Renewable Energies Instead of Domestic Coal: an Interim Assessment
The planned coal phase-out and the energy transition with their climate policy targets in Germany are linked to the expectation that domestic coal and thus coal mining will be completely replaced by renewable energies. To a considerable extent, this has already happened in this country. However, the consequences for the…

How Can Deep Geothermal Energy Support the Heating Transition in Germany?
Deep geothermal energy, as a reliable and sustainable source of heat, will play a decisive role in the heat transition in Germany. This technology uses the geothermal energy stored in deep geological layers to heat buildings and support industrial processes. In contrast to fossil fuels, geothermal energy is (virtually) emission-free…
