Fraunhofer ISE’s study outlines pathways for Germany’s energy system to achieve climate neutrality by 2045. It stresses region-specific strategies and integrating renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. According to the study, significant expansion of these sources is essential, supported by battery storage and hydrogen production for stability. The study highlights the need for enhanced grid infrastructure and interregional cooperation for efficient energy distribution. Coordinated efforts across German states are vital, with tailored solutions based on local resources and demands. Decentralized energy systems and large-scale renewable projects must work in tandem. Investment in innovative technologies and supportive policies is crucial, says the report. According to Fraunhofer ISE, this transformation requires action from policymakers, industry leaders, and regional planners.
