Regenerative Energie
Photovoltaic (PV) energy generation is an environmentally friendly and resource-conserving way of producing electricity. Open space outside of buildings like landfills is very suited for the implementation of plants with very high power. After the operation phase landfills are temporarily covered for 10-20 years for the decay of the settlements. Thereafter, the final sealing is put in place. In most countries there are only minor legal requirements for the temporary cover despite the heavy exposure due to settlements of the landfill body. Usually, the temporary cover is made of soil. The soil cover does not prevent the convection of gas. Thus the climate damaging landfill gas with a methane content of approximately 50% can be partly discharged and the access of precipitation water into the landfill body is not prevented. As a result the generation of leachate is continued.
Photovoltaic power plants are an attractive afteruse for the wide surfaces of closed landfills. It is a land recycling in combination with a climate friendly energy generation. For conventional PV-plants expensive and resource-consuming steel frames are necessary, which are built on top of a high amount of soil and other construction material. The present paper provides a short comparison of conventional solar energy plants and a combined system consisting of geomembrane and flexible thin film solar cells. Utilisation possibilities are summarised. A brief outline of the pilot project on the "Leppe" landfill is given.

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.
