Green Banking is the first guide encompassing all the disciplines necessary to realize renewable energy projects. This book focuses on cost-competitive and mature technologies, and on the processes enabling to develop, finance and execute such utility-scale projects. The book starts with the aspects relevant for every form of renewable energy. It covers essential themes such as the role of renewables amid a changing energy world, the importance of the regulatory regime, its social acceptance and bankability criteria, to name only a few. Chapters describe project financings vehicles for a range of renewable energy technologies including solar photovoltaic power plants, onshore wind farms and offshore wind farms. The book give readers a unique perspective on how renewable energy projects are realized, and is a go-to reference manual for understanding how the different project stakeholders act. All of the articles are provided by authors with an ample experience in renewable energies and many years experience. This book is especially useful for people working in this industry or students willing to get better knowledge out of their field of experience.

It’s now or never. The goal of achieving global climate neutrality is essential for ecological, economic and social reasons and requires immediate and decisive action from politicians and society. Carbon Free summarizes the building blocks we need to successfully manage the energy transition. Replete with international examples, the book’s first part explores the transformation of the energy markets, necessary accompanying redistributions, the often neglected issue of global population development, but also the ethical and political framework conditions under which the energy transition should take place. Part II deals with sector-specific topics including renewable energies, heat pumps, geothermal energy and solar thermal energy. Levelized costs of energy in the context of innovation promotion and the financing method of project financing are presented. The chapters in this part discuss implementation of strategic energy partnerships and how to shape future regulatory steps. The book’s third part then goes on to discuss the available toolbox, with contributions on the technical and economic perspectives of green hydrogen, grid infrastructures, digitalization as well as the circular economy. This book will benefit both scholars and practitioners with its unique overview of the elements that need to be taken into account in order for the energy transition to succeed.

Diploma Thesis from the year 2001 in the subject Psychology - Developmental Psychology, grade: 1,0, Free University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: In this diploma thesis I want to consider several approaches in the area of moral development research.Given the theory of Lawrence Kohlberg, young children (younger than 10 years of age) seem to stay completely under the constraints of authorities and rules. According to Kohlberg, children's social judgments and behaviors are determined by instrumental aims to satisfy their own needs and wishes, or to avoid punishment. In this regard, the helping of others or meeting the needs of others is only motivated by instrumental considerations. Thus, in Kohlberg's view young children are not able to think or to act in a genuinely moral way. In reaction to Kohlberg, other researchers have suggested that young children are capable to make genuinely moral judgments and to act in a moral way. Eisenberg (e.g. 1986) has suggested that young children can have empathic or altruistic feelings which lead them to conduct prosocial acts. Other researchers (e.g. Keller, 1996; Nunner-Winkler, 1993) assert that children under the age of ten years are able to understand and feel moral emotions, which they consider as constitutive or as indicators for morality. Turiel and his associates (e.g. Turiel, 1983) suggest that even children at about 2 years of age are able to differentiate between a moral, conventional, and personal domain of social knowledge, and that children subordinate the importance of personal and conventional rules under the importance of moral rules. These approaches to the morality of young children revealed differing results to differing aspects of morality. The aim of my work is to examine the above mentioned approaches in order to evaluate the obvious differences between their obtained results and the results of Kohlberg. My questions are: Is Kohlberg s approach of using authority dilemmas appropriate to investigate children s moral reasoning? To what extent do the results of the researchers, who claim an early emergence of morality in children s development, disprove Kohlberg s claims of children s dependency and moral immaturity with regard to authority rules? Where are the boundaries of the presented approaches?

Welche Voraussetzungen müssen erfüllt sein, damit ein Biogas-Vorhaben erfolgreich umgesetzt werden kann? Rechtliche Durchsetzbarkeit und Verlässlichkeit von Verträgen sowie technische Bewährtheit sind die Voraussetzung für eine erfolgreiche Finanzierung und wirtschaftliche Rentabilität. Daher bietet dieses Buch erstmals einen umfassenden Überblick über die technischen, rechtlichen und wirtschaftlichen Aspekte von Biogas-Vorhaben. Ausgewiesene Experten aus Forschung und Praxis beleuchten die verschiedenen Teilaspekte.

Das Buch richtet sich an Studierende und Lehrende im Bereich Umweltökonomie und Erneuerbare Energien, aber auch an Praktiker, die sich mit den rechtlichen, technischen und wirtschaftlichen Fragestellungen im Rahmen von Wasserkraftprojekten beschäftigen. Dieses Buch ist aus der Wahrnehmung entstanden, dass es eines gemeinsamen Verständnisses und konzertierten Vorgehens von Vertretern aus Recht, Technik und Wirtschaft bedarf, um Wasserkraftprojekte umzusetzen. Daher wird in dieser Publikation der Weg beschritten, verschiedene Experten aus den genannten Bereichen zu Wort kommen zu lassen, so dass in der Gesamtschau vermittelt wird, welche Aspekte bei der Realisierung von Wasserkraftprojekten zu beachten sind. Der Anspruch des Buches ist es aufzuzeigen, welche technischen und rechtlichen Voraussetzungen zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt erfüllt sein müssen, um ein Wasserkraftprojekt über die Finanzierungsmethode einer Projektfinanzie­rung zu realisieren. Und weiter soll durch den Interdisziplinären Ansatz erreicht werden, dass der Leser für die Anforderungen der verschiedenen Teilbereiche sensibilisiert wird.

Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit Biokraftstoffen und Biokraftstoffprojekten. Die Autoren zeigen auf, welche rechtlichen, agrarischen, ökologischen und ökonomischen Rahmenbedingungen von Biokraftstoffen beachtet werden müssen. Die Betrachtung dieser Rahmenbedingungen und weiterer – eher anlagenbezogener – Faktoren ermöglicht es dann, Rückschlüsse auf die Realisierung von Biokraftstoffvorhaben zu ziehen. Besonderes Augenmerk wird dabei auf den sensiblen Themenkomplex der Nachhaltigkeit von Biokraftstoffen gerichtet. Die anhaltende Diskussion unerwünschter sozialer, ökologischer und ökonomischer Effekte hat zu neuen und bislang nicht abschließend definierten gesellschaftlichen und politischen Ansprüchen an die Biokraftstoffindustrie geführt.
