PublicationStandardization in the context of transdisciplinarity( 2024-07-03)Transdisciplinarity is an integrative approach that includes different scientific disciplines as well as stakeholders and researchers to tackle both societal and scientific challenges. Since standards are jointly developed by science, business, and other stakeholders, standardization can be perceived as a specific mode of transdisciplinarity. In the discussion on knowledge transfer as a further performance dimension for researchers, participation in standardization procedures is now also being considered as a further channel, albeit without a sound conceptual and empirical basis. The paper thus aims to provide a conceptual base of standardization as a transdisciplinary knowledge production mode and transfer channel but also gives an outlook on its empirical implementation. The literature review on transdisciplinarity helps us to put standardization into the context of transdisciplinary research and to present a conceptual model of standardization as transdisciplinary knowledge production and transfer. Further, we present the first methodological approaches for the empirical analysis of the transdisciplinary character of standardization. Finally, we conclude with a summary, a number of recommendations derived from transdisciplinary research for standardization, and an outlook toward future research to be tackled with the proposed methodologies.

PublicationExzellent forschen in gesellschaftlicher VerantwortungDie Wissenschaft sieht sich zunehmend komplexeren Fragestellungen gegenüber, verbunden mit steigenden Wissens- und Handlungsunsicherheiten. In der ihr zuge-schriebenen „Doppelrolle” als zugleich Verursacherin und potenzielle Löserin von Problemen ist sie mit „flüchtigem“ Vertrauen der Gesellschaft konfrontiert, aber auch mit wachsenden gesellschaftlichen Ansprüchen, möglichst rasch Beiträge zur Lösung drängender Probleme zu liefern. Die wissenschaftsinternen Diskussionen über ihre „Mission“ und die zu bewältigenden Herausforderungen betonen daher zunehmend die Notwendigkeit, die gesellschaftliche Verantwortung von Wissenschaft zu stärken. Dabei geht es um die Frage, wie das Wissenschaftssystem gesteuert werden kann, um die Schwerpunkte zwischen Freiheit der Wissenschaft, ihrer Orientierung an Wettbewerb und Effzienz, ihrer gesellschaftlichen Wirkung sowie ihrer Rolle in Transformationsprozessen auszutarieren und zu realisieren.

PublicationThe long term price elastic demand of hydrogen - A multi-model analysis for GermanyHydrogen and its derivatives are important components to achieve climate policy goals, especially in terms of greenhouse gas neutrality. There is an ongoing controversial debate about the applications in which hydrogen and its derivatives should be used and to what extent. Typically, the estimation of hydrogen demand relies on scenario-based analyses with varying underlying assumptions and targets. This study establishes a new framework consisting of existing energy system simulation and optimisation models in order to assess the long-term price-elastic demand of hydrogen. The aim of this work is to shift towards an analysis of the hydrogen demand that is primarily driven by its price. This is done for the case of Germany because of the expected high hydrogen demand for the years 2025-2045. 15 wholesale price pathways were established, with final prices in 2045 between 56 €/MWh and 182 €/MWh. The results suggest that - if climate targets are to be achieved - even with high hydrogen prices (252 €/MWh in 2030 and 182 €/MWh in 2045) a significant hydrogen demand in the industry sector and the energy conversion sector is expected to emerge (318 TWh). Furthermore, the energy conversion sector has a large share of price sensitive hydrogen demand and therefore its demand strongly increases with lower prices. The road transportation sector will only play a small role in terms of hydrogen demand, if prices are low. In the decentralised heating for buildings no relevant demand will be seen over the considered price ranges, whereas the centralised supply of heat via heat grids increases as prices fall.
