Key Points

  • The aim is to model renewable energy (RE) siting while incorporating CO2 budgets and assessing land use regulations.
  • Utilized a GIS-based approach for optimal RE siting.
  • Implemented a siting algorithm for identifying suitable locations.
  • Incorporated CO2 budgets into spatial planning logic.
  • Current land use regulations permit carbon-neutral electricity production.
  • Substantial landscape changes are essential to meet climate protection targets.

Abstract

• A GIS-based approach combined with a siting algorithm for optimal RE siting. • Incorporating CO2 budgets into the logic of spatial planning for REs. • Current land use regulations allow for the production of carbon-neutral electricity. • Achieving climate protection goals requires substantial changes to the landscape.
