Member States' use of revenues from the auctioning of EU ETS allowances, 2020-2024

This metadata overs the dataset containing information on how EU Member States spend the revenues from auctioning EU ETS emission allowances in one calendar year. More information on the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) can be found here. The revenues from the auctioning of these allowances represent an increasing income source for Member States. This data is being collected under Article 19 of the Governance Regulation. The Regulation’s aim is to help the EU reach its 2030 climate and energy targets by setting common rules for planning, reporting and monitoring. The Regulation also ensures that EU planning and reporting are synchronised with the ambition cycles under the Paris Agreement. Reporting is mandatory for EU Member States. Some information is only mandatory to report if the data is available.

Total suspended matter, particulate organic matter and particulate inorganic matter from discrete water samples during RV MARIA S MERIAN cruise MSM129/1

This dataset was collected during the cruise MSM129/1 with RV MARIA S. MERIAN from Warnemünde, Germany to St. John's, Canada. It contains suspended particulate matter, particulate organic matter and particulate inorganic matter measurements [mg/l] from water samples collected from the seawater supply (Reinseewassersystem, RSWS) to calibrate the turbidity data of the RSWS system. The outflow of a PocketFerrybox that was connected to the seawater supply in the hangar was used for sampling. It takes a substantial amount of time for the water to reach the hanger from the intake point. The time delay between the sensor readings of the RSWS and the PocketFerrybox was determined and the timestamps of the water sampling were adjusted accordingly. Given latitute and longitude refer to this corrected timestamp. The original time of water sampling in the hangar is given as an additional column with the comment time of sampling. To obtain suspended particulate matter concentrations, water samples were filtered onboard through 0.7 μm pore size, glass fiber filters (Whatmann GF/F, 47 mm) under low vacuum. Filters were frozen immediately at -80 °C until gravimetric analysis in the laboratory at ICBM, Wilhelmshaven according to IOCCG recommendations.

Use cases from the German NTSPortal on the systematic use of high-resolution mass spectrometry non-target screening data in environmental monitoring and chemicals management

Background Society aims for a pollutant-free environment, reflected in initiatives under the European Green Deal, which seek to reduce hazardous substances and promote safe, sustainable chemical use. Comprehensive exposure data are needed to identify sources, understand mixtures and eliminate sources of chemical pollution. High-resolution mass spectrometry non-target screening (HRMS NTS) is increasingly used in environmental regulatory context to chemically characterise the environment as completely as possible and retrospectively screen for known and emerging substances. Results This study provides use cases for monitoring and chemicals management with data from the German NTSPortal, a database and visualisation tool for HRMS NTS data from surface water and suspended particulate matter of major German rivers. Its internal spectral library enables substance identification comparable to standardised target analysis, supporting regulatory acceptance of HRMS NTS data for prioritisation and mixture assessment. To demonstrate its potential to research and regulation, we characterised the spatial and temporal distribution of riverine chemical mixtures and present selected use cases relevant to EU environmental, emission, and chemical legislation. Despite pronounced spatial variability, mixture composition based on presence–absence data remained stable over time, with 855 of 1721 substances detected at least once and 247 occurring ubiquitously. Declining trends for regulated substances such as carbendazim and climbazole illustrate the effectiveness of regulatory measures. Overall, the results showed that NTS data repositories can help overcome fragmented exposure information and enable more consistent use of monitoring data across policy areas, including evaluation of the revised Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive and One Health concepts. Conclusions Data from the German NTSPortal enabled a multi-matrix and temporal characterisation of riverine chemical mixtures, revealing both stable mixture compositions over time and persistent, catchment-specific substances. These data facilitated high-resolution mixture assessments across space and time, alongside trend analyses that meet regulatory needs in environmental monitoring and chemical risk assessment. Further temporal, spatial, chemical and matrix-spanning expansion of HRMS NTS repositories will enhance their value for environmental monitoring programmes. Strengthening interoperability, implementing FAIR data principles, and developing advanced tools for prioritisation, quantification and toxicity prediction, including AI-based approaches, will be crucial to fully realise the regulatory potential of NTS portals in the future. © The Author(s) 2026.

Horizont Europa, Rahmenprogramm für Forschung und Innovation (2021-2027), Bringing Lithium-Ion Battery Waste tozero

tozero is committed to its mission to truly bring lithium-ion battery waste to zero. With its novel hydrometallurgical (i.e. wet chemical)battery recycling approach, it can maximize the recovery of critical raw materials (lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, and graphite)from both lithium-ion batteries that have reached their end of life, and scrap created during the production of new batteries.Proven on a daily basis in an operational pilot plant (commissioned in July 2023) close to Munich, Germany, tozero already now fulfillsthe recovery rates for critical raw materials from lithium-ion battery waste required by the recently enforced EU Battery Directive for2027 and 2031 and established itself as one of the leading battery recycling startups in Europe. In addition, the use of less aggressivechemicals than competitors and a mostly closed circular production process reduces the carbon footprint for batteries using tozero’srecycled material compared to batteries using mined materials by up to 80%.Considering an initial pre-seed funding of EUR 3.5mn in 2022, receiving the EIC grant would allow to significantly accelerate tozero´sscale up to industry-scale commercialization and bridge the gap for the next funding round. First, this includes additional funds fromthe EIC for the purchasing and in-house optimization of chemical reactors tailored to the innovative hydrometallurgical process oftozero. Second, it allows us to largely automate our processing and prepare for industry-scale processing. Third, it supports in thecreation of a full lifecycle assessment that is required to officially accredit our CO2e savings and helps to identify the largest lever tofurther reduce our environmental footprint. All three aspects combined allow to reach an industrial scale proof of our operations andunlock a large equity financing round in 2026.

