🚨Study on future options and costs of energy imports for Germany🚨

Our study comparing future options for energy imports to Germany and their costs has finally passed peer-review and is now published.

A thread 🧵 🔑Key findings

- Germany has many options for import
- No one-size-fits-all: Costs strongly depend on what and from where you import
- Costs for renewable alternatives and prices for fossil counterparts converged in last year

(visualisation created with AI b/c it's trendy)

Germany (and other countries heavily relying on fossil energy imports today) need to switch to alternative energy carriers in the future to become climate neutral.

The list of options is long:
⚗️Which energy carrier?
🗺️From where?
🚢By which transport mode? Highlights below.
