Final Conference of the first project phase
The final conference of the first project phase of the Sino-German Energy Transition Project (EnTrans) took place on 29 September 2022 in Berlin and online. The project team presented the results of the project, and discussed with experts and the audience how Germany and China can best tackle the challenging task of achieving climate neutrality across all sectors.
In three sessions, a clear picture of the future climate neutral energy system in Germany and China was developed:
A safe, reliable, efficient, and renewable energy system: large shares of variable renewable energies will characterize the future climate neutral energy system. This requires new ways of planning and operating the system, as well utilizing flexibility potentials.
Energy transition across sectors: Not just the energy sector, all sectors of the economy, from transport to industry will have to be decarbonized to reach climate neutrality. Electrification, hy-drogen, and efficiency are building blocks of this transition.
Making a difference locally: The transformation towards climate neutrality will take place locally and large transformations with unique challenges are ahead for rural and urban areas.
The results of the conference are collected as a graphic recording here.