European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) data from the Union Registry, Sep. 2026

This is the metadata for the EU Emission Trading System (EU ETS). EU ETS aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions cost-effectively by setting a cap on the total amount of emissions from covered sectors. These sectors include power and heat generation, energy-intensive industries aviation and shipping within the European Economic Area. Under the system, companies receive or purchase emission allowances, each permitting the release of one tonne of CO₂ or equivalent gases. Businesses can trade these allowances, creating a financial incentive to reduce emissions. If a company emits less than its allowance, it can sell the surplus; if it exceeds the cap, it must buy more or face penalties. The cap is reduced annually, ensuring a steady decline in emissions over time. The system has gone through several phases, with the current Phase 4 running from 2021 to 2030. It also supports innovation and investment in low-carbon technologies through dedicated funds. Overall, the EU ETS plays a key role in helping the EU reach its climate neutrality goal by 2050. Data about the EU emission trading system (ETS). The EU ETS data viewer provides aggregated data on emissions and allowances, by country, sector and year. The data mainly comes from the Union Registry. Additional information on auctioning and scope corrections is included.

Schwerpunktprogramm (SPP) 1685: Ecosystem nutrition: forest strategies for limited phosphorus resources; Ökosystemernährung: Forststrategien zum Umgang mit limitierten Phosphor-Ressourcen, Regulation of microbial activities, structure and function of microbial communities

In the frame of the project microbial turnover processes of phosphorous shall be investigated in forest soils and drivers for the corresponding populations as well as their activity pattern shall be described. Furthermore microbial transport and uptake systems for phosphorous should be characterized to understand the competition between plants and microbes for phosphorous in more detail, in relation to the availability of phosphorous and other nutrients. Therefore it is planned to investigate different soil compartments with different nutrient amounts (litter layer - rhizosphere - bulk soil). To reach the described goal molecular metagenomic methods will be used to characterize the structure and function of microbial communities as well as to describe the regulation of selected important pathways. In addition quantitative real time PCR and enzymatic measurements will be used to describe the abundance and activity of the corresponding populations and to describe their relevance for P turnover in the different soil compartments under investigation. With this we hope to reconstruct mainly the microbial phosphorous cycle and give important data to improve the model development of P dynamics in forest soils.

Kombination der Niederschlagsschätzung von opportunistischen Sensoren und geostationären Satelliten

Der Umsetzungsplan der COP27 enthält eine sehr klare Aussage. "Ein Drittel der Welt, darunter 60% von Afrika, hat keinen Zugang zu Frühwarn- und Klimainformationsdiensten". Dies gilt vor allem für niederschlagsbezogene Warnungen. Der Grund dafür ist das fast vollständige Fehlen von Wetterradaren auf in Afrika und die mangelnde Dichte von Niederschlagsmessstationen. Im Gegensatz dazu sind geostationäre Satelliten (GEOsat) und potentiell auch kommerzielle Richtfunkstrecken (CML) und Satelliten-Mikrowellenverbindungen (SML) nahezu in Echtzeit verfügbar und können zur Niederschlagsschätzung verwendet werden. Die quantitative Niederschlagsschätzung (QPE) aus GEOsat-Daten ist jedoch aufgrund der indirekten Beziehung zwischen der Niederschlagsmenge und den tatsächlichen Messungen, die im sichtbaren und infraroten Spektrum durchgeführt werden, eine Herausforderung. Für die QPE aus SML- und CML-Daten, insbesondere auf der Grundlage groß angelegter CML-Studien in Europa, wurde gezeigt, dass sie mit der QPE aus Radar- und Regenmessern gleichwertig sein kann. In Ermangelung von Referenzdaten, wie es in Entwicklungsländern häufig der Fall ist, sind die bestehenden maßgeschneiderten semi-empirischen Prozessierungsmethoden jedoch oft nicht direkt anwendbar. GEOsat-Daten haben das Potenzial, die CML/SML-Prozessierung in diesen Regionen zu unterstützen, und umgekehrt könnte die CML/SML-QPE zur Anpassung der GEOsat-QPE verwendet werden. Das übergeordnete Ziel des Projekts MERGOSAT ist daher die Entwicklung neuartiger Methoden zur Erstellung verbesserter Echtzeit-Niederschlagskarten für datenarme Regionen durch eine Kombination von GEOsat-Daten und CML/SML-QPE. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, werden wir uns auf drei Aspekte konzentrieren: 1) Schaffung einer Grundlage für allgemeinere CML/SML-QPE-Modelle durch Verbesserung des Verständnisses der Prozesse die die EM-Ausbreitung von CML und SML beeinflussen. 2) Entwicklung geeigneter CML/SML-QPE-Modelle, die in datenarmen Regionen anwendbar sind, aufbauend auf den neuen Erkenntnissen über WAA und DSD und unter innovativer Nutzung von GEOsat-Daten. 3) Verbesserung der GEOsat-QPE mit DeepLearning-Methoden und Entwicklung eines neuen Verfahrens, das die Zusammenführung mit CML/SML-Daten mit sub-stündlicher Auflösung ermöglicht. Wir werden unsere Forschung auf unser umfangreiches Archiv von CML-Daten, auch aus Afrika, und die zunehmende Verfügbarkeit von SML-Daten stützen. Zusätzliche Daten aus Feldexperimenten werden mit modernsten Simulationen der EM-Ausbreitung kombiniert. Darüber hinaus werden wir neueste Techniken des DeepLearnings und unsere Hochleistungs-Recheninfrastruktur nutzen. In Kombination mit den erweiterten Fähigkeiten des kürzlich gestarteten MTG GEOsat wird uns dies ermöglichen, unsere Ziele erfolgreich anzugehen und die methodische Grundlage zu schaffen, die erforderlich ist, um datenarme Regionen mit verbesserten und zuverlässigen Niederschlagsinformationen nahezu in Echtzeit zu versorgen.

