Key Strategies Towards Decarbonised Energy Systems

GJETC presents three new studies with policy recommendations

  • News 08.04.2022

In its role as a provider of research on key issues of the energy transition, today the German Japanese Energy Transition Council (GJETC) publishes three studies that have been conducted during the past nine months. The German and Japanese scientists have been working on research concerning a comparison of long-term scenario analyses up to 2045/2050, the decarbonisation of the steel industry, and the role of batteries towards carbon neutrality. The findings from the studies form the basis for GJETC recommendations to policymakers.

"In 2021, more CO2 is being produced than ever globally and also Germany wasn't on track of its ambitious climate targets. At the same time, the Russian aggression against Ukraine has put the urgent reduction of fossil energy dependency high on the agenda. This calls for intensified efforts on international knowledge exchange to speed up the energy transition and to generate synergies of climate mitigation and less import dependency," says Prof. Dr. Peter Hennicke, the German co-chair of the GJETC and Senior Advisor at the Wuppertal Institute, and adds "From the results of our studies, we can derive recommendations for political decision-makers in Germany and Japan in this regard that can help achieve the climate targets and energy security alike."
