Environmental assessment of grid expansion in Germany
The expansion of the German extra-high-voltage grid is a crucial building block of the energy transition—and it is taking place now. Nationwide, planning, permits and construction work are running in parallel. A significant part of the new lines is already in operation, and further sections are under construction or are about to be approved. In total, […]
Converting Waste Streams Into Resources: Circular Solutions for a Changing Europe
Europe stands at a critical turning point: waste is no longer an unavoidable by-product—it is a resource stream waiting to be unlocked. With the EU generating more than 2.2 billion tons of waste annually, and recycling rates stagnating at around 49%, the shift from a linear to a circular model is now an economic, environmental, […]
Cold local heating network with geothermal energy for the new residential quarter in Gronau (Leine)
Development of sustainable district energy: Cold local heating network for Gronau (Leine)
The development of climate-neutral residential districts requires engineering solutions that go beyond conventional supply concepts. While cities and municipalities are looking for cost-efficient, low-emission energy solutions, cold local heating networks are becoming increasingly important as a central component of sustainable urban planning.
The state of municipal heat planning in Germany: Progress, Challenges and Outlook
Introduction: Germany’s path to climate neutrality is gaining momentum – and municipal heat planning has become one of the crucial elements for a sustainable energy future. Since January 1, 2024, the Heat Planning Act has required every municipality to develop its own heat plan. This process not only lays the foundation for a decarbonized heat […]
Environmental effects of plant protection products: Entry pathways, risks and protection strategies
Plant protection products (PPPs) have been a key tool in agricultural production for many decades. They protect plants from diseases, pests and unwanted competing vegetation. At the same time, they are released directly into the environment in large quantities. This makes an expert assessment of their effect on soil, surface water and groundwater indispensable. Prof. […]
