The study “Using market forces for climate protection: Reform impetus for more climate protection in public finances,” proposes eleven measures which, according to the client, pursue three objectives:
The eleven measures proposed by the client will be examined with regard to their climate protection impact, their revenue potential, and their distributional effect.
Germany is in danger of failing to meet its 2030 climate targets. The “traffic light” coalition must therefore get many additional measures off the ground during this parliamentary term. The Forum Ökologisch-Soziale Marktwirtschaft has published an impulse paper in which it proposes eleven market-based measures. We have modelled the climate protection impact of five of the eleven measures and documented the estimates (see study, Annex 1).
We have provided the figures for the following measures and estimated how much they reduce CO2 emissions in each case:
Overall, on the way to the 2030 targets the eleven proposed measures can save more than 25 million tonnes of CO2 per year and have a revenue potential of more than EUR 50 billion.

Prognos evaluates the "Model Projects Smart Cities" (MPSC) funding programme as part of the Coordination and Transfer Office under the direction of the DLR Project Management Agency.
We examined an economic challenge of transformation for the mobility region.
Which carbon accounting requirements will businesses have to be aware of in the future and what, specifically, will present the greatest challenge?
What level of investment will be required to ensure a climate-neutral transport sector by 2045? We calculated this on behalf of Agora Verkehrswende, based on three scenarios.
Digitalisation, decarbonisation, electrification: The German automotive industry faces major challenges. Prognos led the accompanying research to the carbon assessment of the auto industry value chain, on behalf of the BMWK.
The electromobility of the future will interact with other intelligent systems. But for this to be possible digital technologies will have to be standardised. The study shows in which areas standardisation is particularly relevant and how standards are established.
The Federal Government has commissioned Prognos and other scientific institutes to analyse the climate impact of current state subsidies: Which measures are climate-damaging, which are climate-friendly?
Environmental organisations have tasked Prognos with adapting selected assumptions from the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure transport forecasts to facilitate climate-friendly transport development.
The latest geopolitical and economic developments present a challenge for the ecological transi-tion of transport. Prognos develops measures for the BMDV.
On behalf of the Bertelsmann Stiftung, we examined the effects of phasing out climate damaging subsidies in the transport and industry sectors.
