The document provides an introduction to challenges faced by carbon-based economies and the need for sustainable energy transitions. It discusses how climate change from greenhouse gas emissions threatens human well-being and socioeconomic development. While global CO2 emissions have recently stagnated, more action is needed to limit global warming below 2°C as agreed upon in the Paris Agreement. Renewable energy and energy efficiency can significantly reduce emissions by 2030 and help achieve climate targets, but ambitious implementation is required. Sustainable Development Goals also aim to raise awareness of climate change's multidimensional impacts on issues like poverty and health.
This document discusses the need to transition away from business-as-usual approaches to addressing climate change across four perspectives: climate science, asset valuation, political will, and transition management. It notes the strengthening evidence of climate impacts from the scientific community. From an asset valuation perspective, it discusses how listed fossil fuel reserves far exceed carbon budgets for staying below 2°C of warming, which could strand those assets. The uncertainty of political will to drive the needed transition is also covered. Finally, it outlines some of the key challenges in managing the transition away from high-carbon systems and toward more resilient, low-carbon energy economies.
External Costs: Socio-Environmental Damages due to Electricity and TransportElisaMendelsohn
The document discusses the methodology used to calculate external costs, which are socio-environmental damages caused by electricity generation and transport. It describes the impact pathway approach used, which follows emissions through air, soil, and water to physical impacts on health, crops, buildings, and ecosystems, and then monetizes these impacts. Seven major types of damages are assessed, including effects on mortality, health, crops, materials, and global warming. The methodology involves comparing scenarios with and without the emissions to determine marginal impacts and costs avoided by reducing emissions. Uncertainty is higher for impacts like global warming, so alternative approaches like avoidance costs are also used.
The document outlines a regional consultation meeting to discuss science, technology and innovation (STI) for promoting renewable energy technologies in Asia and the Pacific. The meeting will support preparations for the 2013 UN Economic and Social Council Annual Ministerial Review on using STI to achieve sustainable development goals. It will facilitate an exchange of experiences on effective STI policies to promote renewable energy and identify regional priorities. The expected outcomes include an analytical summary of best practices to submit to the Annual Ministerial Review and potential new partnerships to announce.

Birmingham Centre for Strategic Elements & Critical Materials Prospectus (v2)Gavin Harper
A material is deemed to be critical when it is economically important but at risk of short supply. These materials often contain certain elements that may be regarded as being of strategic importance to modern and future technologies. The supply constraints are driven by geological, economic,
technical or political factors, which can only be addressed by an interdisciplinary team.
The Birmingham Centre for Strategic Elements and Critical Materials encompasses expertise from across the University of Birmingham and the Birmingham Energy Institute in biosciences, chemical engineering, chemistry, earth and environmental sciences, economics, law, materials science, physics and social science.
The aim of BCSECM is to develop solutions to the problem of criticality in order to alleviate these supply constraints or to substitute the strategic materials/elements with less scarce alternatives.
This article represents results of an unbiased, factual, and scientifically valid analysis
of all available data on ecological, economic, and social indicators of energy
technologies and of how they influence sustainable development indicators. It marks out
indicators characterizing the impact of energy technologies on the environment providing
specific values to all energy sources considered (coal, gas, hydro, wind, solar, and
nuclear). The article demonstrates that renewable energy sources and nuclear power are
characterized by the best ecological indicators. The article also reveals that the most
efficient energy technologies for promoting sustainable development are natural gas and
nuclear power.
Australia needs an energy sector that addresses the ‘energy trilemma’ – that is to say it must provide energy security, affordability and environmental sustainability. After a period of relative stability, significant change in the energy sector can be expected in coming years due to the need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, together with the rapid pace of technological development occurring in the sector.
This roadmap seeks to help policy and other decision makers navigate this change by highlighting the key technologies that Australia can draw on as it endeavours to address the energy trilemma. It also identifies the barriers to these technologies and the potential enablers that may be called on to overcome them. Lastly, the roadmap identifies the key commercial opportunities for industry that low emissions technologies in the energy sector can provide.
Australia’s emissions reduction target On 10 November 2016, Australia ratified the Paris Agreement, committing to achieve a 26-28% reduction in GHG emissions below 2005 levels by 2030. The Paris Agreement also requires signatories to strengthen their abatement efforts over time with the overarching goal of limiting the increase in global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, with efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C. The Paris Agreement also recognises that the world will need to achieve zero net emissions in the second half of the century.To achieve this level of decarbonisation, Australia will need to adopt a multi-faceted approach, primarily targeting emissions reduction in the land and energy sectors. The energy sector, which is the focus of this roadmap, will play a key role given it accounts for 79% of Australia’s emissions.

