    Description: A clear understanding of socio-technical interdependencies and a structured vision are prerequisites for fostering and steering a transition to a fully renewables-based energy system. To facilitate such understanding, a phase model for the renewable energy transition in MENA countries has been developed and applied to the country case of Iraq. It is designed to support the strategy development and governance of the energy transition and to serve as a guide for decision makers. The transition towards renewable energies is still at a very early stage in Iraq. Despite the drop in renewable technology costs over the last decade and the increasing deployment of renewables in the MENA region, the pathway towards renewable energies seems to be challenging for Iraq. This is attributable to the country's political instability and the dominant economic role played by the fossil fuel sector. The most pressing concern for Iraq's electricity sector is the need to secure a constant electricity supply. At operational level, Iraq's electricity infrastructure requires significant investment to rebuilt, retro-fit and expand its overall capacity and to improve efficiencies. Yet, the need to rebuild the energy system after the war and the subsequent violent conflicts could offer an opportunity for a transition towards renewables that would benefit Iraq in the short term and also provide a long-term economic development perspective. To take advantage of this opportunity, Iraq needs to improve the framework conditions for renewable energies and raise awareness about the benefits it offers. Renewable energy regulations need to be introduced, market development supported, a realistic timeframe for the transition process established and an appropriate and reliable legal framework developed. The results of the analysis along the transition phase model towards 100% renewables are intended to stimulate and support the discussion about Iraq's future energy system by providing an overarching guiding vision for the energy transition and the development of appropriate policy strategies.

    Description: A clear understanding of socio-technical interdependencies and a structured vision are prerequisites for fostering and steering a transition to a fully renewables-based energy system. To facilitate such understanding, a phase model for the renewable energy (RE) transition in MENA countries has been developed and applied to the country case of Morocco. It is designed to support the strategy development and governance of the energy transition and to serve as a guide for decision makers. Such a phase model could be shared widely as part of Morocco's engagement in international platforms of multilateral collaboration, such as the Energy Transition Council (chaired by the United Kingdom (UK) and managed by the British Embassy - Rabat). The analysis shows that Morocco has fully embarked on the energy transition. According to the MENA phase model, Morocco can be classified as being in the second phase "System Integration of Renewables". Nevertheless, Morocco plans to considerably increase the use of natural gas in order to back up intermittent solar and wind energy sources. The diversification of energy sources and a diverse portfolio of storage options, including solar thermal power and hydrogen, can foster flexibility options. To this end, a roadmap for power-to-X (PtX) should be considered for a smooth transition of the Moroccan energy supply and demand system. The expansion of local REs can significantly contribute to reducing Morocco's high fossil fuel imports that are causing a high fiscal burden. With this regard, energy security can be strengthened. Next to large-scale deployment, decentralisation of the energy system must be built to encourage an energy transition on all societal levels. The results of the analysis along the transition phase model towards 100% RE are intended to stimulate and support the discussion on Morocco's future energy system by providing an overarching guiding vision for energy transition and the development of appropriate policies.

    Description: A clear understanding of socio-technical interdependencies and a structured vision are prerequisites for fostering and steering a transition to a fully renewables-based energy system. To facilitate such understanding, a phase model for the renewable energy transition in MENA countries has been developed and applied to the country case of Algeria. It is designed to support the strategy development and governance of the energy transition and to serve as a guide for decision makers. The analysis shows that Algeria has already taken first steps towards a renewable energy transition. According to the MENA phase model, Algeria can be classified as entering the "Take-Off Renewables" phase. Nevertheless, fossil fuels still play a dominant role in the Algerian energy sector and in the economy as a whole. To support the renewables take-off, strong support is therefore needed at all levels. Only then can the necessary framework conditions be created to encourage participation and to attract investment from the private sector. To this end, a long-term energy strategy should to be developed that takes into account the renewable energy potential to support an efficient transformation of the Algerian energy supply and enables a smooth transition.

    Description: Die Prozesse der Grundstoffindustrie sind verantwortlich für einen Großteil des industriellen Energie- und Stromverbrauchs in Deutschland. Welche technischen Möglichkeiten bieten sich in diesen Prozessen auf Flexibilitätsanforderungen des Stromsystems zu reagieren? Das vom BMBF geförderte Kopernikus-Projekt SynErgie untersucht die Flexibilität von Industrieprozessen. Ein Arbeitspaket, das aus dem Projektantrag des INFLUX Konsortiums hervorgegangen ist, hat nun umfassende Studie zu den Flexibilitätsoptionen in den Prozessen der Grundstoffindustrie veröffentlicht.

    Description: Innerhalb des Kopernikus-Projekts "Synchronisierte und energieadaptive Produktionstechnik zur flexiblen Ausrichtung von Industrieprozessen auf eine fluktuierende Energieversorgung" - kurz SynErgie - erheben Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler das Flexibilisierungspotenzial von Industrieprozessen und versuchen die Machbarkeit an Schlüsselprozessen zu demonstrieren. Die technischen Herausforderungen und Lösungsoptionen, die sich in den Prozessen der Grundstoffindustrie - wie etwa Stahl, Chemie, Zement, Glas und Feuerfest - ergeben, haben sie bereits in einem ersten Band "Flexibilitätsoptionen in der Grundstoffindustrie: Methodik, Potenziale, Hemmnisse" ausführlich beschrieben und auf Basis einer eigens entwickelten Methodik analysiert. Der Fokus des vorliegenden zweiten Bandes liegt auf den Flexibilitätsperspektiven, die sich durch hybride Wärmebereitstellung, den Einsatz thermischer Energiespeicher und der Nutzung synthetischer Gase in den entsprechenden Branchen ergeben können. Hierzu erweiterten die Forschenden die bereits im ersten Band entwickelte Methodik um die relevanten Aspekte der Gasversorgung und thermischen Speicherung. Anhand von konkreten technischen Beispielen aus den Branchen stellen sie darin die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten und ein gegebenenfalls daraus folgendes Flexibilitätspotenzial dar und diskutieren dies.
