Arne Burdack, Maximilian Stargardt, Christoph Winkler +4
In a world increasingly powered by renewables and aiming for greenhouse gas-neutral industrial production, the future competitiveness of todays top manufacturing countries is quest…
Towards Hydrogen Autarky? Evaluating Import Costs and Domestic Competitiveness in European Energy Strategies
Philipp Dunkel, Theresa Klütz, Jochen LinÃen +1
The design of the future European energy system depends heavily on how Europe balances its domestic hydrogen production against its reliance on imports. This study reveals that nei…
Critical Iridium Demands arising from future Expansion of Proton Exchange Membrane Electrolysis
Bernhard Wortmann, Detlef Stolten, Heidi Heinrichs
Proton exchange membrane electrolysis (PEMEL) is a key technology for producing green hydrogen, but its scalability is limited by the use of scarce materials, particularly iridium.…
Large-Scale Linear Energy System Optimization: A Systematic Review on Parallelization Strategies via Decomposition
Lars Hadidi, Leonard Göke, Maximilian Hoffmann +7
As renewable energy integration, sector coupling, and spatiotemporal detail increase, energy system optimization models grow in size and complexity, often pushing solvers to their…
Spatially Disaggregated Energy Consumption and Emissions in End-use Sectors for Germany and Spain
Shruthi Patil, Noah Pflugradt, Jann M. Weinand +2
High-resolution energy consumption and emissions datasets are essential for localized policy-making, resource optimization, and climate action planning. They enable municipalities…
