose (IS)) und erst in neueren Studien auch mit Bedürfnisfeldern und (nachhaltigem) Konsum. Dabei stehen in der Regel quantifizierende Methoden im Vordergrund, mit denen die stoffliche Basis der heutigen Formen von Produktion und Konsum untersucht wird. Neuerdings finden auch Untersuchungen Beachtung, die auf die Verknüpftheit und Komplexität der untersuchten Systeme fokussieren (siehe Spezialausgabe des Journal of Industrial Ecology zu Komplexen Systemen). Individuelle Verhaltensweisen, praktische Lebensführung und zumeist auch Konsumstile blieben bisher eher unterbelichtet. Der systemische und bisher auf Stoff- und Energieströmen fokussierte Ansatz der IE bietet jedoch einige Anknüpfungspunkte zu den sozialwissenschaftlichen Debatten über Systems of Provision (SOP) Ansatz.

Wind energy is supposed to provide the world with “clean” energy, reducing the emission of anthropogenic greenhouse gases and other environmental impacts. While the energy produced in the use phase of wind energy converters (WEC) is as good as carbon neutral there are environmental impacts coming from production, transport and disposal of the WEC. Here the question about the WEC's energy and CO2 balance comes up. For different converters, indicators like the CO2e emissions per kWh (i.e. the carbon footprint), the energetic payback time and the harvest factor can be found in the literature. Since the underlying assumptions, boundary conditions, etc. will –in most cases- differ from each other, the results have only very limited comparability and allow drawing only general conclusions. Key indicators like the mentioned CO2e emissions per kWh, the energetic payback time, etc. will vary for each of the assessed converters individually, depending on the respective site. Factors like length of access roads and grid connection, size and depths of foundation, or wind conditions have an influence on the LCA results. Here, an assessment of a 2.3 MW wind energy converter at different sites will be presented, demonstrating which site specific factors are negligible and which are crucial for the environmental performance. Each aspect will be varied ceteris paribus showing the impact of every parameter individually
