Vita

Jule Jeschonowski-Papstein, born in Nettetal in 1995, has been a scholarship holder at the INZIN Institute in cooperation with Veolia since October 2021. Previously, she worked as a research assistant at the University of Wuppertal in the teaching and research area of construction management and construction industry in the field of modern construction management as well as the digitization and optimization of processes within the framework of BIM. She studied industrial engineering with a specialization in production/logistics and manufacturing at the HS Niederrhein and HS Hamm-Lippstadt. During her master’s degree, she taught statistics as a lecturer and also gained practical experience at Daimler, Deutsche Bahn and Andritz Küsters in the areas of project management and process optimization.

Research topic

In contrast to the linear product life cycle, a material or object in a circular economy becomes the starting product for a new object or material at the end of its useful life. A central aspect of this circular economy is ecodesign. Through a systematic and comprehensive approach to product design, eco-design reduces the environmental impact over the entire life cycle and is therefore one of the measures that attempt to decouple economic growth from resource consumption. There is a great need for research in this area, as previous political and legal efforts have mainly focused on the energy efficiency of energy-related products, but ecodesign also includes many different components (e.g. reparability, recyclability, minimum service life, etc.) that have received little attention to date.

Vita

Sarah Friese, born in 1993 in Hildesheim, has been a scholarship holder and consultant at the INZIN Institute since May 2022 and is working on the project “Modellvorhaben der Raumordnung (MORO): Shaping climate change and the energy transition – preparatory study for the Spatial Planning Report 2024”. Previously, she was a junior project manager at the Thuringian Renewable Energy Network (ThEEN). As part of this competence network, she was responsible for the association’s work, the organization of specialist events and the project management of smart city and environmental heat projects. Mrs. Friese studied “Renewable Energy Management” at the Erfurt University of Applied Sciences from 2018 – 2020 after completing her Bachelor’s degree in “Industrial Engineering for Sustainable Technologies” in 2018.

Research topic

The spatial planning system in Germany is based on three levels: federal, state and regional. In accordance with Section 1 ROG, federal spatial planning provides the legal basis for regional planning based on guiding principles and principles. State planning specifies these requirements before regional planning adapts them to the regional parameters. The European level, which lays down binding guidelines, is superordinate to this. German spatial planning has a large number of planning instruments that have already been in use for several years, but an evaluation of the effectiveness of regional spatial planning after the end of the process rarely takes place. This raises the question of the extent to which nationwide strategies for renewable energies diffuse across the various planning levels and are reflected in spatial developments.

Vita

Konstantin Saure has been a scholarship holder and lecturer at the INZIN Institute since January 2023 and is develops a “Resource strategy for the state capital Düsseldorf” as part of his scholarship at Stadtwerke Düsseldorf. During his Master’s degree, he worked as a research assistant on the state-funded project “WIR!-Bündnis REEgion now – Regionales Wertschöpfungsbündnis Lifelines in NWB”. He completed his Master’s degree in the interdisciplinary course “Energy Efficiency of Technical Systems” at Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences. Prior to this, he completed his Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering at the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences.

Research topic

Globally, cities are responsible for a large proportion of resource consumption, CO2 emissions and around half of the waste generated. Due to the growing world population and urbanization, these effects will continue to increase in the future. In order to reduce resource consumption and emissions, a transformation from the current predominantly linear economy to a circular one is necessary. In cooperation with Stadtwerke Düsseldorf, scenarios for the potential development of material flows are being developed and the prospects for an urban circular economy evaluated. Strategies are derived from the scenarios, which provide municipal utilities with recommendations for the direction of their business models.

Vita

Andreas Hübner, born in Opladen in 1966, has been a lecturer in municipal climate protection since 2015 and a research assistant at the Chair of Resource and Energy Systems at the Faculty of Spatial Planning at TU Dortmund University since October 2022. He completed his studies in spatial planning from 1986 to 1991 and then joined Gertec GmbH Ingenieurgesellschaft in Essen in 1992, where he has been a partner since 2002 and Managing Director since 2015.

Special areas of focus are municipal and regional energy concepts as instruments of municipal climate neutrality strategies, the climate-neutral development of new residential and commercial areas and the design of transformation processes in municipal climate protection.

Research topic

Over the past three years, numerous major cities in Germany have developed strategies to achieve climate neutrality on the territory of these cities.

The implementation of these climate neutrality strategies is now imminent and it is already becoming apparent that the administrative structures and organizational framework conditions in place to date are not having the necessary impact that can be influenced by the municipality

  • in terms of quantity (considerable greenhouse gas savings in cooperation with the municipal community, far beyond the current scope) and
  • in terms of the time required (achieving climate neutrality in the period from 2035 to 2045 at the latest)

.

On the one hand, the research project aims to investigate

  • which institutional framework conditions can be used to achieve a significantly higher impact in the implementation of municipal climate neutrality strategies and
  • how these should be designed in conjunction with local political control and the tasks of the municipal administration.
