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...
