In Poland and Germany, road transport is a major cause of GHG emissions and air pollution. To reduce these and to achieve climate neutrality, changes are required in the energy production sector, but also in transport. Electric Vehicle (EV) development is an opportunity to achieve improvements in the transport sector.
The establishment of electric mobility faces several challenges. Among them are a lack of capacities on legal regulations facilitating the development of E-mobility, the lack of technical experience and knowledge on business models, a lack of adequate network infrastructure, insufficient cooperation between actors, insufficient numbers of vehicle charging stations, and no common national standard for charging stations.
Through promoting electromobility among stakeholders, the project supports long-term changes in the energy mix, deployment of renewables in the targeted countries, and leads to reduction of CO2 emission.
The Int-E-Grid project was a response to the Katowice Partnership for Electric Mobility, which was adopted at COP24. The project created a platform for experts to collaborate, strengthened stakeholder motivation, and thus helped overcome existing challenges. Target groups include governments, municipalities, innovative companies, and environmental NGOs.
During the project implementation period, the platform promoted mutual learning so that experts could align their approaches and concepts, thereby reducing the cost of climate protection in the energy and transport sectors. Policy recommendations were then formulated. All measures were realized through high-level bilateral discussions and conferences, consultation with experts and partners, and a comprehensive analysis of current methods, technologies and trends. These measures strengthened the dialogue between the stakeholders and contributed to the support of the involved actors in overcoming the hurdles that currently still stand in the way of electromobility.
The project analysed (1) challenges associated with the development of electromobility in Poland and Germany, (2) the impact of the electromobility market on the security of the national electricity grid, and (3) best practices to support electromobility at the city level.
Project outcomes include, in particular:
