Long-term scenarios for the transformation of the energy system

In the project "Long-term scenarios for the transformation of the energy system in Germany", scenarios for the future development of the energy system are being modelled on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, with which the energy and climate policy goals can be achieved. The modeling includes the entire energy system, including the generation of electricity, heat and hydrogen as well as the demand for energy in the sectors of industry, transport, buildings and equipment. The energy infrastructures (electricity and gases) are also modeled. The focus of the analysis is not on the development of a single "lead scenario", but on the examination of different scenario worlds in order to gain insights into the pros and cons of alternative paths for the transformation of the energy system through comparative analyses.