Da millenni l’aumento dell’efficienza energetica
è il principale presupposto per
l’aumento del consumo totale di energia.
----------------------
Riassunto
1. Tutte le conversioni antropiche dell’energia
hanno costi sociali e ambientali.
Nessuna tecnologia energetica può espandersi all’infinito.
2. L’efficienza è ambivalente:
- può far diminuire il consumo di energia in settori saturabili
(es. riscaldamento, climatizzazione)
- ma permette di far crescere l’uso totale di energia
(effetto rebound)
nella società nel suo complesso e in settori non saturabili
(es. trasporti privati, beni di consumo, viaggi, vacanze)
3. Un limite volontario a 2000 watt pro capite sviluppa una parsimonia energetica, che include anche la parsimonia di energie fossili
4. Una “società a 2000 watt” nei Paesi industriali
offre ai Paesi in via di sviluppo un esempio
di organizzazione sociale e di tecnologie sostenibili.
5. La sufficienza necessaria è:

The document summarizes Korea's policies and strategies for transitioning to a circular economy. It discusses how Korea has adopted various policy instruments, including a target management system, resource efficiency program, energy recovery program, recycling technology program, and emission trading system, to transform its previously linear economy. The Kaya identity, which decomposes greenhouse gas emissions into economic output, energy intensity, and carbon intensity, serves as a useful framework to understand Korea's motivation for this transition. Specifically, Korea's rapid economic growth had led to a doubling of its per capita greenhouse gas emissions over 20 years, so it aims to decouple economic growth from environmental impacts through circular economy policies.
Background Report on Global prospects for fossil fuels with special reference...Moises Covarrubias
This document provides a summary of a report on global prospects for fossil fuels with reference to resource rent effects and carbon capture and storage (CCS). It outlines key projections from the IEA's World Energy Outlook 2014 including continued growth in global energy demand and a slowly declining but still prominent role for fossil fuels. It questions the assumptions in the IEA projections and argues that prospects for fossil fuels may be worse from a normative perspective aiming to limit climate change. Reduced demand for fossil fuel imports could benefit EU geopolitical stability. While CCS applied to gas may be compatible with climate targets, CCS on coal plants likely cannot reduce emissions enough.
This document outlines the United Nations Environment Programme's (UNEP) "Green Economy Initiative" which aims to promote a global transition to a low-carbon, resource efficient "green economy" through various initiatives and reports. The initiative will demonstrate the economic opportunities of investing in green sectors like renewable energy and green jobs. It will also evaluate the value of ecosystem services and make policy recommendations. The initiative will engage global policy processes and foster consensus on green economy concepts through regional collaborations and country technical assistance.

Jochem E. et al (2002) Steps towards a 2000 Watt-Society. Developing a White Paper on Research & Development of Energy-Efficient Technologies - Executive Summary - 19 p.
Executive summary
In the coming decades, the threat and consequences of
climate change and of the re-concentration of crude oil
production in the Near East will compel industrialised nations
to make much more efficient use of energy. R&D that helps
realise energy efficiency potentials is likely to be regarded as
important in scientific, entrepreneurial, and political realms.
Demand for highly energy-efficient technologies will rise
steeply, and firms that can provide them will prosper. The
identification of energy-efficient technologies and related
energy conservation potentials undertaken in this pre-study is
a first step toward designing a R&D strategy that is consistent
with the need to evolve towards a 2000 Watt per capita society.
Reaching this level by 2050 implies reducing primary energy
use from 1200 to 460 PJ per year, despite a projected 65%
economic expansion.

