Regenerative Energie
Aim of this work is to provide practical and yet comprehensive guidelines for the preparation of integrated feasibility studies for the renewable energy sector, considering technical, environmental, economic, socio-cultural, legal and institutional aspects which are particularly applicable for developing countries.
The continuous growth of oil prices and energy demand raises an important problem as the larger portion of mineral oil reserves resides within a small number of countries, thus forming a fragile energy supply that is expected to reach its limit within the foreseeable future. Additionally, the usage of fossil fuels causes numerous environmental problems, such as atmospheric pollution, acidification and the emission of greenhouse gases. The development of cleaner and renewable energy sources appears as a meaningful intervention for addressing these problems. More specifically, biomass (including vegetation and trees, energy crops, as well as biosolids, animal, forestry and agricultural residues, the organic fraction of municipal wastes and certain types of industrial wastes) emerges as an interesting option, mainly due to its potential worldwide availability, its conversion efficiency and its ability to be produced and consumed on a CO2-neutral basis. Conversion of waste biomass and organic substrates into energy encompasses a wide range of different types and sources of biomass, conversion options, end-use applications and infrastructure requirements. Many of the processes are suitable for either direct conversion of biomass or conversion of intermediate types of biomass.Objectives of the guidelines are to aid with the production of integrated feasibility studies for the renewable energy sector, considering all aspects which are particularly applicable for developing countries. It involves a definition of the scope, which reflects the aims and objectives of the target groups, methodologies and tools which provide answers to questions such as: why is it useful to do a feasibility study for renewable energy; what needs to be done; who can help; what needs to be taken care of; and, how much detail is needed.

Die EEW Energy from Waste GmbH (EEW) hat sich das Ziel gesetzt, bis 2045 klimaneutral zu werden. Mit 17 Standorten verfügt EEW über eine Verbrennungskapazität von ca. 5 Millionen Tonnen Abfall pro Jahr.
Abfall- und Kreislaufwirtschaft in Deutschland im internationalen Vergleich - Spitzenplatz oder nur noch Mittelmaß?
© Witzenhausen-Institut für Abfall, Umwelt und Energie GmbH (4/2025)
Neben der Umstellung der künftigen Energieversorgung auf ein zu 100 % erneuerbares Energiesystem ist die Abfall- und Kreislaufwirtschaft die zweite zentrale Säule im Rahmen der globalen Transformation in eine klimaneutrale Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft.
