Öko-Institut brings expertise in various modelling exercises to the consortium. Öko-Institut is involved in the modelling of energy-systems, but also beyond. For example, it leads the consortium that produces the official GHG emission projections for Germany, which are required by the Bundes-Klimaschutzgesetz.

To nfdi4energy the Öko-Institut contributes expertise for developing open research data infrastructures. Based on our previous involvement with developing the Open Energy Platform, we now focus on making it fitter for purpose.

They also add insights regarding the requirements that contract research has with respect to publishing Open Data, and what funders may expect to find on research data infrastructures so they can inform themselves and policy in a targeted manner based on research. The Öko-Insttitut can be seen as a bridge between the “worlds” of contract research and grant research.]
