  • Why Renewable Fuels should be Considered in the CO2 Standards of New Cars, Vans and Trucks

    Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH

    Within the European Union’s Green Deal, the climate protection strategy for the transport sector is under review in 2021.This paper assesses that the current regulatory scheme of fleet target values is not suitable to reach the new climate goals – regardless of its ambition level. In order to reach the EU Green Deals’ goals, new regulatory options are inevitable.

    Within the European Union’s Green Deal, the climate protection strategy for the transport sector is under review in 2021.This paper assesses that the current regulatory scheme of fleet target values is not suitable to reach the new climate goals – regardless of its ambition level. In order to reach the EU Green Deals’ goals, new regulatory options are inevitable. We focus on one of those possible new options, a crediting system for renewable fuels and describe it´s general mode of operation, it´s advantages and possible challenges. Building on previous research, we establish that the cost of CO2 mitigation can be significantly lowered if renewable fuels were allowed to play an additional role in the regulation and that the overall climate protection contribution of the transport sector could be improved. We also touch on secondary effects like cost–benefit for other sectors or the societal advantage that individual mobility would not have to be curbed unnecessarily in the name of climate protection. We end with a recommendation of which political actions would have to be taken in order to stimulate the market to invest in the innovative technology of renewable fuels.

  • Configuration Model and Case Study for the Assessment of Business Models in the Deployment of Power-to-Gas Technology

    My dissertation at the university of St. Gallen. I have developed a configuration model to analyse different business models of the Power-to-Gas technology under various conditions. More than 100,000 scenarios can be calculated by this model. In practice, I have checked the configuration model with a case study at an existing e-gas plant. Different political conclusions are drawn of how to develop first attractive target markets for this important technology in future.
