Regenerative Energie
Different directives of the European Union may require operators of Waste to Energy WTE plants to monitor the composition of their waste feed with respect to the Content of biomass and fossil organic matter. The mass fractions of both materials are not only of relevance for the amount of fossil and thus climate relevant CO2 emissions of the plant, but also for the ratio of renewable energy generated, as biomass in wastes is considered as renewable energy source.
In recent years different methods, including manual sorting, selective dissolution, the radiocarbon method and the Balance Method have been developed to determine the biomass content of waste, and thus the fraction of renewable energy and fossil CO2 emissions produced by WTE plants. Until now all of these methods have been applied to different WTE plants and different wastes aiming at, on the one hand, the determination of characteristic values for the biomass content and fossil CO2 emissions and on the other hand, at a comparison of the different analysis methods. With respect to the latter, results of the different studies indicate that methods requiring waste feed sampling - e.g. sorting analysis or selective dissolution method - are much more vulnerable to waste heterogeneity and temporal changes in waste composition as quantities of manageable waste samples (at Maximum a few tons) are very small in comparison to the total amount thermally utilized.

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.
