Insights into pathways to decarbonization
Series: Pathways to decarbonization | Power
Without a decarbonized power sector, it’s virtually impossible for other industries to hit their Paris Climate Agreement targets. At the same time, such a transition must take place while preserving system resiliency and sustainability. In this installment of our Pathways to decarbonization series, we explore how the hard-to-abate power sector can tackle these challenges while simultaneously accelerating its path to net-zero.

Series: Pathways to decarbonization | Hydrogen
Despite hydrogen’s potential to help decarbonize the energy system, much work remains to ramp up its production. In this installment of our Pathways to decarbonization series, we look at the ways in which hydrogen can help accelerate the net-zero transition for high-emitting and hard-to-abate sectors.

Survey: Successfully shaping the heating transition
The decarbonization of the heat supply (heat transition) is a key project for achieving Germany's climate protection targets. In order to examine the current status of the decarbonization of the heat supply in Germany, we have conducted a study focusing on the challenges and progress made by the energy suppliers involved. It is therefore a survey of the status quo of the heating transition and transformation at the companies concerned.
