The Department of Energy and Climate Policy at Technische Universität Berlin empirically and theoretically explores how the transition to a low-carbon economy aligns with current economic goals and encourages policy changes that support sustainability, effectiveness, and security of supply. The department utilizes quantitative and qualitative analyses, along with modelling assessments, to address trade-offs and ensure the robustness and relevance of its findings. Research is conducted through early stakeholder engagement and collaboration with an international expert network, focusing on effective implementations of regulatory frameworks. Key research areas include the electricity sector, renewable energy integration, and energy efficiency in the building sector, alongside a strong emphasis on the development and evaluation of policies aimed at fostering investments in efficiency standards and retrofits. Furthermore, the department assesses sectoral roadmaps for energy-intensive industries, contributing to the European Union's emission reduction objectives and fostering collaboration within the European research network, Climate Strategies.
