Transformed emissions and energy conservation: lowering greenhouse gas discharge, boosting energy productivity

Despite a reported decrease in emissions from the building sector, annual emissions frequently surpass the limits set by the Climate Protection Act. Technological solutions to remedy this situation are available.

Transformed emissions and energy conservation: lowering greenhouse gas discharge, boosting energy productivity

In a significant development, researchers from Ariadne have released a report offering recommendations to the federal government for the energy transition in the building sector. The report, titled "Energiewende jetzt - Impulse aus der Wissenschaft," was published in 2025 as part of the Kopernikus Project Ariadne, based in Potsdam.

The report, written by a group of authors including Claudia Kemfert, Uwe Schneidewind, and others, provides valuable insights into the energy transition in the building sector. It is available for download as a PDF and can also be read online.

One of the key recommendations in the report is the consistent renovation of buildings as a necessary measure for the energy transition. This includes a rapid switch to fossil-free and more efficient heating systems. Homeowners could potentially save costs by investing in a cost-effective technological solution like a heat pump.

The report also highlights the importance of technological options to solve the problem of exceeding emission limits in the building sector. For instance, the expansion of the CO2 price will make fossil fuel heating more expensive, encouraging the use of cleaner alternatives.

The Umweltbundesamt reports a decrease in emissions in the building sector in recent years. However, the report notes that annual emission limits set by the Climate Protection Act for the building sector are regularly exceeded. Starting in 2027, the emissions trading system will be expanded to include the building and transport sectors across Europe, which is expected to help address this issue.

The report does not repeat earlier facts presented in the previous bullet points but serves as a comprehensive guide for the energy transition in the building sector. It is a valuable resource for policymakers, homeowners, and anyone interested in the topic.

The report "Energy Transition Now - Impulses from Science" is a timely and important contribution to the ongoing conversation about the energy transition in the building sector. It offers practical, actionable recommendations that can help drive forward the energy transition in a manner that is both effective and sustainable.
