Die Ampelkoalition steht vor der Herausforderung, ihre energiepolitischen Ziele zu erreichen. Will sie dabei nicht scheitern, muss sie das Tempo der Energiewende deutlich steigern. Anlässlich der aktuellen energiepolitischen Debatte wurde am DIW Berlin der sogenannte Ampel-Monitor Energiewende...

In the past two years, the world has changed and global crises (e. g. the COVID-19 pandemic, war in Ukraine) increasingly dominate the headline. Decades of certainties no longer apply, risks and uncertainties are increasing, challenges are becoming more complex and at the same time require...

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has pushed Europe to re-design its energy map at speed. Amid this unprecedented energy overhaul, the EU and the United States have flagged their commitment to reinforce their bilateral energy partnership, starting with short-term measures to boost US liquefied...

The so-called traffic light coalition is facing a challenge: it has set ambitious energy policy targets, but can only achieve them if the pace of the energy transition is increased significantly. To contribute to the current energy policy debate, the Ampel-Monitor Energiewende (Monitor of the...

Renewable electricity plays an increasingly important role in the effort to reduce CO2 emissions in the electricity sector. One of the major challenges that must be addressed is the fluctuating supply of renewable electricity. We explore the impact of cross-border electricity transfers on both...

India has witnessed significant transformation in the energy mix over the last decade, with renewables accounting for 24% of the installed grid capacity and 10% of the electricity generation today. The achievements, however, fall short in the trajectory towards the ambitious targets set for the...

Mobilizing private finance for renewable energy and energy efficiency is critical for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) not only for the reduction of global temperature rise, but also for meeting fast growing energy demand. Two-thirds of green bonds issued in ASEAN countries...

As the world's second and third largest economies, both the People's Republic of China (PRC) and Japan are facing the challenge of energy insecurity. To meet this challenge, both countries are adopting and enhancing renewable energy policy. This research tries to compare the two countries'...

The International Energy Agency estimates that $24.5 trillion of energy efficiency (EE) investments will be needed through 2040. Debt- and self-financed projects are expected to contribute only a third of this capital due to multiple barriers. On the one hand, self-financed projects require...

This study develops quantitative models to conduct economic assessments of the feasibility of producing hydrogen energy from renewable energy and subsequently applying it in the road transport sector in the People's Republic of China. The study applies a well-to-wheel model to analyze the cost...