Jochem 2002 Steps towards a 2000 Watt-Society Ex Summmorosini1952
Jochem E. et al (2002) Steps towards a 2000 Watt-Society. Developing a White Paper on Research & Development of Energy-Efficient Technologies - Executive Summary - 19 p.
Executive summary
In the coming decades, the threat and consequences of
climate change and of the re-concentration of crude oil
production in the Near East will compel industrialised nations
to make much more efficient use of energy. R&D that helps
realise energy efficiency potentials is likely to be regarded as
important in scientific, entrepreneurial, and political realms.
Demand for highly energy-efficient technologies will rise
steeply, and firms that can provide them will prosper. The
identification of energy-efficient technologies and related
energy conservation potentials undertaken in this pre-study is
a first step toward designing a R&D strategy that is consistent
with the need to evolve towards a 2000 Watt per capita society.
Reaching this level by 2050 implies reducing primary energy
use from 1200 to 460 PJ per year, despite a projected 65%
economic expansion.

DISCUSSION ON THE WORKPROGRAMME OF ANNEX XVIIEA-ETSAP
The document discusses the International Energy Agency's Energy Technology Systems Analysis Programme (IEA-ETSAP), which develops energy systems modeling tools to help policymakers design pathways to meet goals like reducing emissions. The program involves collaboration between modeling teams from over 70 countries. It summarizes the program's objectives like conducting collaborative policy analysis using whole-systems modeling and building modeling capacity. Key topics discussed include the need for immediate mitigation action, the role of technologies like renewables and carbon capture, and how modeling can inform policies around issues like meeting energy demand at least cost and ensuring energy security.
Presentación Luis Puch webinar Ivie Cambio climático y transición energéticaIvie
This document discusses climate change, the energy transition, and related macroeconomic and policy issues. It begins by establishing the negative impacts of climate change from burning fossil fuels. It then examines trends in carbon emissions and GDP across countries. Models discussed indicate that reducing energy intensity and increasing renewable energy share are important for lowering emissions. The document concludes by arguing that policies are needed to conditionally converge energy standards and implement cyclical carbon pricing and subsidies to help meet emissions targets.
Parallel Session C - Presentation by Antoine DechezleprêtreOECD Environment
This document discusses measuring innovation for environmental technologies and policies to support such innovation. It summarizes recent studies using patent data to answer policy questions and notes some limitations of patents. Specifically, it examines how patents have been used to study the impact of the EU emissions trading system on low-carbon innovation, the social benefits and higher spillovers of clean technologies, and the long time lag between public research funding and commercialization. It concludes that while patents provide useful information, multiple indicators are needed to get a full picture of technological change and that more research is still required to inform policies around driving breakthrough innovation and determining optimal public support levels.

Circular Hotspot COP24 Side-Event: Circular Economy - The missing link in the...Diana de Graaf
There is growing awareness that the Circular Economy is a missing link in the Paris agenda and that it is urgent to strengthen the link between Circular Economy and the Climate Change Agenda. A circular economy aims to decouple economic growth from the use of natural resources and ecosystems by using those resources more effectively. During the COP24 climate summit in Katowice in December 2018, a coalition of European circular hotspots presented evidence and best practices of the circular economy as a means to bridge the gap in the climate agenda and identified where there is potential for scaling up.

How important is the C2CN for Europe? Igor Jelinski, EC/DG EnvironmentOVAM
The document discusses eco-innovation and merging environmental and cohesion policy in the EU. It summarizes the EU's ETAP (Environmental Technologies Action Plan) from 2004-2009 and proposes moving forward with a new Eco-Innovation Action Plan. The plan would have a new focus on the role of environmental policy in promoting eco-innovation and better coordination between EU and member state actions. It also discusses the potential role of the C2CN (Cohesion for Competitiveness and Innovation) network in supporting innovative regional projects and merging environmental and cohesion policy agendas.
This document discusses frameworks for understanding and governing complex transitions to more sustainable energy systems. It uses examples from the UK and Netherlands to illustrate challenges in transition governance. Transition analysis emphasizes the need to develop new low-carbon innovations in protected niches, destabilize incumbent high-carbon regimes, and help various actors adopt more sustainable options. However, transition governance faces challenges in prioritizing certain technologies or social changes over others, and in legitimately redistributing resources and commitments away from existing regimes. A broader political program may be needed to democratize transition processes and link technical issues to wider politics and visions of sustainable societies.
This document discusses frameworks for understanding and governing complex transitions to more sustainable energy systems. It uses examples from the UK and Netherlands to illustrate challenges in transition governance. Transition analysis emphasizes the need to develop new low-carbon innovations in protected niches, destabilize incumbent high-carbon regimes, and help various actors adopt more sustainable options. However, transition governance efforts often remain captured by existing energy policy networks and focus more on technology than social and political dimensions of change. The document argues for a broader political program that empowers citizens, decentralizes control, and legitimately redistributes resources and commitments to transition pathways. Open questions are raised about democratic and legitimate governance of transitions.

