Renewable electricity generation as well as heat supply must be massively expanded, and electricity grids must be extended to cope with a rising consumption. Gas sales based on fossil gas will have no future and the gas grids will have to be converted to hydrogen and other green gases or the gas grid infrastructure will have to be challenged in the long term. This will require other technologies, new business models and funding. In this event, we would like to analyse the challenges and options related to the goal of climate neutrality by 2045. The electricity, gas and heat sectors with the value creation stages of generation, grids and distribution will be examined. Controversial topics such as the use of hydrogen for building heat and the possibilities and limits of grid expansion for electricity and heat will also be addressed. Please note: The conference will be held in German. UID:20220512T194002Z-20220621T130000-20220621T170000 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
