The federal government invested around 1.31 billion euros in research into climate-friendly technologies last year. The number comes from the federal report on energy research, which is to be adopted by the cabinet this Wednesday and from which the “Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland” quotes. In total, the federal government funded almost 7,000 research, development and demonstration projects with 878.2 million euros in 2021.

A further 314.4 million euros flowed into the institutional funding of the research field energy of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. The federal report on energy research is intended to provide a detailed overview of the federal government’s funding policy. The focus is on the accelerated transfer of innovations into practice in the energy industry.
The report also presents selected projects that contribute in a special way to the progress of the energy transition. The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection is in charge of the energy research programme. In addition, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research is involved in basic research, the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture in the field of bioenergy and the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection for the promotion of nuclear safety research.
