There is a need for concepts and methods to develop generic insights across cases in transitions studies based on thorough and systematic empirical analysis. Based on the major strands of transition literature, this paper develops dimensions for a socio-technical system level analysis,...

Der Gebäudesektor in Deutschland verursacht 16 % der Treibhausgasemissionen und um diese Emissionen zu beseitigen, ist eine weitreichende Umstellung des Energiebedarfs und der Energienutzung von Gebäuden erforderlich. Modellbasierte Szenarioanalysen sind wichtig für die Bewertung der...

Der Schienenverkehr in Deutschland fährt bereits heute zu einem Großteil elektrisch (~90% der Verkehrsleistung auf ~60% elektrifizierten Strecken). Für eine vollständige Defossilisierung sind jedoch auch für die verbliebenen 10% Fahrleistung Lösungen von Nöten. Aufgrund der lokalen...

The electrification of heavy-duty road transport and logistics operations presents a significant challenge in meeting CO2 reduction goals. Despite increasing attention to battery-electric trucks (BETs) as a primary strategy among manufacturers, their market share remains limited in Europe and...

Baden-Württemberg verfolgt das Ziel, seine verkehrsbedingten CO2-Emissionen bis 2030 um 55 % gegenüber 1990 zu senken. Zur Erreichung dieses Ziels ist eine Vielzahl von verkehrlichen Maßnahmen denkbar, unter denen vom Ministerium für Verkehr Baden-Württemberg (VM) drei identifiziert wurden,...

Battery electric vehicles (BEV) present a promising approach to decarbonizing the transportation sector. This extends beyond electric passenger cars, such as electric motorcycles that hold significant potential in emerging markets with high population density and income disparities. However,...

Battery electric trucks (BETs) are the most promising option for fast and large-scale CO2 emission reduction in road freight transport. Yet, the limited range and longer charging times compared to diesel trucks make long-haul BET applications challenging, so a comprehensive fast charging network...

The price pass-through of CO2 costs was analysed for HRC and PE/PP products as parts of a BEV. It was revealed that the feasibility of transferring these costs hinges on a company's ability to dictate prices, either as a significant player in international markets or through bilateral...

This paper investigates potential drivers of technology and financial investments in energy transition technologies (ETT). The empirical findings rely on three online surveys, one conducted in March and the other two in May 2024 in Germany. The paper presents the descriptive results of the...