Distribution and concentration of nutrients, carbon compounds and methane in water samples in the southern German Bight during RV HEINCKE cruise HE673/2, MOSES Sternfahrt 15 in November 2025

Previous Sternfahrten were mainly conducted in spring and summer. To cover the seasonal aspects more thoroughly, including a winter situation, this cruise was conducted in late autumn (20 -22 November 2025 ). We used the RV Heincke (cruise HE673/2) instead of the RV Uthörn. The Heincke's draught is greater, so we could not reach all of our previous stations. Surface and bottom water samples were taken with a rosette.

Karte der oberflächennahen Rohstoffe der Bundesrepublik Deutschland 1:200.000 (KOR200) - CC 6318 Frankfurt a.M.-Ost

Die Karte oberflächennaher Rohstoffe 1:200.000 (KOR 200) ist ein Kartenwerk, das gemeinsam von der Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe und den Staatlichen Geologischen Diensten der Länder (SGD) im Auftrag des Bundesministers für Wirtschaft und Arbeit auf Beschluss der Länderwirtschafts­minister vom 22. Juni 1984 erarbeitet wird. Das Kartenwerk folgt dem Blattschnitt der topographischen Übersichtskarte 1:200.000 (TÜK 200) und besteht aus 55 Kartenblättern mit jeweils einem Erläuterungsheft. Es erfolgt eine Bestandsaufnahme, Beschreibung, Darstellung und Dokumentation der Vorkommen und Lagerstätten von mineralischen Rohstoffe, die üblicherweise im Tagebau bzw. an oder nahe der Erdoberfläche gewonnen werden. Im Besonderen sind dies Industrieminerale, Steine und Erden, Torfe, Braunkohle, Ölschiefer und Solen. Die Darstellung der oberflächennahen Rohstoffe und die zusätzlichen schriftlichen Informationen sind für die Erarbeitung überregionaler, bundesweiter Planungsunterlagen, die die Nutzung oberflächennaher mineralischer Rohstoffe berühren, unentbehrlich. Auf der Karte sind neben den umgrenzten, je nach Rohstoff farblich unterschiedlich dargestellten Lagerstätten- bzw. Rohstoffflächen "Abbaustellen" (=Betriebe) bzw. "Schwerpunkte mehrerer Abbaustellen" mit je einem Symbol dargestellt. Die Eintragungen in der Karte werden ergänzt durch Texterläuterungen. Die Erläuterungsbände haben üblicherweise einen Umfang von 40 - 80 Seiten und sind derzeit nur in der gedruckten Ausgabe der Karte verfügbar. Der Text ist gegliedert in: - Einführung - Beschreibung der Lagerstätten und Vorkommen nutzbarer Gesteine - Rohstoffwirtschaftliche Bewertung der Lagerstätten und Vorkommen oberflächennaher Rohstoffe im Blattgebiet - Verwertungsmöglichkeiten der im Blattgebiet vorkommenden nutzbaren Gesteine - Schriftenverzeichnis - Anhang (u. a. mit Generallegende und Blattübersicht) Die KOR 200 stellt somit die Rohstoffpotentiale in Deutschland in bundesweit vergleichbarer Weise dar und liefert eine Grundlage für künftige Such- und Erkundungsarbeiten sowie einen Beitrag zur Sicherung der Rohstoffversorgung.
