Geographies of Nuclear Energy. An Introduction. | oeko.de

https://www.oeko.de/publikation/geographies-of-nuclear-energy-an-introduction/

Published in: Historical Social Research 49 (2024) 1 Nuclear energy has long attracted the attention of scholars in the humanities and social sciences. With this HSR Special Issue, we would like to push the scholarly frontier by highlighting the geographies of nuclear energy in the past and present. Nuclear energy is inherently interwoven with geography. We argue that to fully appreciate and grasp nuclear energy’s geographical and spatial dimensions, approaches from a range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary fields are needed. This special issue thus includes contributions from history, geography, political science, technology assessment, science and technology stud-ies (STS), and other fields. This article introduces this topic by outlining the state of the art of the geographies of nuclear energy and discusses different conceptual frameworks of how to understand nuclear-space interactions. In addition, the individual articles in this issue are briefly presented here and discussed within the research con

Reducing demand: a quantitative analysis of energy service demand indicators in sufficiency-oriented scenarios | oeko.de

https://www.oeko.de/publikation/reducing-demand-a-quantitative-analysis-of-energy-service-demand-indicators-in-sufficiency-oriented-scenarios/

A reduction of energy service demand in all sectors is required to reach ambitious climate and other sustainability goals. A growing number of energy and climate scenarios does include detailed assumptions and quantified parameters for the reduction of energy service demand. However, the indicators and units used to measure the demand reduction potential of energy services differ from study to study and are thus difficult to compare. To help fill the existing research gap around the assumptions and quantification of sufficiency potentials, we analyse quantified European-focused sufficiency scenarios that are ambitious with respect to energy demand reduction.

Strategies for Traceability to Prevent Unauthorised GMOs (Including NGTs) in the EU: State of the Art and Possible Alternative Approaches | oeko.de

https://www.oeko.de/publikation/strategies-for-traceability-to-prevent-unauthorised-gmos-including-ngts-in-the-eu-state-of-the-art-and-possible-alternative-approaches/

The EU’s regulatory framework for genetically modified organisms (GMOs) was developed for “classical” transgenic GMOs, yet advancements in so-called “new genomic techniques (NGTs)” have led to implementation challenges regarding detection and identification. As traceability can complement detection and identification strategies, improvements to the existing traceability strategy for GMOs are investigated in this study. Our results are based on a comprehensive analysis of existing traceability systems for globally traded agricultural products, with a focus on soy. Alternative traceability strategies in other sectors were also analysed. One focus was on traceability strategies for products with characteristics for which there are no analytical verification methods. Examples include imports of “conflict minerals” into the EU. The so-called EU Conflict Minerals Regulation requires importers of certain raw materials to carry out due diligence in the supply chain. Due diligence regulations, such as the EU’s Conflic

Öko-Institut erstellt Klimabilanz für die Metro Group | oeko.de

https://www.oeko.de/news/aktuelles/oeko-institut-erstellt-klimabilanz-fuer-die-metro-group/

Unternehmen verpflichtet sich, Treibhausgasemissionen bis zum Jahr 2015 um 15 Prozent zu senken Weltweite Klimaveränderungen lassen keinen Zweifel daran, dass der Ausstoß an Treibhausgasen erheblich gesenkt werden muss. Dieser Verantwortung wollen sich zunehmend auch Unternehmen stellen. Das Öko-Institut bietet dabei fachliche Unterstützung für die Praxis. Aktuell haben die WissenschaftlerInnen für das Handelsunternehmen Metro Group eine Klimabilanz erstellt und geprüft, wie der Konzern seine Treibhausgasemissionen wirkungsvoll verringern kann. Das Ergebnis: Im Untersuchungsjahr 2006 hat das Unternehmen 4,15 Millionen Tonnen CO2 emittiert. Jetzt hat sich die Metro Group verpflichtet, ihre Emissionen bis zum Jahr 2015 um 15 Prozent zu senken. Das soll vor allem mit Energieeinsparungen erreicht werden.
