This is shown by a new EWI index. The energy system needs be well prepared for the ramp-up of electric vehicles (EVs). A new EWI index shows the most prepared European countries for the electrification of the transport sector.

Options for flexibility and decarbonization in an integrated energy system are shown in the final report of the Virtual Institute “Electricity to Gas and Heat”, in which the EWI was involved.

An infrastructure for transporting CO₂ between sources and sinks is needed to achieve climate neutrality. It is now important to put the legal framework in place, recommends a new EWI policy brief.

Energy prices could remain significantly above historical price levels in the medium term. The possible price development for natural gas, hard coal, oil, and electricity up to 2030 is shown in a new EWI report.

The new program for a PhD in Energy Economics with a three-year doctoral fellowship will start in October 2022. Interested applicants can apply now.

The ramp-up of hydrogen and electromobility as alternative powertrains in the transport sector was the topic of the recent EWI Insights event.

The German government supports the market ramp-up of green hydrogen. A study by the Institute of Energy Economics analyzes how costs differ and which criteria must be considered for funding.

Landlords will soon have to pay part of the CO2 price for natural gas and heating oil. This is intended to stimulate climate-friendly investments. But a CO2 price will not be enough to decarbonize the residential sector, a new EWI policy brief shows.

EWI researchers taught fundamentals of energy economics and discussed the role of electromobility in decarbonizing transport.
