Regenerative Energie
To assure compliance with valid environmental protection legislation in Germany, it is necessary to treat exhaust air from mechanical-biological treatment plants (MBA) by regenerative-thermal oxidation (RTO).
Elimination of organic components in exhaust air by regenerative-thermal oxidation is highly efficient on the one hand, but on the other hand RTO-plants have a high energy consumption.
Based on experience with several installations we examined if there is an effective contribution to climate protection by the use of RTO. The study came to the conclusion that the use of RTO to clean exhaust air with a low concentration of VOC (volatile organic compounds) from MBA is counterproductive, since more greenhouse gases are generated by running the RTO-plant than are avoided by not cleaning the exhaust air. Only on high concentration of VOC in the exhaust air there is a positive contribution to avoid greenhouse gases. In between there is a grey area, that depends on current specific and technical circumstances like composition of the pollutants of the exhaust air and energy-efficiency of the RTO-plant.

In the context of the European Climate Law (EU) 2021/1119), the Governance Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and the Nature Restoration Regulation (EU) 2024/1991, the KAnG came into force on July 1, 2024.
Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft

This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
