Mobilitätswende und Energiewende zusammen denken
Mit rund einem Drittel des gesamten Energieverbrauchs hat der Mobilitätssektor das Potenzial, die Energiewende deutlich zu beschleunigen. Schlüssel zum Erfolg ist die sogenannte Sektorenkopplung.
Mit der Sektorenkopplung können Energieflüsse über Branchengrenzen hinweg kombiniert und ganzheitlich betrachtet werden. Ziel ist es, Energie überall – zur richtigen Zeit, am richtigen Ort – ausreichend verfügbar zu machen. Dieses Zukunftsbild nennen wir: Eine All Electric Society.
Die Expertinnen und Experten, die wissen, wie sie verschiedene Sektoren in der zwischenmenschlichen Zusammenarbeit wie auch auf technologischer Ebene zusammenbringen, sind unsere Kolleginnen und Kollegen aus der Phoenix Contact-Gruppe.
Gemeinsam sehen wir E-Mobilität als das, was es ist: Ein kollektives Vorhaben, das eine intelligente Vernetzung aller Akteure braucht. Von Automobil- und Energiewirtschaft über Industrie, von Politik bis Öffentlichkeit und Endverbraucher. Gemeinsam möchten wir die Mobilitäts- und Energiewende beschleunigen!
