Professor Olav Hohmeyer holds the Chair of Energy and Resource Economics at the European University of Flensburg within the Interdisciplinary Institute for Environmental, Social and Human Sciences. He has been a faculty member since July 1998 and established the industrial engineering program "Energy and Environmental Management." His institutional affiliations include the German Advisory Council on the Environment (2008-2012) and ongoing advisory roles for Barbados and Seychelles on energy transitions.
His research centers on energy systems analysis with a focus on achieving 100% renewable energy supply. Key research areas include climate change mitigation strategies, renewable energy economics, grid integration challenges, and policy frameworks for decarbonization. His work emphasizes systemic transformation of energy infrastructure and cross-sectoral coordination for climate neutrality.
Professor Hohmeyer's publication portfolio reveals strong thematic concentration on renewable energy pathways, climate protection concepts, and economic analysis of energy transitions. His work spans technical feasibility studies, policy implementation frameworks, and socioeconomic impact assessments, with particular emphasis on municipal and national decarbonization roadmaps.
