Project Concepts for Climate Action (local and regional)

Project start 01/1980

ifeu has developed climate concepts for cities and communities since the late 1980’s. The proposed recommendations are based on detailed analysis (CO 2 -balance, stakeholder analysis, opportunities) a

Project Electricity model (ELMO)

The present UMBERTO based “master network” for the modelling of grid power was de-veloped in 2001 by ifeu and has been maintained and updated on a regular basis. The network model comprises basic powe

Project GHG balancing assistance for climate protection in municipalities in Baden-Württemberg

Since October 2015

Energy and GHG balances are used to systematically record the current status of a municipality in terms of final energy consumption, use of renewable energies and greenhouse gas emissions, and to allo

Project My eRoads – Online consulting tool for truck electrification

The "My eRoads" online tool enables truck operators to assess the potential for using electric trucks in their fleet based on specific usage profiles and vehicle models available on the market. As res

Project Customer-specific LCA tools

Standard software for LCA is often quite complex and may be challenging to handle for non-experts. In contrast, excel-based life cycle assessment tools offer an easy and rapid way to calculate and mea

Project Evaluation and monitoring of the funding scheme Energy Savings Meter

May 2016 - May 2019

With the adoption of the 2010 energy concept, the German Federal Government set the goal of a 20% reduction of the primary energy consumption in Germany by the year 2020, and a 50% reduction target by

Project Oil and gas production model

The model for the characterisation of upstream supply chains for crude oil and natural gas is primarily based on data available from the Ecoinvent 3 Database. These data are periodically updated both

Project Iron and steel production model

A detailed model of an integrated steel production plant (including sintering and cokery) was developed at ifeu in recent years. In addition to the actual steelworks, it include upstream chain process

Project Refinery and petrochemical industry modelling

The ifeu refinery model was developed in the late 1990s based on the requirement for consistent life cycle data for refinery products, which are essential for Life Cycle Assessment modelling of a wide
