Validation and quality assurance of methods for the substance flow analysis for large carbon dioxide loads from CO2 separation in CCS power stations

This report describes the specification of a suitable measurement system for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of fluids with a high carbon dioxide content, as is typical for ⁠CCS⁠ systems. The use of continuous CO2 measurement equipment in industrial plant is possible. The measurement method used works reliably with the established quality assurance measures. Compliance wi...read more

Final Report of the Project „Using Standardized Baselines (CDM) for Achieving Climate Policy Goals in Developing Countries (Suppressed Demand)”

Standardised Baselines (SBs) shall improve the opportunities for least developed countries and other underrepresented regions to participate in the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). SBs allow for shifting the effort of developing baseline scenarios and additionality testing from the individual project to the sectoral level. This research project followed two separate approaches in order to gather...read more

Biocides

The intended use of biocides is to kill, to destroy or to deter living organisms. Undesirable effects on environment and health are thus likely to occur. This is true even if products are authorised, because the aim of the authorisation procedure is for every single product to keep these effects below an unacceptable level, not to eliminate the effects as a whole. The same rationale underlies the...read more
