معرفی
Benjamin Lux is a Researcher and Coordinator of the Business Unit Electricity Markets and Infrastructures at the Department of Energy Policy and Energy Markets, Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research (ISI). His work focuses on modeling the supply-side of the European energy system, particularly the integration of power-to-X technologies and hydrogen systems. He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), where his dissertation addressed hydrogen systems and negative emissions via DACCS in a greenhouse gas-neutral energy system. He also studied physics and management at the Universities of Ulm and Leeds.
His research interests include energy system modeling, hydrogen infrastructure, climate mitigation strategies, and the interplay between renewable energy deployment and infrastructure planning. Lux has contributed to numerous reports and studies on hydrogen economics, energy policy, and decarbonization pathways, emphasizing the role of international cooperation and financing mechanisms for energy transition.
Key contributions include analyzing hydrogen demand elasticity, infrastructure planning, and the implications of import prices on Germany's energy system. His work bridges technical modeling with policy recommendations, addressing challenges in achieving climate neutrality through systemic and interdisciplinary approaches.
