1 Energy Transition made in Germany An Introduction Ferdinand Elsäßer, 25 September 2018, Prague Faciliator

2 Agenda 1. Germany s Energiewende reasons, goals, long term strategy 2. Recent developments and outlook 3. energy solutions - made in Germany - the initiative Ferdinand Elsäßer Page 2

3 Germany s Energiewende Faciliator

4 Five reasons for the Energiewende Development of new technologies as new sources of growth and employment Reduce dependency on energy imports Reduce carbon emissions and reach climate protection targets Phase-out nuclear power generation Energy policy can be both sustainable and economically successful Climate protection is a strong driver for the Energiewende complemented by strong economic and social drivers for change. Ferdinand Elsäßer Page 4

5 Germany s long-term energy and climate strategy Achieved Climate % greenhouse gas reduction (vs. 1990) 27.6% (2016) to 95 Renewable Energy Energy Efficiency % gross electricity consumption % gross final energy consumption Primary energy consumption(vs. 2008) Final energy productivity (vs. 2008) Primary energy demand in buildings(vs. 2008) Final energy consumption in transport(vs. 2005) 36.2% 14.8% (2016) -6.0% 1.1% p.a. (2016) -15.9% (2015) +1.3% (2015) to % p.a. ( ) 45 eigenen Namen ergänzen to -20 Source: Ecofys2018 basedon BMWi 2016, UBA , AGEB 2018
