Juelich Systems Analysis (ICE-2)

Research Topics

We explore how energy transition processes affect economies on various regional levels, analyzing their implications for stakeholders and offering insights to inform science and society. With foundations in economics, econometrics, and policy assessment, we develop tools for providing levers that facilitate smooth energy system transition pathways aligned with climate goals and stakeholder demands. Applying cross-sectional and panel data for Germany, the EU, and international contexts, our analyses give insights into e.g. regional economic expansion potential of renewables, multi-regional decision analyses, and provide distributive assessments for energy technologies from an economic perspective. Our audience includes scientists, policymakers, and decision-makers seeking informed strategies for navigating energy transitions and transformation processes.
