abstract = {National energy models provide decarbonization strategies.
Most national energy models focus on costs and greenhouse
gas emissions only. However, this focus carries the risk
that burdens shift to other environmental impacts. Energy
models have therefore been extended by life-cycle assessment
(LCA). Furthermore, deep decarbonization is only possible by
targeting all high-emission sectors. Thus, we present a
holistic national energy model that includes high-emission
sectors and LCA. The model provides detailed environmental
impacts for electricity, heat, and transport processes in
Germany for meeting the climate targets up to 2050. Our
results show that renewable energies and storage are key
technologies for decarbonized energy systems. Furthermore,
sector coupling is crucial and doubles electricity demand.
Our LCA shows that environmental impacts shift from
operation to infrastructure highlighting the importance of
an impact assessment over the full life cycle.
Decarbonization leads to many environmental cobenefits;
however, it also increases freshwater ecotoxicity and
depletion of metal and mineral resources. Thus, holistic
planning of decarbonization strategies should also consider
other environmental impacts.},
