“Energy transition for all” - How much energy for a net zero economy?

Lecture

In addition to the climate crisis, the current global political situation puts the issue of sovereign and sustainable energy supply in Austria and the European Union even more into focus.

Together with the think tank Club of Rome, especially Club of Rome - Austrian Chapter,, opens an external URL in a new window we would like to provide you with insights on topic related questions such as:

  • How much energy do we need for complete decarbonization
  • Where will this energy come from? Will it be produced in Austria?
  • What are the international framework conditions?

“Energy transition for all” - How much energy for a net zero economy?

Although Austria is already well positioned in the field of renewable electricity supply through hydropower, a large part of primary energy (for heating, mobility & industry) is still obtained from fossil sources. For the desired rapid decarbonization and possible energy sovereignty, we still must overcome some major hurdles. For example, the expansion target for an additional 27 TWh of electricity in the Renewable Energy Exchange Act (EAG) is already a big step, but it does not yet cover all areas and by no means covers (consciously) the entire primary energy demand.
