Ariadne Pathfinder

Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research

Design: Scholz & Volkmer GmbH

Germany's goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2045 will necessitate rapid and far-reaching changes in energy policy. The Ariadne Pathfinder shows how this can be achieved. Interactive storytelling introduces users to the basic issues of CO2 emissions and energy supply. Animated graphics illustrate the implications of different technological approaches to the overall energy system as well as to individual sectors of transport, industry and buildings. The application is based on more than 16,000 data sets, from which the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research developed calculation models and future scenarios.
