Railways have always been subject to the effects of the weather and were constructed to “survive” natural hazards as infrequent phenomena. Today’s extreme weather will become tomorrow’s normal weather. ARISCC is therefore aiming to develop and implement appropriate adaptation strategies for infrastructure design, components and processes in order to be able to operate in what are abnormal circumstances today and will develop practical tools and measures in order to be prepared for the increasing effects of climate changes, as well as developing credible messages to decision makers on maintenance and investment costs. more...

The scope of the project „e-fit: continuous vocational training in the renewable energy field“ is to design eLearning scenarios for vocational education and training. Target learning situations are vocational preparation as well as further education. Target learners are craftsmen, architects, engineers, trainees and company employees. Each eLearning scenario treats one single renewable energy technology. more...

The project analyses how ownership - primarily, but not exclusively financial ownership - contributes to the acceptance of renewables. IZT develops easy-to-implement ownership concepts for renewable powerplants. The concepts are being developed and validated in a participatory process with local actors from different regions in Germany. more...

The project’s objective is to improve the German Federal Environment Agency’s emission inventory, i.e. filling gaps and improving on weaknesses. An evaluation of emissions declarations in line with the 11th ordinance (11. BImSchV) to the German ‘Clean Air Act’ (Bundesimmissionsschutzgesetz - BImSchG) will therefore be carried out. Such emissions declarations are to be submitted to the federal authorities by all facilities which are in need of an environmental permit. more...

The European Union aims at achieving a share of 20 % of renewable energy by 2020. The different starting points (e.g. existing energy mix), specific framework conditions, and basic resource potentials of the Member States will be taken into consideration in order to provide a fair increase for all Member states and based on that background, derive appropriate national expansion goals. It is the responsibility of Member States to break down the overall targets into sector specific goals. Further more, the Member States can pursue the most cost effective path through cooperation with other Member States. more...

The „Integrated Technology-Roadmap Automation 2015+” that was published last year was a real success. Giving orientation and impetus for future automation needs based on socio-economic trends and being a novel approach to roadmapping, the study was very well received by the Automation Industry. Therefore the Automation Association of the ‘German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association (ZVEI)’ continues the roadmapping process. more...

The BewareE project aims at stimulating this change of attitude and at enhancing the implementation of ‘energy services’ in cooperation with housing organizations and companies, drawing on ‘good practice examples’ from EU and national projects. This project will generate a database of energy services to be disseminated among housing organizations and companies, public and private energy service providers. more...

The acceptance and support of a wide range of strata of the population and of decision-makers is urgently needed for the continued expansion of renewable energies towards being the primary means for energy and electricity provision. Addressing the accumulated questions, strategies will be developed in a series of workshops involving the relevant decision-makers, as to how the acceptance of renewable energy technologies can be funded and how their use on a regional and local level can be intensified. more...
