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.

With green finance, greenhouse gases in Austria can be reduced by up to four per cent by 2040 – in the bond market alone. This is the result of our study commissioned by the Ministry for Climate Action.
Prognos supports transmission and distribution system operators in the planning and construction communication of the various power line construction projects at the extra-high and high-voltage level.
The exchange of information and experience within this partnership helps move the energy transition forward in both countries. Prognos is assisting the dena with the implementation of the partnership.
If Germany is to achieve its climate targets, additional efforts will be necessary. We calculated the potential for climate protection in the recycling economy on behalf of the Federal Ministry for the Economy.
Electricity prices are closely linked to the development of gas prices. Using three supply scenarios for natural gas we developed forecasts for the development of electricity prices up to the year 2045.
How can Germany as an industry location achieve net zero by 2045, whilst still maintaining its competitiveness? This study updates our 2021 calculations made on behalf of Agora Think Tanks.
Austria wants a hydrogen network in place by 2030. We investigated how the development of this network can be financed on behalf of the Austrian Climate Protection Ministry.
Prognos is preparing a scenario analysis for dena and the BMWK to calculate the demand for and potential of negative emissions in Germany.
Prognos and its partners support the preparation of the German government's 2025 to 2027 greenhouse gas projection reports.
Using a target scenario, we investigated how Thuringia can achieve its climate goals on behalf of the Thuringian Energy Ministry.
