    Abstract

    The dissertation is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the problematic of climate changes and the consequences for ecological policy. The point of interest lies in climate changes and their global and socioeconomic effects. International programmes and aims are explained in the paper. The most important programme is the so called Kyoto-Protocol, which was agreed in 1997 at the world climate conference in Kyoto. The Kyoto-Protocol sets binding emission goals of greenhouse gases for industrial nations between 2008 and 2012. Instruments for the reduction of greenhouse gases are the so called flexible mechanisms (CDM, JI, ET). The second part of the paper deals with the possibility of climate protection in industrial companies with the main focus on the use of renewable energy. Climate protection aims and demands of the industry in Austria are pointed out and consequences of the Emissions Trade Directive are described. The main part of the dissertation builds the description of the industrial climate protection potentials by the use of renewable energy in companies. Therefore some different renewable energies (biomass, biogas, photovoltaics, water power, thermal solar energy) are described and analysed in consideration of economic and ecological effects. Furthermore they are confronted with conventional energy systems. Moreover the technical potential of renewable energies in the industrial sector is shown. The end of the second part shows existing support programmes for the use of renewable energies.
