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, but also on other topics in environmental law; her working languages are German (native language), English and French.

At Ecologic Institute, Lina-Marie works mainly for the Energy Team and Ecologic Legal. In current projects, she is investigating the legal aspects of the crisis resilience of the EU ETS on behalf of the German Emissions Trading Authority (DEHSt) and the options for reducing methane emissions for the Environmental Defense Fund Europe (EDFE).

Prior to this, she analyzed the possibility of capacity markets in Germany and the smart meter rollout in Germany as part of the EU Horizon 2020 research project "Transformative Policies for a Climate Neutral European Union (4i-TRACTION)". In other projects, she dealt with restrictions on PV expansion in the building sector and supported the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate (BMWK) in a project consortium in the development of an industrial electricity price and as part of the accompanying research process for Germany's major energy research program SINTEG, which tested innovative solutions for a fully renewable energy system. She was also involved in the revision of soil protection law on behalf of the German Environment Agency (UBA).

Before joining Ecologic Institute, Lina-Marie Dück worked for the law firm Geulen&Klinger in Berlin in the field of environmental and climate protection law. Prior to that, she was a judge at the Administrative Court of Cologne for almost four years, with responsibilities in the areas of water protection and nature conservation law, telecommunications and asylum law, among others. As a trainee lawyer, she worked in particular in the field of criminal public defense and corporate consulting for start-ups.

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.

Cover of a publication titled 'Restrictions on the Use of Photovoltaic Electricity in Buildings'. The image shows solar panels on a balcony with lush plants in the background and a city skyline in the distance. In the top right corner is the logo of the Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Development next to the title. The names of the authors are listed below: Katharina Umpfenbach, Lina-Marie Dück, Tobias Kelm, Felix Dengler, Ricarda Faber, and Michael Jakob.
To achieve the ambitious climate targets of the Federal Climate Change Act a rapid expansion of renewable energies, particularly wind and photovoltaics (PV), is crucial. In this context, achieving 215 GW of installed PV capacity by 2030 has become a specific target of the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). This report deals with the central role that buildings play in meeting PV expansion targets, with the potential to cover up to 25% of EU electricity consumption through rooftop PV.

Lina-Marie Dück, Fellow of Ecologic Institute, presented a case study examining climate change litigation in Germany at a workshop held online in Beijing and Berlin. The study highlighted seven distinct cases, encompassing matters related to climate mitigation at both federal and state levels, as well as within specific administrative decisions concerning project approval.

Revising soil protection law
This draft report compiles seven legal discussion papers that were produced as part of a research project for the Federal Environment Ministry on modernising soil protection law. The discussion papers serve as a technical basis for preparing a draft bill and address the challenges identified by the BMUV in an evaluation (white paper of March 2022). The discussion papers elaborate several options and explain their pros and cons. They are intended to stimulate a broader technical discussion on soil protection law.

Cover of the report titled 'National case study report #4'. At the top, a modern logo consisting of intertwined loops in multiple colors, representing the brand '4i TRACTION', which stands for innovation, investment, infrastructure, and integration. Below the logo, in a clear, bold font, introduce the main title 'Germany’s delayed electricity smart meter rollout and its implications on innovation, infrastructure, integration, and social acceptance'. Add a subtitle 'An ex-post analysis' in a smaller font.
This case study shows that to achieve the digitalization of our energy systems and reach climate neutrality by 2050, policymakers must take a truly transformative approach and simultaneously address the core challenges of innovation, infrastructure, integration, and social acceptance. Future research should also include investment needs and the costs that relate to a smart meter rollout, e.g. the digitalization of our energy networks and the extension of supporting infrastructures.

Project
 
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.
