CONSULTING AND RESEARCH IN THE ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SECTOR

NAVIGATing YOU SAFELY THROUGH YOUR EnergY TRANSITION

SERVICES

BOOSTing A NEW ENERGY WORLD

In the energy world, nothing will remain as it was. This realisation is increasingly gaining acceptance in politics as well as in business. And this has consequences – for business models, strategies and laws. We see ourselves as boosters of this change, supporting our customers in shaping their transformation and giving them the necessary back-up to make their energy supply sustainable and their processes climate-neutral.

Our research and consultancy focuses on economic, technological and legal aspects. The results are practical strategies and concepts. With our unconventional way of thinking, we are not always in the mainstream. But the history of energy transition shows that what seemed unthinkable yesterday is becoming reality today.

Our specialist topics

  • Sustainable energy supply
  • Municipal and corporate climate neutrality
  • Heat transition / renewable heat: heat concepts, heat grids, heat storage systems
  • Green energy market
  • Guarantees of origin in all sectors
  • Climate policy and legislation

IN THE GREEN ZONE SINCE 2012

Christian Maaß, Dr. Matthias Sandrock and Robert Werner founded the Hamburg Institut in 2012. Since then, the institute has been sustainably advancing energy transition alongside ministries, municipalities, companies in the energy industry, associations and other actors in Germany and abroad – now with a team of more than 40. A glance at our long list of studies, technical papers and lectures shows how thoroughly we handle a wide range of energy issues and how broadly we are thematically positioned.

THINKing AND WORKing WITH A 360° VIEW

If you are visiting us for the first time in our office in Hamburg-Altona, you should plan some time to see and marvel. It takes a while to enjoy the unobstructed view of the city in all directions. Farsightedness and the claim to always include all perspectives also characterise our thinking and actions – together in the team as well as in cooperation with our customers.

Trust, appreciation and openness are not just phrases at Hamburg Institut, but reality. We believe in flat hierarchies and give every team member plenty of space and creative freedom.
