Energy concepts and nature conservation
Although the extent of renewable energies has so far only covered a relatively minor proportion of the total energy requirement in Germany (approx. 14.6% of final energy consumption), in places…
MoreEnergy transition and nature conservation – EWeNat
Society's attitude to the energy transition is characterised by considerable contradictions which are not so easy to reconcile. Leading on from this, the research project looks at the contradictions…
MoreEnergy-efficiency refurbishment and species conservation
In order not to exacerbate the "housing shortage" for birds and bats during building refurbishment, environmental and species protection must be linked together and jointly promoted. This three-year…
MoreFavorable Conservation Status (FCS) Programmes for wind energy-sensitive birds
The project aims to present suitable FCS measures and provide concrete advice for implementation in practice. This is in line with the nationwide principle of nature-friendly expansion of renewable…
MoreFish conservation and hydropower
This project develops a research concept for the production and evaluation of fish protection and fish bypass facilities at hydropower sites at Eddersheim/Main and Griesheim. The effectiveness of…
MoreFloating PV – An investigation concept for the nature conservation impacts
PV systems on artificial and heavily modified water bodies also serve to implement the EEG (§ 36 WHG). The first systems have gone into operation on artificial stillwaters, although the nature…
MoreInPositiv
Climate protection and nature conservation cannot be separated: The predicted climate developments will foreseeably lead to changes in landscapes and a considerable extinction of species. Renewable…
MoreLandscape and power grids
The conversion of our energy systems involves new requirements for power distribution. When planning the expansion of the grid it is necessary to record and evaluate the negative effects on the…
MoreLandscape, protected areas and renewables
The research project investigates the management potential for site protection with particular emphasis on protected landscape areas. Particular attention was given to the scope for controlling the…
MoreNational natural landscapes and renewable energies
The project examined the question of what could constitute an ecologically sustainable energy transition in nature parks and biosphere reserves. Nature parks and biosphere reserves, as components of…
