Title: Heading Towards Sustainable Electricity Systems
Abstract: In the history of electricity systems in several countries different boundary conditions existed and exist with respect to price formation in the market. After the periods of state regulation and the first phase of liberalisation of the wholesale markets currently the electricity system faces the third huge challenge: the change towards a bidirectional system, which should be more democratic and sustainable. This process is currently under way in some countries as Germany, Austria, UK and California. And in these countries also a change in the principle how prices come about is already under way. A major reason for this development is that in recent years the electricity generation from variable renewable energy sources (RES) especially from wind and photovoltaic (PV) power plants increased considerably while on the other hand generation from nuclear and coal has already been reduced, respectively, in the case of coal a phase-out is discussed or has already been agreed on.
The final conclusion of this analysis is, that it will be necessary to accept a paradigm shift in our understanding of the whole electricity system where no longer the generators are the centre but the balancing groups respectively the supply companies. And finally we state that the evolution of such a creative system of integration of RES in Western Europe may also serve as a role model for electricity supply systems largely based on RES in other countries world-wide.

Title: Alternative energy systems in transport
Abstract: Fuels based on renewable energy are considered as an important mean to cope with environmental problems in transport. The core objective of this paper is to investigate the perspectives for fuels from biomass, renewable electricity and green hydrogen from economic and ecological points-of-view in a dynamic framework till 2050 for average European conditions.
The fuels investigated are:
- biofuels 1st generation (BF-1) as biodiesel from rapsmethylester (RME); bioethanol from wheat or corn; – biogas from organic waste, maize silage or grass;
- Biofuels 2nd generation as – biodiesel 2nd generation, Fischer-Tropsch (FT) diesel; – bioethanol 2nd generation from different types of lignocellulosic resources; – Synthetic natural gas (SNG);
- hydrogen from biomass as well as
- electricity from biomass;
The major results and conclusions are:
(vii) All analyzed fuels have lower CO2-emissions than gasoline. An additional problem for mobility with hydrogen and electricity are very high costs of the corresponding vehicles. By 2050 these costs could be reduced due to technological learning effects and efficient policy measures (e.g. CO2-based tax).• Since 2nd generation biofuels could enter the market between 2020 and 2030, 1st generation biofuels will remain in the market at least until 2030. However, if a CO2 based tax is introduced it is very likely that 1st generation biofuels could become irrelevant in the long term;
• With respect to hydrogen and electricity from RES: In 2010 and 2050 electricity is slightly favorable from ecological point-of-view given the same RES. Most favorable are wind and hydro followed by PV and biomass;
• Despite very good CO2 balances of hydrogen from renewable energy sources, use of hydrogen in a passenger cars will not become competitive before 2050 due to high capital costs;
The final conclusion is that fuels based on renewable energy play a significant role only if the proper mix of CO2-taxes, intensified R&D, and corresponding riding down the Learning Curve are timely implemented.
