“Turning energy around: Coal and the German Energiewende”

Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI)

Germany’s coal sector remains strong enough to noticeably hinder the energy transition, writes Stefan Bößner of the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) in a research paper. He examines the coal sector in Germany amid the Energiewende with the goal of shedding light on how stakeholders in the status quo are framing their case against the Energiewende, and how their arguments might be countered constructively. Bößner proposes several options and policy priorities for a successful Energiewende in regards to the coal sector.
