Project 9: Economic-ecological Optimization of Selected Technologies within the Energy Supply System
In the dissertation project "Economic-Ecological Optimization of Selected Technologies of Energy Supply", an analysis is carried out in four stages for a technology selected in agreement with the other subprojects in the areas of generation, transport, storage, distribution, or utilization: Work Package 1 (WP 1), "Systematic Literature Review", will assess the state of research into the use of materials and energy for a selected type of technology across all phases of the life cycle. In WP 2, "Material Flow Cost Accounting", material flow modeling for a specific technology is carried out with the aid of interdisciplinary cooperation. This serves as the basis for a material flow cost accounting (MFCA) calculation across all value creation steps. In WP 3, "Net Economic-ecological Effect", the net economic-ecological effect (NEEE) is determined for a technology optimization (e.g. by substitution). WP 4, "New Business Models in a Sharing Economy", capitalizes on cooperation with colleagues from other social sciences. The aim is to evaluate new business models for the use of resources in energy supply systems, e.g. for copper leasing.
