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 currently leads the consortium that produces the official GHG emission projections for Germany, which are required by Bundes-Klimaschutzgesetz (KSG).

To NFDI4Energy, the Öko-Institut contributes expertise for developing open research data infrastructures. Based on its previous involvement with developing the Open Energy Platform, within NFDI4Energy it focuses on making it fitter for purpose.

Öko-Institut also contributes 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. Öko-Institut can be seen as a bridge between the ‘worlds’ of contract research and grant research.

Task Areas

Öko-Institut is involved in Task Area 8. They work in Measure 1.4, in which they develop the Open Energy Platform to be fitter for purpose with respect to requirements from the NFDI community.
