    The specific objectives of the study are: (1) identification and analysis of the global availability, geographical spread and prices of critical metals and possible increasing pressure on the supply due to a growing demand through the rising uptake of certain innovative technologies; (2) prioritization of critical metals regarding growing demand and possible scarcities and analysis of recycling potential for the identified critical metals with high prioritization; (3) identification of framework conditions that could help to foster technologies that enable the implementation of closed-loop

    This report address two questions: What are the environmental, social and economic impacts of using alternative fuels compared with conventional fuels in cement manufacturing? How does the use of alternatives in cement manufacturing compare with other possible end-of-life options like recycling or disposal in landfills? Systematic reviews collate, analyze and synthesize the body evidence from both academia and practice on a topic. As a result, they provide a powerful tool in moving forward research, business practice and public policy.

    1. Steigender Energiebedarf und ein Recht auf Kühlung? Darf es ihn geben, den Anspruch auf eine Klimaanlage und einen Kühlschrank – ähnlich wie das Recht auf eine Heizung? 2. Kühle Kette für eine gesunde Versorgung Nach Schätzungen der Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) verderben durchschnittlich 30 Prozent, in tropischen Ländern sogar 50 Prozent der Lebensmittel mangels angemessener Lagerung. 3. Grüne Technik und Wertschöpfung Das Zauberwort heißt Ressourceneffizienz. Der Schlüssel in der Kältetechnik dafür sind natürliche Gase. 4.

    Objective

    Kühlschrank und Klimaanlage – sie stehen ganz oben auf der Wunschliste von Menschen in heißen Ländern. Bis zum Jahr 2030 rechnet die Internationale Energieagentur (IEA) mit einem viermal höheren Energiebedarf für Klimatisierung in den Entwicklungs- und Schwellenländern im Vergleich zu heute. Auch werden oft chemisch hergestellte Gase als Kühlmittel eingesetzt. Sie schädigen die Ozonschicht und treiben den Klimawandel voran. Grüne Technologien nutzen hingegen natürliche Gase zur Kälteerzeugung, sind energieeffizienter und können mit Sonnen- oder Windkraft betrieben werden.
