Jochen Linßen

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jochen Linßen is a Professor at the Institute of Climate and Energy Systems (ICE), specifically within the Jülich Systems Analysis (ICE-2) group at the Research Center Jülich GmbH. His work focuses on advancing energy systems modeling, renewable energy integration, and hydrogen technology. Key research areas include the techno-economic analysis of energy transition pathways, hydrogen cost-potentials, and the interplay between energy systems and transportation networks.

His expertise spans climate policy, infrastructure planning, and the development of frameworks for long-term mobility demand modeling. He has contributed to high-resolution assessments of renewable energy resources and the evaluation of green hydrogen’s role in decarbonizing industries. Recent work emphasizes AI-driven risk mitigation in energy systems and the impact of natural hazards on energy infrastructure resilience.

Research Interests:

• Modeling of energy systems and hydrogen networks
• Renewables integration and curtailment challenges
• Transportation electrification and hydrogen fueling infrastructure
• Climate policy and decarbonization strategies

Key Projects:

• ETHOS. MODE. regional framework for mobility demand analysis
• Global assessments of wind and solar power potentials
• Hydrogen supply chain optimization for Germany and Europe

His collaborative approach bridges engineering, economics, and environmental science to address systemic challenges in energy transitions. Ongoing efforts include participatory mapping of green hydrogen potentials in sub-Saharan Africa and analysis of automated driving’s impact on road networks.
