Techno-economic analysis of pathways to a climate-neutral and flexible gas supply in the integrated energy system of the future The project goal is to assess the role of synthetic gases in the future energy system, in particular with regard to their impact on the transformation of the European gas infrastructure, the interaction with other sector coupling options and the further development of the regulatory framework. The analysis is to be carried out both from the perspective of the overall system and from the perspective of the actors.

Project Description: By further developing and applying the REMix energy system model, the aim of DLR's work is to derive economically optimal transformation paths for the German energy system, considering all options for flexible sector coupling and European transport network infrastructures. The following changes in energy supply are considered in technical and spatial detail and examined in scenarios:
