Greenhouse gas emissions were 3.3 percent lower than in 2011 (CO2 emissions \u20133.7 percent). The decline was driven by a reduction in fossil fuel consumption and an increase in the use of renewables (especially hydropower). The Austrian Kyoto target of reducing emissions to 68.8 million tons CO2 equivalents could not be achieved solely by domestic measures. In 2012, the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions showed again for industrial and commercial producers (31.2 percent) and the transport sector (27.3 percent). This report focuses on the (potential) economic co-benefits of an increased use of renewables and surveys research on the employment effects of renewable energy technologies. Co-benefits may improve the social acceptance of the support of renewables, thereby enlarging the basis for intensified climate protection.","onlinedate":"2014-07-17 02:00:00","lang":"German","publication_series":"","publication_date":"20140701","publication_date_year":"","publication_date_full":false,"publication_num_pages":"","keywords":"[\"Treibhausgase Emissionen Besch\u00e4ftigungseffekte Erneuerbare Energie\"]","jelcodes":"[]","related_publications":"[]","pdf":428275,"zip":null,"link":"","monthly_report":true,"monthly_report_main":false,"monthly_report_volume":"87","monthly_report_pages":"493-509","monthly_report_pages_sort":"493","issue":"7","journal":"WIFO-Monatsberichte","publisher":"","invisible":false,"external":false,"embargo_date":null,"types":[44312],"research_groups":[3655],"collaboration":"","persons":[3652,3671,3675,3711,3853],"persons_data":"[{\"personId\":3652,\"personName\":\"Claudia Kettner\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":3671,\"personName\":\"Angela K\u00f6ppl\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":3675,\"personName\":\"Kurt Kratena\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":3711,\"personName\":\"Ina Meyer\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":3853,\"personName\":\"Franz Sinabell\",\"organisationNames\":[]}]","clients":[],"subclients":[],"partners":[],"topics":[],"host_publication_title":"","host_publication_subtitle":"","place_of_publication":"","host_publication_editors":"[]","type_description":"","output_media":"","chapter":"","article_number":"","scientific_assistance":"[]","scientific_review":"[]","version":"","release_date":null,"expiration_date":null,"surveyor":"","research_assistance":"","edv":"","additional_info_de":"","additional_info_en":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
