This paper reviews the case of nuclear energy. Currently, the worldworld is facing one of the greatest energy crises due to the Russo-Ukrainian war. This conflict has lead to limited sources of gas, causing a dramatic decrease in energy supply, leading to emerging energy crisis risks. This is...

The Obama administration has repeatedly identified the large-scale build-out of clean, renewable energy infrastructure as a key priority of the United States. The President's calls for a cleaner energy economy are often accompanied by references to other industrialized countries such as Germany,...

The interest in low-carbon hydrogen technologies is growing fast in politics and the economy. The ramp-up of a hydrogen market is a critical phase, which requires the engagement and coordination of many heterogeneous stakeholders. A better understanding of who these stakeholders are and what...

The increase in network costs within the German electricity grid, due to a rising share of renewable energy generation, has led to higher network charges in recent years. We use socioeconomic data in order to investigate distributional effects within the period 2010-2016, and employ three...

Um die ökologische Transformation der Wirtschaft zu bewältigen, bedarf es in den kommenden Jahren vieler qualifizierter Fachkräfte. Zur Umsetzung der Klimaziele ist eine Vervielfachung des Ausbaufortschritts bei den erneuerbaren Energien in Deutschland notwendig, und auch der Anteil...

As redispatch costs and their associated distributional impacts continue to rise, the discussion on reconfiguring bidding zones in European power markets persists. However, determining an appropriate bidding zone configuration is a non-trivial task, as it must prove beneficial under varying...

Selbst wenn die ehrgeizigen Ausbauziele für die erneuerbaren Energien erreicht werden,zeigt die vorliegende Simulation, dass Deutschland 2045 rund 100 GW an Wasserstoff (H2)-Kraftwerken benötigen wird. Trotz des enormen Bedarfs, der von der Politik noch nichtgesehen wird, verläuft der Ausbau...

Employing a quantile regression model, we investigate the impact of renewable sources on their unit revenues (absolute cannibalization) and value factors (relative cannibalization), as well as the cross-effect between technologies. The results indicate that an increase in wind and solar share...

This paper focuses on decentralized energy in Germany and how households' environmental behavior in terms of energy consumption is shaped in these contexts. It sets out to gain a more precise understanding of whether decentralized energy initiatives are a good tool to promote the adoption of...