1) The document discusses leadership requirements in ISO 9001:2015, including demonstrating leadership commitment, establishing a quality policy, and defining organizational roles and responsibilities.
2) Top management must ensure the quality management system is effective and integrated, that resources are available, and that quality objectives align with strategic goals. Customer focus and satisfaction must also be promoted.
3) The quality policy provides a framework for quality objectives and commits the organization to satisfying requirements and continual improvement. It must be communicated and available as documented information.
The document contrasts innovation with compliance, discussing how they relate to concepts like individuality, curiosity, rule-breaking, and autonomy versus laws, policies, and internal codes. It notes the thin line between entrepreneurship and insubordination. Quotes from thinkers like Simon Sinek, Dan Pink and Ken Robinson are provided that discuss how compliance-focused systems can breed non-innovative cultures if they do not recognize variability and individuality, and how autonomy, mastery and purpose better drive motivation than incentives and punishment. The conclusion is that governance and compliance alone should form the common set of values and beliefs in an organization.

16. Climate Change is still an alarming issue
GHG concentration increased significantly over the last decade and has approached
more than 400ppm
16Wuppertal)Ins-tut)
“Today the Earth is already 1°C hotter than at the start
of the twentieth century. We are halfway to the critical
2°C threshold. National climate change plans adopted
so far may not be enough to avoid a temperature rise of
3°C, but we can avert the worst-case scenarios with
urgent and far-reaching measures to cut carbon dioxide
emissions,” said Dr. Taalas (World Meteorological
Organization, 2016).
17. Understanding the role of GHG emissions
CO2 with high importance in global warming
17Wuppertal)Ins-tut)
! Carbon dioxide (CO2): about 60% of the human made GHG emissions are related to
CO2 which includes a lifetime in the atmosphere of up to 200 years
! Methane (CH4): human made methane is related to agriculture (rice production, cattle
farming, etc.) and forestry, biomass, waste, etc. But also leaks in the exploitation and
transportation of gas has high importance in emissions (increasing importance in gas
fracking). CH4 has a global warming potential 25 times that of carbon dioxide (CO2)
and includes a lifetime in the atmosphere of around 12 years.
! Nitrous oxide (N2O): human made nitrous oxide is related to agriculture (livestock
farming, fertilization, biomass, and fossil fuels from power plants and traffic). N2O has
a global warming potential 298 times that of carbon dioxide (CO2) and includes a
lifetime in the atmosphere of 114 years.
! ...
Carbon dioxide of very high importance with regard to global
warming, however, further GHG emissions have to be taken
into account from different sectors to reduce global warming

Promising trends:
! 2014-2016: Global energy-
related CO2 emissions stagnated
although the global economy
grew (decoupling of emissions
and economic activity)
! Renewable energy based
electricity production (PV, Wind)
becomes competitive (MENA
among the lowest cost)
! Co-Benefits („blue sky above
China“) enforce CO2 mitigation
measures
! Decarbonization on top of the Agenda of G7 summit at Elmau Germany and

Resulting from growing RE generation, switches from
coal to gas, increasing energy efficiency, and structural
changes in economy.
Declining emissions have been experienced especially
in USA and China, while a stagnation could be seen in
Europa, and an increase in most of the rest of the world.
There is still an urgent need for actions!

