CO2-Abtrennung und -Speicherung: Potenziale und Grenzen, Chancen und Risiken für die Gaswirtschaft

Das Projekt "CO2-Abtrennung und -Speicherung: Potenziale und Grenzen, Chancen und Risiken für die Gaswirtschaft" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie gGmbH durchgeführt. Gegenstand dieses Forschungsauftrages war die Erarbeitung einer Studie zum Thema 'CO2-Abtrennung und -Speicherung - Potenziale und Grenzen, Chancen und Risiken für die Gaswirtschaft'. Ziel war es, aus energiewirtschaftlicher Sicht zu untersuchen, welchen Stellenwert die CO2-Sequestrierung als Strategiepfad für den Klimaschutz zukünftig einnehmen kann. Dabei war die Frage nach den verfügbaren (hinreichend sicheren) Speicherpotenzialen ebenso zu klären wie die infrastrukturellen Voraussetzungen für deren Nutzung. Mit Bezug auf die Gaswirtschaft wurde analysiert, welcher Annäherungspunkt sich für diese entlang der Prozesskette ergeben und ggf. ihr Know-how gewinnbringend eingesetzt werden kann. Energiewirtschaftlich bedeutsam ist mit Blick auf die Primärenergiequelle Erdgas langfristig die Frage, ob die CO2-Abtrennung und -Speicherung direkt an der Primärenergiequelle durchgeführt werden kann, um Wasserstoff in direkter oder indirekter Form zu den Verbrauchsschwerpunkten (z.B. Kraftwerke, Verkehr) zu bringen.

Coordinating an Observation Network of Networks EnCompassing saTellite and IN-situ to fill the Gaps in European Observations (ConnectinGEO)

Das Projekt "Coordinating an Observation Network of Networks EnCompassing saTellite and IN-situ to fill the Gaps in European Observations (ConnectinGEO)" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Centro de Investigacion Ecologica y Aplicaciones Forestales durchgeführt. ConnectinGEOs primary goal is to link existing coordinated Earth Observation networks with science and technology (S&T) communities, the industry sector and the GEOSS and Copernicus stakeholders. The aim is to facilitate a broader and more accessible knowledge base to support the needs of the GEO Societal Benefit Areas (SBAs) and their users. A broad range of subjects from climate, natural resources and raw materials, to the emerging UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will be addressed. A tangible outcome of the project will be a prioritized list of critical gaps within the European Union in observations and the models that translate observations into practice-relevant knowledge. The prioritized list will include the research activities required to address these gaps. Ultimately, this will increase coherency of European observation networks, increase the use of Earth observations for assessments and forecasts and inform the planning for future observation systems through a sustainable approach that will survive beyond the end of this project. ConnectinGEO has 4 major objectives: a) Enable a European Network of Earth Observation Networks (ENEON) including space-based, airborne and in-situ observations networks. b) Provide a methodology to convert the knowledge needs into a coherent observation and measurement compendium for ENEON strategy and development. c) Apply the ConnectinGEO methodology to identify and assess the priority of gaps. d) Open the results of the project and exploit them beyond the project end.

Bioelectrochemical systems for metal recovery (BIOELECTROMET)

Das Projekt "Bioelectrochemical systems for metal recovery (BIOELECTROMET)" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Stichting Wetsus Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Water Technology durchgeführt. Global primary metal resources are rapidly dwindling and the mining and metallurgical industries are increasingly turning to lower grade minerals for metal extraction, typically increasing costs. Innovative environmental metal extraction techniques are required to increase mining sustainability, increase revenues and lower its impact on the environment. In this project, bioelectrochemical technology is proposed as an entirely new method for metal processing with the aim to produce marketable metal-containing (intermediate) products with low environmental impact compared to state-of-the art technologies. In bioelectrochemical technology, microorganisms catalyse the reaction occurring on one or both electrodes of an electrolytic cell. Such cells are called Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) when power is produced and Microbial Electrolysis Cells (MECs) when power is required to drive the desired reaction. Recently, it has been shown that Cu2+ is reduced to metallic copper on the cathode of a MFC coupled to the biological oxidation of organic matter and with resulting electricity generation. The proof-of-principle MFC almost completely recovered the Cu2+ in its metallic form (decrease in concentration from 1 g/L to less than 1 mg/L) and produced a maximum power density of 0.8 W/m2. Bioelectrochemical technology can be used for the base metals copper, nickel, iron, zinc, cobalt and lead, which are mined, processed and used in large quantities. These metals are ubiquitous in process- and waste streams from the mining and metallurgical industry and therefore application of bioelectrochemistry for these metals has a high impact. Compared to traditional techniques, the use of Bioelectrochemical technology allows high recovery efficiencies, increased metal selectivity and reduced use of energy with in some cases (e.g. copper reduction) electricity production.
