AB  - With the amendment to the German Climate Change Act in 2021, the FederalGovernment of Germany has set the target to become greenhouse gas neutral by2045. Reaching this ambitious target requires multisectoral efforts, which in turncalls for interdisciplinary collaboration: the Net-Zero-2050 project of theHelmholtz Climate Initiative serves as an example of successful,interdisciplinary collaboration with the aim of producing valuablerecommendations for action to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions in Germany.To this end, we applied an interdisciplinary approach to combiningcomprehensive research results from ten German national research centers inthe context of carbon neutrality in Germany. In this paper, we present ourapproach and the method behind the interdisciplinary storylines development,which enabled us to create a common framework between different carbondioxide removal and avoidance methods and the bigger carbon neutralitycontext. Thus, the research findings are aggregated into narratives: the twocomplementary storylines focus on technologies for net-zero CO2 emissionsand on different framing conditions for implementing net-zero CO2 measures.Moreover, we outline the Net-Zero-2050 results emerging from the two storylinesby presenting the resulting narratives in the context of carbon neutrality inGermany. Aiming at creating insights into how complementary and relatedexpertise can be combined in teams across disciplines, we conclude with theproject’s lessons learned. This paper sheds light on how to facilitate cooperationbetween different science disciplines with the purpose of preparing joint researchresults that can be communicated to a specific audience. Additionally, it providesfurther evidence that interdisciplinary and diverse research teams are an essentialfactor for defining solution spaces for complex, interdisciplinary problems.
