in brief
The German Climate Change Act clearly stipulates the goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2045. Most greenhouse gases are produced by the combustion of fossil fuels, which means we’ll need to achieve a sweeping transformation across all sectors. Everything from building heating systems and vehicle engines to industrial production processes will function differently in the future. In this evolving landscape, it is essential for our well-being that ensure a secure and competitive energy supply.
Opportunities
Transformation comes with risks, such as the possible erosion of our industrial base. But new opportunities are also emerging, in many cases thanks to new technologies.
Decarbonization will preserve the world for future generations.
Renewable energies are fundamentally transforming our energy systems.
Many customers would prefer to purchase and consume green products, and they’re willing to pay for them.
The world needs new technologies. Thanks to its global reach, Germany can supply them.

Challenges
This sweeping transformation comes with many uncertainties. Which technologies will emerge as dominant? Which solutions will prove to be most cost-efficient? In the transport sector, for example, should vehicles rely on batteries or hydrogen for power? Or could a combination of both be viable?
Businesses, consumers and policymakers have to make decisions under conditions of great uncertainty. Empirical evidence helps reduce this uncertainty. Moreover, successfully navigating the path to decarbonization requires a thorough consideration of the policy environment and its implications.
Expert voices
Lawmakers are increasingly calling for everyone to provide their CO2 footprint or PCF as evidence of a sustainable supply chain. Our expertise helps you digitally capture the PCF associated with your value creation and product life cycles.
Maintaining and strengthening Germany’s industrial base will be a key challenge in the course of ecological transformation. It’s the only way to secure Germany’s future prosperity.
In order to unleash the transformative impact of new technologies, we must reduce existing uncertainties and establish a clear definition of prospective opportunities.
Decarbonization strategy
For companies, decarbonization means a major shift, but also new markets and sales opportunities. In the absence of available turnkey solutions, firms face considerable uncertainty. We provide data on the business landscapes of tomorrow.
Possible applications for companies:
Decarbonization strategy
Foundations and associations can help shed light on the opportunities and risks associated with decarbonization that are relevant for specific groups, while elucidating its potential impact on prosperity in Germany more generally. We provide the analyses these organizations need.
