Integrated energy and climate program
During its closed meeting in Meseberg on August 23, 2007 , the German Federal Government decided on the cornerstones of the Integrated Energy and Climate Program (IEKP) . This program is therefore also known as the Meseberger resolutions .
background
The program is intended to implement the European policy decisions made in spring 2007 with regard to climate protection, the expansion of renewable energies and energy efficiency in a national package of measures. The implementation is to take place in such a way that the climate protection goals are continuously achieved by 2020.
Package of measures
The current status, goal and measures are formulated for the following 29 points:
- Combined Heat and Power Act
- Expansion of renewable energies ( renewable energy ) in the electricity sector
- Low-CO 2 power plant technologies
- Intelligent measurement methods for electricity consumption ( intelligent meter )
- Clean power plant technologies
- Introduction of modern energy management systems
- Funding programs for climate protection and energy efficiency
- Energy efficient products
- Feed-in regulation for biogas in natural gas networks
- Energy Saving Ordinance
- Operating costs for rental apartments
- CO 2 building renovation program
- Energetic modernization of the social infrastructure
- Renewable Energies Heat Act (EEWärmeG)
- Program for the energetic renovation of federal buildings
- CO 2 strategy for cars
- Expansion of biofuels
- Conversion of motor vehicle tax on CO 2 -based
- Consumption labeling for cars
- Improved steering effect of the truck toll
- Air traffic
- Shipping
- Reduction of emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases
- Procurement of energy efficient products and services
- Energy research and innovation
- Electromobility
- International projects for climate protection and energy efficiency
- Energy and climate policy reporting by the German embassies and consulates
- Transatlantic Climate and Technology Initiative.
Costs and benefits of the program
The Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research , in cooperation with the Öko-Institut and Forschungszentrum Jülich , evaluated selected measures economically. For the year 2020, the measures examined could save 2218 PJ of energy. This would result in gross costs of € 31 billion, offset by energy saving costs of € 36 billion.
