Project insights: Research for the energy transition

In the CAPITANO project, researchers have developed a tandem solar cell that combines two thin-film-based solar cell types (perovskite and CIGS).

A large proportion of Germany’s CO₂ emissions can be attributed to the supply of heat.

We already have the technology to implement the energy, transport, and heating transition on a local scale 100 % renewable energy.

Photovoltaic thermal systems can generate electricity and heat with solar energy.

This project is aimed at developing and testing innovative strategies for the energy-efficient operational management of non-residential buildings.

A team in the "FW-Liner" project has investigated how district heating pipelines can be renovated in a resource-saving way.

The INNOMET project team has succeeded in printing fine-line contacts with a triangular cross-section on crystalline solar cells.

The listed settlement Margarethenhöhe in Essen is a historic residential quarter. Many buildings remained almost unchanged since their construction.

In selected districts in Jena, experts will demonstrate how energy producers, storage systems, and consumers can be intelligently linked.
