General German Automobile Club e.V. (ADAC)
2024
Mobility in Germany is becoming increasingly sustainable. However, the transport sector is yet to achieve its national and international climate targets. This is for the most part due to road traffic – cars remain Germany’s preferred mode of transport.
On behalf of the ADAC, Prognos compiled the ADAC Mobility Index 2024. In this third edition, we examined the latest available data on transport behaviour in Germany. The index provides a scientifically based data base giving a transparent overview of how the transport sector is developing. Equally, it creates a basis for objective discussion, which can enable sustainable changes in mobility.
The index is based on scientific methods and publicly available data that map mobility in individual and public transport. In the process, short as well as long-term changes are documented, evaluated and their origins analysed. Sustainability in the Mobility Index is based on ecological, economical and social aspects that are assessed across five areas: transport safety, climate and environment, availability, reliability, and affordability.
The year 2015 serves as the base year with an index value of 100. Around 85 percent of the data comes from public statistics, the remaining 15 percent were made available by trade associations and businesses.

Prognos and its partners support the preparation of the German government's 2025 to 2027 greenhouse gas projection reports.
On behalf of the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE), we conduct an annual analysis of the development of energy consumption in Switzerland.
The analysis for the Federal Office of Energy shows that final energy consumption has fallen significantly since 2000, mainly thanks to savings in space and process heating. At the same time, demand has risen in areas such as electrical appliances and building services. Consumption has not changed significantly since 2020.
How far have systems for storing and extracting CO2 developed in Europe? Our study for the German Environment Agency evaluated planned and ongoing CO2 capture projects in Europe, focusing on BECCUS and DACCUS projects.
Methane emissions from landfills are an often underestimated climate challenge. On commission by Kanadevia Inova, we investigated how these emissions develop over time and what levels they reach.
On behalf of the Energy Agency for Electrical Appliances (eae), Prognos annually examines the development in the efficiency of electrical appliances and their influence on energy consumption in Switzerland.
Prognos has been providing communications support for the network expansion of distribution network operator Schleswig-Holstein Netz since 2006.
In recent years, Europe has maintained its strong position in the global market for clean energy technologies, but faces growing competition. On behalf of the European Commission, we examined the competitiveness of these technologies.
How effective are EU cohesion and structural policies in driving green change in Europe? We examined this and other questions together with COWI, Milieu and CSIL on behalf of the European Commission (DG REGIO).
The Federal Ministry of Economics promotes digital technologies that drive forward the economy’s green transformation. Together with partners, we are responsible for the accompanying research.
We combine economic research and strategy consulting for sustainable decisions in politics, business and society. Our robust data, precise analyses and scientifically based findings enable fact-based progress – financially independent, politically neutral.
