Phasing out fossil fuels requires not only innovative energy generation technologies but also a new approach to planning and operating our energy infrastructure. Systems that have traditionally operated separately will need to be considered within an integrated framework – coordinated, efficient, and future-proof. This integration enables optimal use of synergies between existing and planned infrastructure while avoiding coordination issues. The energy transition thus presents not only a technological challenge, but also one of infrastructure and strategic planning.

This event will focus on future cross-sector infrastructure that paves the way towards a climate-neutral energy system.

Based on the new Green Tech Radar, experts will give insights into current and future developments in heat, gas, and CO₂ transmission networks through three specialist presentations – from innovative technologies and regulatory frameworks to concrete implementation projects.

Subsequently, participants will discuss, together with experts, the challenges, potentials, and next steps for expanding integrated infrastructure. The goal is to bring together cross-sector perspectives and provide fresh impetus for research, planning, and practice. This event is aimed at professionals from industry, research, energy supply, urban and regional planning, and public administration who are actively shaping tomorrow’s energy infrastructure.
