Die Ampel-Koalition hatte sich vorgenommen, die Energiewende deutlich zu beschleunigen. Auf Basis der Daten des Ampel-Monitors Energiewende des DIW Berlin werden in diesem Bericht die Entwicklungen wichtiger Schlüsseltechnologien analysiert und eine Bilanz der Energiewendepolitik gezogen. Die...

There are two main ways to reduce anthropogenic GHG emissions: energy efficiency improvement and increase usage of renewable energy sources. Taking these two main ways into account, it is possible to analyze the main drivers of GHG emissions in the country and to make forecast of future GHG...

The 2020 climate and energy package adopted in 2009 sets three key targets for EU Member States: 20% cut in greenhouse gas emissions (from 1990 levels); to ensure 20% of renewables in final energy consumption and to achieve 20% improvement in energy efficiency from 2005 levels. The paper...

Recent worldwide growing awareness of the global climate changes stressed the importance of developing and supporting the renewable energy sources (RES). However, the public support for RES varies across various countries and regions, especially those abundant in traditional fossil fuels. This...

The management of sustainability transitions often includes action to accelerate technological change. Deployment policies are essential measures to increase the adoption of technologies and spur technological development. However, processes of technological development often follow non-linear...

This paper investigates the effects of the renewable energy consumption and the tourism investments along with the per capita gross domestic product (GDP), the real effective exchange rate, and trade openness on both tourism revenues (total tourism contribution to GDP) and international tourist...

This research paper fills a literature gap by tapping into Europe's Just Transition to green energy production and consumption models and introduces empirically derived trends. The mix of analysed variables was targeted at sustainable energy transformation models according to complementary...

Huge low-carbon investments are required to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement. However, one obstacle for these investments may be public opposition to the installment of low-carbon technology due to high perceived net costs. In this paper, we analyze the local net costs of both wind...

This book delves into how carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies might help accelerate the worldwide transition to sustainable energy while meeting Paris Agreement targets. This comprehensive handbook examines how governments, businesses, and society may effectively...
