Energy transition through sector coupling - the path to 1.5 degrees?

by Vivian Bullinger | 17.02.2022

In his 2016 study "Sector coupling through the energy turnaround", Prof. Dr. Volker Quaschning calls for complete decarbonization of the electricity, heating and transport sectors by 2040 in order to achieve successful climate protection and meet the targets agreed in the Paris Climate Agreement.

In our video interview, we asked him about this and many other topics. We were interested, for example, in what has been achieved in the past five years in the area of sector coupling? How the increasing energy demand, which will also be created by the energy transition, can be met? And, of course, how sector coupling is implemented in practice?

More about Solar-Log

At the beginning of the 2000s, we started our activities in the field of solar energy as pioneers. Looking to the future, we recognized even then the increasing importance of alternative energy sources.

In view of the finiteness of fossil energy sources and the emerging increase in energy demand, we set the course for ourselves. In order to secure an independent power supply with photovoltaics, we continuously pushed the development of innovative and customer-specific energy system solutions.

Today, as an independent partner, we enable companies worldwide to efficiently and profitably manage the energy of their photovoltaic systems with reliable monitoring, and high-quality "Made in Germany" products. By these means, we are able to support them in making an active contribution to the energy turnaround and to protecting the environment.
