Without the energy revolution there can be no long-term climate protection – that much is clear. If we want to increase the use of renewable energy, we will face a whole new set of challenges – that is equally clear.
For example, how does solar power get to our homes from the offshore wind farms in the North Sea? Or how best to store and deliver solar power in the future? What opportunities does digitalization offer? And how can we get the best mix out of old and new energy systems?
Low environmental impact, affordability and possible supply technologies – these are the three areas of tension in the energy revolution. But in our view, a fourth area is missing. One that focuses on citizen participation and acceptance. So how do we address that area at ifok? With individual, regional participation and targeted communication.
In addition, we see energy management as a sensitive system in need of balance. A balance that helps create new solutions, builds on what has already been created, saves resources and creates space for innovation. Does that sound impossible? We say that this balancing act can be successful: thanks to the wisdom of crowds, expert advice and clever strategy development.
We are experts on our topics. We are familiar with the scene and the debates going on within it. We invest in the innovation potential of interdisciplinary teams, data-driven analyses and above all in the experience of the people on location. It’s not the last word that counts for us, but the best solution.
