With its pronounced industrial structure, the transformation toward a circular economy is of central importance for the economic location of Bavaria – and remains a major task. Despite significant gains in efficiency in recent years, Bavaria is yet to see a significant decline in resource consumption. The update of the “Figures, data, facts on resource efficiency in Bavaria” study, provides in-depth information on the topic.
Prognos will analyse the available data on resource consumption and raw materials as well as the economically relevant factors in Bavaria. The raw material information is then prepared and a potential analysis of efficiency measures is derived from the data. The aim is to create a catalogue of measures to enable the more efficient use of resources.
In the context of the analysis, available statistical data was evaluated and new indicators identified such as the circular material use rate or raw material-related greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, a series of interviews will be conducted and a literature analysis carried out.
The study results are intended to support actors in the Bavarian economy to develop measures that will permanently reduce the need for resources and thereby reduce strategic dependencies. In addition, the project will evaluate the existing offers of the Bavarian State Office for the Environment’s (LfU) Resource Efficiency Centre (REZ) and identify potential for further development of the available offer.

With green finance, greenhouse gases in Austria can be reduced by up to four per cent by 2040 – in the bond market alone. This is the result of our study commissioned by the Ministry for Climate Action.
German industry is dependent on raw materials and preliminary products from abroad. On behalf of the Netzwerk Zukunft der Industrie e. V., Prognos analyses the supply chains and provides recommendations for action.
The automotive industry is undergoing fundamental change. How does this effect employment? And what will it mean for the individual professions? We investigated this on behalf of the VDA.
Higher numbers of care-dependent persons and increasing costs - our aging population is putting long-term care insurance to the test. A new analysis shows what the future financial require-ments will be.
The skilled-worker shortage is only due to get worse in the future. Our Potential Index shows: Increased digitalisation can help to cushion the negative consequences of the skilled-worker shortage in Germany.
On behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, we calculated the investments that will be required to restructure capital stock in the course of the envisaged net zero transition.
A race to catch up - this is what Europe needs if it is not to be left behind by the USA and China. In the SPIEGEL guest article, Christian Böllhoff calls for a new match plan with clear priorities for the new EU legislative period.
The Central Innovation Programme for SMEs (ZIM) strengthens the innovative power of small and medium-sized enterprises. This is shown by our evaluation for the BMWK.
In uncertain times, there is a growing demand for orientation. PEO® delivers independent figures. Based on our wolrd economy model we project the developments until 2045.
Growth in the German economy benefits the whole of Europe. Our study for the vbw shows that this is due to the size of the economy and its strong foreign trade networks.
