High energy prices threaten economic stability, public acceptance of the transition, and the country\u2019s industrial base, which is why investments must be targeted at cost-reducing, efficient, and resilient technologies. The central measure of success is the energy costs faced by end consumers. Risks such as stranded assets, technological lock-ins, and geopolitical dependencies further increase the pressure to invest strategically and with technological openness in order to ensure long-term energy security and achieve climate targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/LDES_The-First-Principles-Playbook_SPRIND_TechforNetZero-1.pdf\">Document (download PDF)<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);grid-template-columns:20% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"401\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Lechtenfeld_TfNZ.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4056 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Lechtenfeld_TfNZ.png 401w, https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Lechtenfeld_TfNZ-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Lechtenfeld_TfNZ-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 401px) 100vw, 401px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><em><em>\u201e<em>Only by aligning competitiveness, energy security, and decarbonization &#8211; and underpinning them with clear investment guardrails &#8211; can the energy transition succeed in a way that is both economically viable and politically supported.<\/em><\/em><\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Tobias Lechtenfeld, <br>Executive Director of Tech for Net Zero<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201eOnly by aligning competitiveness, energy security, and decarbonization &#8211; and underpinning them with clear investment guardrails &#8211; can the energy transition succeed in a way that is both economically viable and politically supported.&#8220; Dr. Tobias Lechtenfeld, Executive Director of Tech for Net Zero<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":5910,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5882","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-publications"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5882"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5882\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5902,"href":"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5882\/revisions\/5902"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techfornetzero.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
