ForschungsVerbund Erneuerbare Energien publishes new conference proceedings on the energy transition

The ForschungsVerbund Erneuerbare Energien (FVEE) is today publishing its latest conference volume entitled "Research for the energy transition - shaping the energy system". The presentations collected here from the last annual conference present current research results and instruments for a successful energy transition.

The spectrum of contributions ranges from scenarios for the transformation of the energy system to the importance of sector coupling, grids and storage systems to the specific roles of the various renewable technologies such as photovoltaics, wind energy and bioenergy in a sustainable energy system.

The conference proceedings "Research for the Energy Transition - Shaping the Energy System" are available to all interested parties on the internet and can also be ordered there as a printed booklet free of charge.

About the Research Association for Renewable Energies
The Renewable Energies Research Alliance is a nationwide cooperation of research institutions. The members research and develop technologies for renewable energies, energy efficiency, energy storage and the optimised technical and socio-economic interaction of all system components. The common goal is to transform the energy supply into a sustainable energy system.

German Association of Cities publishes concept for new funding system for municipal climate protection

German Association of Cities publishes concept for new funding system for municipal climate protection

The cities propose to strengthen and accelerate local climate protection through a new financial support system. The German Association of Cities today published a concept and a publication on its website. The Chief Executive of the German Association of Cities, Helmut Dedy, told the Deutsche Presse-Agentur (dpa) for a report on 6 June:

"We think it is good and important that the federal government also wants to promote municipal climate protection more strongly. From the cities' point of view, there have been far too many short-sighted and cumbersome federal funding programmes so far, which at best have caused a flash in the pan. This is no longer appropriate, because we need to act quickly and effectively to achieve climate neutrality. The German Association of Cities has therefore developed a concept for how the federal and state governments can wisely promote municipal climate protection. Municipalities should receive fixed budgets for climate protection for at least 10 years. This creates planning security at the local level, for example to renovate school buildings to make them more energy efficient or to achieve a heat supply without fossil fuels.

SRU Open Letter on the Climate Cabinet

Closing the implementation and ambition gap

Prior to the decisive meeting on 20 September 2019, the SRU addressed an open letter to the members of the Climate Cabinet. The SRU emphasises that the measures to be adopted must be suitable for achieving the 2030 climate target. Especially in the Transport and building sector there is an enormous need for action. The Council also recommends raising Germany's climate targets. In future, German climate policy should be evaluated on the basis of a national climate budget.

More BMWi funding for energy transition

In 2015, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy approved 939 new projects totalling 548 million euros. In the previous year, the figure was 695 projects with 373 million euros in funding. The majority of the funds were channelled into wind energy, photovoltaics, energy efficiency in buildings and cities, energy storage and grid infrastructure. The EnArgus information system and the BMWi's research portals (see column on the right) provide a detailed insight into the projects and the funds utilised. For energy efficiency in buildings and cities, the volume of funding for newly approved projects in 2015 totalled 73.48 million euros (13% ).
