and exchange knowledge through international cooperation

Achieving GHG neutrality – related challenges: a complex transformation process

GHG neutrality strategies face various major challenges – overcoming challenges

requires more than economic incentives

• Technological challenge (system integration of volatile renewable energy supply,

guaranteeing energy system and grid stability)

• Compatibility challenge (suitable cooperation scheme between conventional and new

technology options, provision of appropriate market structure and investor incentives)

• Infrastructure challenge (further development of appropriate infrastructures: electricity,

district heat, natural gas, hydrogen, CO2)

• Investment challenge (sufficient incentives to steer capital in the necessary direction; cre-

ate willingness to invest – to motivate private sector investments planning reliability is key)

• Resource challenge (avoid potential future bottlenecks through negative resource impacts

(e.g. critical resources))

• Stakeholder challenge (overcome persistence forces of established stakeholder, set

appropriate impulses to support structural changes on corporate level)

• Policy challenge (integrated regional, national and international policy initiative needed

(multi-level policy approach); reflective and adaptive policy regime (combination of

appropriate monitoring process with the courage to adapt existing policy regime/measures)

• Social challenge (public perception and societal acceptance of renewable energies and

associated infrastructures)

• Innovation Challenge (system innovations needed - combination of technological

innovations with appropriate mart infrastructures as well as social innovation) -> how to

trigger technological and social innovations

10

Key facts about NRW

• Biggest German state 17.7 million

inhabitants in 2015

(22% of Germany’s population)

• Most densely populated Federal State

of Germany (517 inhabitants / sq. km)

• 396 cities and towns (28 cities > 100.000

inhabitants)

• Most important economic and industrial

region - many energy- and resource-

intensive industries and energy

producing companies

• Home of hard coal and lignite mines

and > one third of German GHG emissions

The role of the Wuppertal Institute:

The Wuppertal Institute organised the process and supported the participants with

valuable knowledge support. Furthermore the institute modelled various climate

protection scenarios that define corridors for possible future GHG developments in

North-Rhine Westphalia.
