We propose a framework to unravel the hurdles and opportunities for the renewable energy transition in con-temporary crises to examine the interconnections be-tween energy transition, climate risks, and geopolitical issues. The study focuses on Germany and emphasizes that neglecting climate-related risks leads to financial in-stability and hampers the energy transition. If Paris-aligned energy and ...
Integrated assessment models (IAMs) are a central tool for the quantitative analysis of climate change mitigation strategies. However, due to their global, cross-sectoral and centennial scope, IAMs cannot explicitly represent the temporal and spatial details required to properly analyze the key role of variable renewable electricity (VRE) for decarbonizing the power sector and enabling emission reductions ...
DIW-Analyse zu Klimapartnerschaften mit Schwellenländern am Beispiel von Südafrika – Weltweite Energiewende kann nur in Kooperation von Industrieländern mit den Empfängerländern gelingen – Finanzielle und technische Unterstützung genügt nicht – Bedingungen der Zusammenarbeit müssen stärker in den Fokus rücken – Soziale Fragen entscheiden über den Erfolg der Energiepartnerschaft Investitionen in die ...
To reach climate neutrality, carbon emissions from the production of basic materials need to be curtailed. When governments encourage this transition by adopting support measures, the measures must comply with the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures. This article analyzes three selected support schemes under the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures: (i) free allocation ...
