Low-carbon hydrogen: analysis of costs and regulation

Low-carbon hydrogen is currently being discussed as a bridging technology for the development of a hydrogen economy. In a recent research report, EWI analyzed the techno-economic and regulatory challenges.

EWI Analysis: Bidding Zone Split could reduce Welfare

A split of Germany’s uniform electricity bidding zone could lead to a decrease in welfare within the German electricity system. This conclusion is presented in a re-cent policy brief by EWI, based on an evaluation of existing studies and analyses.

EWI models risk scenarios for gas supply in Germany

The gas crisis of 2022 has raised the question of how resilient the gas supply in Germany is. In a new report for the German BMWK, the EMI analyzes theoretical risk scenarios on the gas market and the effects on prices and infrastructure utilization.

EWI-Energietagung – Bettzüge: „Wer baut, benötigt einen Plan“

Strommarkt 2030, Finanzierung der Energiewende, Herausforderungen für Stadtwerke in der Wärmewende sowie Verhältnis von Staat und Markt in der Transformation – darüber diskutierten zahlreiche Fachleute bei der EWI-Energietagung in Köln.

Green hydrogen: Geo-economic conditions in the EU

The development of a green hydrogen economy is changing the import dependencies and value creation potential of European companies. The EWI is investigating the current and possible future geo-economic situation of the EU.

Heat transition: Too little drive for heater replacement despite GEG?

According to the federal government’s targets, net greenhouse gas neutrality should be achieved by 2045. This could require significant quantities of biogenic or synthetic fuels in the building sector, according to a new analysis by the EWI.

Flexibility in the Energy System: Who Benefits and Who Bears the Costs?

In the energy transition, technologies such as electric vehicles and heat pumps are playing an increasingly important role. New research by EWI reveals how flexibility in the energy system impacts costs and benefits for various stakeholders in the electricity market.

Diversification makes green hydrogen cheaper

A new scientific journal article demonstrates how combining diverse renewable energy sources and locations can significantly reduce costs of producing green hydrogen under temporal matching requirements.

Hydrogen network could meet around 90% of demand in 2030

It is still unclear exactly how much hydrogen will be needed in the future. However, the planned core network could supply the load centers in most demand scenarios of existing energy system studies, according to a recent analysis by the EWI.
