Admission to the funding program is one of the most important awards for young scientists in NRW.
Prof. Wolfgang Ketter is honored for his research on the electrification of public transport in Rotterdam and on agents’ price expectations in online auctions.
The costs for the production of green hydrogen show a high range worldwide. Germany does not have an ideal starting position in the international market for green hydrogen. In the short to medium term, blue hydrogen could be a more cost-effective option, EWI analyses show.
The range of electric cars is generally sufficient for everyday use – and charging at the workplace could play an important role in the future. This is shown by a data analysis conducted by EWI and several practice partners.
A Scientific Advisory Board composed of seven experts representing complementary fields will offer guidance to EWI in the further development of its research activities.
Hydrogen is considered an important future part of the energy transition. However, it remains to be seen whether and if so, how the hydrogen network will be regulated in the future. Economic and legal aspects are analyzed in a joint policy letter from EWI and EWIR.
Experts from science, industry and politics discussed the Green Deal, the European climate target and the global perspective at EWI Energy Conference.
In buildings, heat pumps are more and more common. But they drive the peak power demand upwards during cold spells. A study of EWI and E-CUBE shows how supply-demand gaps can be closed.
EWI Director Professor Marc Oliver Bettzüge becomes a member of the independent expert council for climate issues. The Federal Government has appointed him and four other scientists to the new body.
