Project insights: Research for the energy transition

Using electricity from waste incineration plants to produce hydrogen, which in a further step reacts with Carbon dioxide to form methanol.

If a production pump of a geothermal power plant fails, it's removed from the borehole together with the production pipes and transported to the surf.

The investment costs are in the double-digit million range. New methods combine satellite, airborne and terrestrial data.

Solar power plants can be operated more efficiently if the solar radiation is known precisely.

A floating platform with a modular turbine system uses the tidal current.

Reduce production costs of solar cells by optimizing the screen printing process and the passivation of the cells.

New strategies for the operating phase and maintenance of wind farms significantly reduce costs.

New heat carrier, the silicone oil HELIOSOL 5A can be used in solar thermal power plants even at higher operating temperatures.

In off-grid areas, PV electricity can supplement and, as far as possible, replace diesel generators.
