BioClim – European Conferences on Biodiversity and Climate Change

Are there natural techniques for ameliorating climate change and its effects? How does climate change impact on species' diversity? These questions are being addressed by two large scientific…

BiogasNatur

Based on a study of specific areas in several sample regions, the technical and economic options for an environmentally compatible utilisation of biogas from a nature conservation angle were assessed…

Decarbonising heat and nature conservation: paths to a nature- and climate-compatible heating sector

The heating sector in Germany is to be decarbonised during the coming decades and is thus facing major changes: There is no longer any perspective for natural gas and heating oil, which are still the…

Progressive biofuels

The EU is targeting future funding at biofuels from raw materials, which are expected to have fewer negative effects on land use than conventional biofuels e.g. from rape, cereals or palm oil. The…

Renewable energy: Regional Simulation Game

The project will evaluate at the regional level the assessment methodology and results of the previous project "Expansion scenarios for renewable energies from a nature conservation viewpoint", in…
