Regenerative Energie
The development of a sustainable society requires reduction of dependency on fossil fuels and of the amount of pollution generated from human activities. The treatment of solid waste and of wastewater is an area in which these two goals can be simultaneously achieved. Biological Hydrogen Production is an interesting opportunity to produce hydrogen from renewable source, at low costs and sustainable environmental impacts.
Energy is fundamental for life and the development of the society. The global energy request is satisfied from fossil fuels which are currently used as primary energy source and found economic convenience for transport and production of energy for industrial and house requests. Emerging scientific evidences are proving climate change effects from the use of fossil fuels caused by the emissions of COx, NOx, SOx, CxHx, dust and ash, produced during combustion processes and released in atmosphere. Hydrogen is receiving higher interest to avoid fossil fuels consumption and climate changing. It cannot be considered as a primary energy source but it could be transported, stored and used like other primary energy sources. Hydrogen is the most plentiful element in the universe making up about three-quarter of all the matter. The atmosphere contains about 0.07% hydrogen, while the earth’s surface contains about 0.14% hydrogen. Hydrogen is the lightest elements. The mass of one litre of hydrogen is 0.09 g, while the mass of one litre of air is about 1.2 g. Due to its clean and high energy yields (122 kJ/g) hydrogen is a promising candidate as an ideal fuel in the future. In addition, hydrogen has great potential for use as primary or secondary energy source for chemical synthesis or for electrical storage and generation with fuel cells. To avoid carbon dioxide emission in atmosphere, hydrogen has to be produced from renewable source.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens
- ein Rechtsvergleich

Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
