Trends bei erneuerbaren Energien, Elektromobilität und Wärmepumpen: das könnte schneller gehen!

Lecture on the state of the energy transition by Wolf-Peter Schill at the Long Night of Sciences 2026 on June 6th at the Natural History Museum in Berlin-Mitte. The energy transition has recently made progress. Nevertheless, more speed is possible – and necessary – in almost all areas to achieve climate goals. This lecture will analyze current trends in key energy transition technologies based on the latest data. We will look not only at wind and solar energy, but also at different types of electric vehicles and heat pumps. How can the energy transition proceed – and where are new goals or measures advisable? ...
