As a lawyer and Fellow at Ecologic Institute, Lina-Marie Dück focuses on the legal aspects of environmental policy development. She works primarily on projects concerning energy markets and the integration of renewable energies. Her project portfolio includes, inter alia, policy assessments and advisory work for national agencies on legislative reforms in the energy sector, the development of recommendations on possible enforcement instruments for environmental policy, and the organization of a research project on climate litigation. Lina-Marie works in German, English and French.

At Ecologic Institute, Lina-Marie Dück works primarily for the Energy Team and Ecologic Legal. In the past, she supported the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) with her legal expertise. There, she was part of the accompanying research process for Germany's major energy research program SINTEG, which tested innovative solutions for a fully renewable energy system.  

Before working for the Ecologic Institute, Lina-Marie Dück held the position of a judge at the Administrative Court in Cologne (Germany) for almost four years, with responsibilities, in areas such as water protection law, telecommunications and asylum law. Lina-Marie Dück also worked for the law firm Geulen & Klinger in Berlin in the field of environmental and climate protection law. As a trainee lawyer, she was particularly active in the field of criminal law defense and start-up advisory services. 

Lina-Marie Dück passed both state examinations in law with distinction. She completed her law degree at the Bucerius Law School Hamburg (Germany) with a focus on public commercial law in 2012 and received an interdisciplinary European Master of Law and Economics (EMLE or LLM) from the universities of Hamburg, Bologna (Italy) and Aix-en-Provence (France) in 2014. Her master's thesis focused on the complexity of regulations in the pharmaceutical market and their impact on the behavior of market players. During her studies, Lina-Marie Dück received a scholarship from the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.

This research project will examine various proposals for providing low-cost electricity from renewable energies for industry on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK). The aim is to ensure the availability of green electricity for industry at stable, favorable prices so that companies can invest in climate-neutral production processes

Roofs still offer enormous potential for solar electricity generation. In order to achieve the ambitious expansion targets of the German government, this potential must be raised. In a new project, Ecologic Institute and the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) analyze different system concepts and evaluate their economic viability. Existing barriers to the expansion of photovoltaic systems on buildings are identified and the extent to which the Renewable Energy Sources Act 2023 will remove these barriers is examined. As a result of the project, recommendations for further improvements of the regulatory framework will be elaborated.

As part of the implementation of its NDC, the Chinese government is focusing on further developing its climate legislation, which includes the design of a Chinese climate legislation framework. Through the climate legislation workstream of the project "Sino-German Cooperation on Climate Change – Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC)", the Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) supports the Chinese side by strengthening exchange between experts and stakeholders from the two countries and providing information on German and EU experience in this field.

The Covid-19 pandemic and, most recently, the war that has erupted in Ukraine have shown that such crises can have a major impact on European emissions trading. This raises the central question: Can and must the European emissions trading system become more crisis-proof? In the present project, concrete crisis scenarios are developed that could put a strain on the European emissions trading system (EU ETS). This is followed by an analysis of the possibilities that the existing laws and regulations offer for reacting to such crises. The further aim of the project is to show ways to improve the handling of crises within the trading system.

Cover of the publication "Handlungsempfehlungen der SINTEG-Schaufenster zur Anpassung des Rechtsrahmens. Bericht für die Fachöffentlichkeit"
In the "Smart Energy Showcase" programme (SINTEG), more than 300 research institutes and companies in five model regions developed solutions for a future energy system that will be entirely based on renewable energies. The participants not only developed new technologies, processes and market mechanisms, they also proposed changes to the legal framework that would allow those solutions to be scaled up. Commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Economics and Energy that initiated SINTEG, Ecologic Institute just published a systematic overview of the issues addressed in these proposals for regulatory change. Moreover, the report discusses the proposals in the context of the ongoing national energy policy debate.

Climate lawsuits have become a frequently chosen tool in the fight for more ambitious climate policies in recent years. In the extensive reporting on this topic, one aspect has so far been neglected: the differences between the jurisprudence in the Global South and the Global North. To address the related issues, Verfassungsblog, Völkerrechtsblog and the journal World Comparative Law (WCL) in cooperation with the Ecologic Institute are organizing an online symposium on the subject of "Comparative Climate Litigation in North-South Perspective".

By 2030, 80% of the electricity generated in Germany is to come from renewable sources. For this to succeed, electricity market regulations must be further developed. On behalf of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Environment, Ecologic Institute analyzes various fundamental questions regarding the marketing and promotion of renewable energies. In an interdisciplinary research team led by consentec, Ecologic Institute is responsible for energy law-related issues. Among the central topics are reform approaches for the Renewable Energy Sources Act, the regional steering of the development of renewable energy sources, the marketing of green electricity and the regulation on self-consumption of solar energy.
