Transformation Strategies for a sustainable future
The research focus of Jülich Systems Analysis (ICE-2) is the unbiased, scientific investigation of technologies, technology paths, value chains and market ramp-ups in future energy systems, considering material requirements, sector coupling and framework conditions in policy and society. The addressees are science, decision-makers from politics, industry and social actors. To answer the research questions, Jülich Systems Analysis creates complex models to analyze and evaluate technologies, infrastructures and resources for future energy systems using an open-science approach. This is done in an interdisciplinary approach that considers the interaction of energy technologies with economic, ecological and social systems and thus focuses on security of supply, economic efficiency and environmental protection. An integral part of the research work is the creation of a consistent and sustainably usable data basis in accordance with the open data principle.
The Jülich Systems Analysis ICE-2 was created from the merger of the two institutes “Techno-economic Systems Analysis” (IEK-3) and “Systems Analysis and Technological Evaluation” (IEK-STE) of the Institute of Energy and Climate Research.
