PublicationWie die Energiewende trotz des steigenden Rohstoffbedarfes gelingen kann( 2023)
;Haendel, MichaelDie Energiewende, welche aufgrund des voranschreitenden Klimawandels notwendig ist, erfordert den Einsatz neuer Technologien mit erhöhtem Rohstoffbedarf, um die ambitionierten Ziele der Klimapolitik zu erreichen. Doch wie können wir gewährleisten, dass die potenziell kritischen Rohstoffe auch in Zukunft zur Verfügung stehen? -
PublicationA forecast on future raw material demand and recycling potential of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehiclesThe market for electromobility has grown constantly in the last years. To ensure a future supply of raw materials for the production of new batteries for electric vehicles, it is essential to estimate the future demand for battery metals. This study focuses on the future demand for electric vehicle battery cathode raw materials lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese by considering different technology and growth scenarios. The results show that in 2040 the future material demand for lithium, cobalt, and nickel for Lithium-Ion Batteries in electric vehicles exceeds current raw material production. Depending on the growth and technology scenario, the future demand for lithium and cobalt exceeds today's production by up to 8 times in 2040. Nickel exceeds today's production in one scenario. For manganese, future demand in 2040 remains far below today's production. The recycling potential for lithium and nickel is more than half the raw material demand for Lithium-Ion Batteries in 2040. For cobalt, the recycling potential even exceeds the raw material demand in 2040. In conclusion, it remains a challenge for the industry to massively scale up resource production and focus on the recycling of battery metals in the future to meet the increasing consumption of electromobility.

PublicationRohstoffe für Zukunftstechnologien 2021(Deutsche Rohstoffagentur, 2021)
;Haendel, MichaelTippner, MaxDie neue Studie "Rohstoffe für Zukunftstechnologien 2021" wurde durch das Fraunhofer-Institut für System- und Innovationsforschung ISI sowie das Fraunhofer-Institut für Zuverlässigkeit und Mikrointegration IZM im Auftrag der DERA erstellt. In der Studie werden 33 Zukunftstechnologien im Detail betrachtet. In unterschiedlichen Szenarien wird untersucht, welche Impulse eine künftige industrielle Nutzung von Zukunftstechnologien auf die Rohstoffnachfrage auslöst und auf welche Rohstoffe solche Innovationen besonders angewiesen sind. -
PublicationEcodesign preparatory study on mobile phones, smartphones and tablets(Amt für Veröffentlichungen, 2021)
;Prewitz, CarolinAccording to the Ecodesign Working plan 2016-19, "Given their specificity, a separate track is proposed for ICT products ..., that will also fully take into account their circular economy potential, which is particularly relevant in the case of mobile / smart phones". Within this context, DG GROW launched this preparatory study on mobile phones, smartphones and tablets in order to assess the feasibility of proposing Ecodesign and/or Energy Labelling requirements for these product groups. Preparatory studies aim to assess and specify generic or specific ecodesign measures for improving the environmental performance of a defined product group, sometimes in combination with energy label criteria. The ecodesign preparatory studies therefore provide the scientific foundation for defining these generic and/or specific ecodesign requirements as well as energy labelling criteria. The overall objective is to clearly define the product scope, analyse the current environmental impacts of these products and related systems (extended product scope) and assess the existing improvement potential of any measures. In particular, aspects relevant to the circular economy, are in the scope. The central element of the MEErP (Kemna 2011; Mudgal et al. 2013), being the underlying assessment methodology, is to prioritise today’s possible improvement options from a Least Life Cycle Cost (LLCC) perspective. Identification of the improvement options are based on possible design innovations, Best Available Technologies (BAT) for the short term and Best Not yet Available Technologies (BNAT) for long term, which can help in mitigating the impacts of these products. Policy options are assessed through a scenario analysis and the different outcomes have to be evaluated from the perspective of the EU targets, taking into account potential impacts on the competitiveness of enterprises in the EU and on the consumers. -
PublicationEnergy saving potential of information and communication technology( 2015)Information and communication technology (ICT) strongly contributed to the rising global electricity demand in past years. On the other hand, technology dynamics produces a large potential for energy saving which is being discussed under the heading 'green IT'. In this paper, we use a bottom-up stock modelling approach to determine the net impact of these opposite trends on the future development of electricity consumption in Germany. We show that there is a high technological improvement potential to reduce electricity consumption for ICT equipment, which can at least slow down the consumption increase or even stabilise consumption until 2020. However, whether these saving potentials will be exploited, also depends on the policies which countries introduce to stimulate the uptake of very efficient products and network solutions.