! Renewable energy and energy efficiency measures must be part of climate change
mitigation strategies
! Scenarios with longer timelines foresee particularly the implementation of Carbon
Capture Storage (CCS) solutions but high uncertainties with that technology still exist
(e.g., further cost reductions are needed, large-scale applications are missed, questions
about storages exist, social acceptance of such strategies needs further research, ...)
What will be the consequence if CCS becomes not

56. Why do transitions take place?
Persistent problems demand fundamental solutions
! Regular policy offers no solutions
! Market creation and commodification is not a solution
! Incremental institutionalism is not sufficient
Against that background transitions are
fundamental shifts in the systems that fulfill societal needs,
through profound changes in dominant structures, practices,
technologies, policies, lifestyles, thinking …

57. What are (energy) transitions
exactly and how can they be
defined?
123Wuppertal)Ins-tut)
58. Characteristics of transitions
! Transformation processes are frequently driven through crises and
scarcity situations
! Transformation processes occur rapidly when existing structures reach
their limits, present behavioral patterns stop working and established
business models are declining (society is otherwise characterized by risk
and change reluctance)
! Transformation processes are successful, when
they have a clear objective and the (additional) benefit can be transferred
sufficient technological possibilities exist and are embedded in social and
cultural contexts (embedded technologies)
demonstration projects can be used to show how the processes can be
implemented and that a high level of partaking is possible
! Transformation processes require the active change of socio-technical
regimes through (niche) innovations
124Wuppertal)Ins-tut)
59. Characteristics of energy system transitions
Sustainable energy transformation processes are characterized by...
! high dynamics in very conservative (structures) sector
! high uncertainties and increasing complexity (inclusive the overlapping in
infrastructure systems)
! structural decision nodes with regard to the allocation of limited goods or the
development of new infrastructures (decisions could lead to lock-in effects and
insufficient flexibility for upcoming innovation / new developments)
! international developments and resulting opportunities and boundaries - import of
renewable power and power based fuels and feedstock for industry
Decisions with regard to the energy system transformation must taken into account:
! Management of uncertainties and complexity (resulting from uncertain market conditions
and complex transformation processes)
! Prevention lock-in effects and path dependencies as well as political and economic risks
! Guarantee of sufficient opportunities for adjustment and flexibility

Gasdurchfluss im Erdgasnetz von Vorteil,
da hier größere Mengen Wasserstoff
eingespeist werden können.
Für große Wasserelektrolyseure mit nach-

liche Nähe zu Gasspeichern ein wichtiger
Standortfaktor, wenn die Transportkapa-

Standortwahl.
Die Standortwahl hat maßgeblichen Ein-
fluss auf die Kosten einer Power-to-Gas-
Anlage. Die Auswahl des Standorts richtet
sich nach dem Geschäftsmodell der ge-
planten Anlage. Dabei muss sich die Wahl
an den Gegebenheiten sowohl im Strom-
als auch im Gasnetz orientieren. So ist
zum Beispiel für die Methanisierung die
räumliche Nähe zu einer Kohlendioxid-
quelle von Vorteil.

1. With the Multi-Level Perspective an approach exists to understand
relations between niche innovations, developments at the socio-
technical landscape and internal regime drivers
a. Developments at the socio-technical landscape put pressure on
the existing energy regime and create windows of opportunities
b. Stabilized niche innovations are taking advantages of the created
windows of opportunities
c. The resulting new energy system influences the socio-technical
landscape (adjustments occur)
2. With the MLP approach an illustrative instrument exists, but no
guideline for application (steering of transitions) is provided
3. Changes of the socio-technical regime requires system innovations
that includes technological and social innovations in combination with

Gasdurchfluss im Erdgasnetz von Vorteil,
da hier größere Mengen Wasserstoff
eingespeist werden können.
Für große Wasserelektrolyseure mit nach-

liche Nähe zu Gasspeichern ein wichtiger
Standortfaktor, wenn die Transportkapa-

Für die Methanisierung ist eine Kohlen-

Standortwahl.
Die Standortwahl hat maßgeblichen Ein-
fluss auf die Kosten einer Power-to-Gas-
Anlage. Die Auswahl des Standorts richtet
sich nach dem Geschäftsmodell der ge-
planten Anlage. Dabei muss sich die Wahl
an den Gegebenheiten sowohl im Strom-
als auch im Gasnetz orientieren. So ist
zum Beispiel für die Methanisierung die
räumliche Nähe zu einer Kohlendioxid-
quelle von Vorteil.
