Universität Leipzig: Research

Portrait

Our research group is aligned with the future strategy of the faculty, emphasizing sustainability research in economics. In addition to its disciplinary roots in economics, our research is often based on interdisciplinary collaboration.

Our Research

We research the interactions and trade-offs between climate protection, nature conservation and economic development and aim to contribute to the development of economically viable approaches to solve the climate and biodiversity crisis.

Research Projects

We are part of the joint project ASMASYS II on the assessment of marine CO2 removal options (synthesis, scenarios and regulation) with a sub-project on economic assessment. We are also involved in the Proposed Cluster of Excellence Breathing Nature and the research training group ECO-N.

Graphical representation of ocean-based methods of CO2 removal from the atmosphere: Alkalinisation by spilling minerals from a ship, dredger on the beach and a pipe from a factory, carbon storage in the coastal zone by mangroves, salt marshes and seagrass meadows, artificial upwelling by specific tubes in the sea, CO2 removal from the air by industrial processes or plants with subsequent CO2 sequestration as carbonate in basalt crust and CO2 storage in sandstone, Figure: Rita Erven, CDRmare/GEOMAR

ASMASYS II - F: Economic Valuation

The sub-project on economic assessment within ASMASYS II aims to develop an economic assessment framework for marine CO2 removal methods, taking into account the interactions between the atmosphere and the biosphere.
