The German Energy Agency has published the first interim results of its flagship study 'Integrated Energy Transition'. The interim results show that digitalisation and technology-neutral solutions can reduce CO2 emissions in Germany by up to 90 per cent by 2050.
Climate change: The complexity and long-term nature of climate change mitigation is also fraught with uncertainty. What really affects CO2 emissions and how? What are the most efficient ways to achieve the 2050 climate targets in the key sectors of buildings, industry and mobility? The Integrated Energy Transition study by the German Energy Agency (dena) is investigating these questions until mid-2018. At the start of the new legislative period, dena is now making an important contribution to the debate on how best to achieve the climate targets with an interim summary of the study: By 2050, greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced by 80 to 95 percent compared to 1990 levels.
The interim conclusion makes it clear that climate-smart management of buildings is a key success factor: The further development of the ICT infrastructure and the framework conditions for digitalisation in the energy sector (including the use of smart metering) will play an important role in ensuring that the opportunities offered by digitalisation can be fully exploited for the successful implementation of the energy system transformation.
The study also mentions the positive leverage effects of technology openness for a cost-effective energy transition in the building sector.
The noventic group is a pioneer in climate-intelligent building control. The Smart Meter Gateways from Power Plus Communications AG (PPC) and the highly available technology and system-open data platforms from KeepFocus are already laying the foundations for technology-open, efficient measures to reduce CO2 in building supply. The networking of sensors with actuators and the communication of buildings with data platforms and applications creates the basis for climate-intelligent building control.
