Production of renewable electricity and biomethane.

Description

Based on geodata, this thesis analyses the potential for the expansion of electricity generation from photovoltaics, wind, hydropower, biomass and biomethane in 2030 and 2040. Objectives relating to nature, species and water protection are taken into account, but the nature conservation value of areas outside protected areas cannot be assessed using the method used. According to this evaluation, the theoretical and technical potential for the expansion of electricity production from photovoltaics and wind and for the production of biomethane is well above the current expansion targets under the Renewable Development Act. This expansion should be well reconciled with other protection objectives through proper planning and implementation as well as balancing burdens.
