Long-term Scenarios 4: Pre-analyses from the Workshop Phase Published

In July 2024, the latest modelling results of the BMWE’s long-term scenarios were released. Together with Fraunhofer ISI, ifeu and TU Berlin, Consentec is working on the follow-up project, with new scenarios expected in Q2/2026. Over recent months, a dedicated “workshop phase” was carried in order to prepare the modelling of the new scenarios; its results are now available as slide decks presenting various analyses. The analyses address key questions raised by the expert community, such as: Under which conditions can CCS power plants be part of a cost-optimal energy system? How do fast-charging stations for heavy-duty vehicles affect electricity grids? What is the role of seasonal heat storages ? These and further insights are available here (ger).
