    Power Generation from Nuclear Fusion Not Expected in the Foreseeable Future: Applied Research Developing Dynamically

    Research into nuclear fusion for military purposes has been regularly conducted since the 1940s. However, the idea of being able to use nuclear power for power generation within mere decades has not come to fruition. While some successes have been highlighted by the media, such as the experiments at the National Ignition Facility in California at the end of 2022, the main problems remain as challenging ...

    Non-monetary Factors Were an Important Driver of Residential Energy Savings during the Energy Crisis

    The Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 triggered an energy crisis in Germany, with consumer energy prices skyrocketing over the course of the year. Due to concerns about gas shortages, various programs aimed at reducing consumption were set up and the German Federal Government and numerous organizations appealed to consumers to save as much energy as possible. This Weekly Report investigates how much ...

    Contracts in Crisis: The War in Ukraine and Long-Term Contracts in Energy Markets

    We examine the impact of the war in Ukraine on long-term contracts in energy markets. We find that traded contract volumes fall by 65 percent in the first months of the war. A collapse in bilateral trading contributes most to this decline. To protect themselves from price shocks, firms increasingly turned to long-term contracts already before the war. In sum, our results show that the market continued ...

    Ensuring Low-Emission Electricity Purchasing Requires a Broader Systems Perspective

    Introducing electricity purchase conditions in renewable fuel regulations and carbon accounting is a controversial issue in the US and Europe. We argue that their impact must be assessed considering demand flexibility, local grid conditions, and overlapping policy instruments such as emissions trading schemes and renewable portfolio standards. The introduction of more stringent requirements has a significant ...

    Prioritize to Decarbonize: Thermal Retrofits, Carbon Prices, and Energy Inequality

    The energy crisis following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine exposed the heightened vulnerability of low-income households to rising heating costs, particularly those in energy inefficient buildings. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), this study examines the distributional impact of heating costs across income deciles and evaluates the effectiveness of policy interventions. We find ...

    Making transition plans work – Research and practice perspectives on transition plans and transition risks assessment

    Expectations are high that transition plans will drive the decarbonization of the economy. However, companies often lack clarity on how their transition plans are utilized. Strengthening the alignment between transition plans of financial institutions and businesses is crucial to ensure consistent climate action across sectors. Additionally, there is a gap between the ESG and/or transition metrics...
