Vortrag von Prof. Christian Hasse bei „acatech am Dienstag“

Welche Rolle können chemische Energiespeicher für die Energiewende spielen? Derzeit steht Wasserstoff als Energieträger der Zukunft im Fokus, relativ neu in der Diskussion hingegen ist Eisen als Energiespeicher. Dies war auch Thema eines Impulsvortrags von Christian Hasse bei der Veranstaltungsreihe „acatech am Dienstag“ am 28 November 2023. Experten diskutierten über chemische Speicheroptionen, deren technologische Reife- und Wirkungsgrade. Auch die Herausforderungen der Grundlagenforschung und Fragen des Transports waren Teil des Austauschs.

TV report from the program “alles wissen” about Clean Circles

The editorial team and a camera crew from the program “alles wissen” visited the Clean Circles project in November 2023 to find out more about why energy storage is the key to the energy transition and what special role iron plays in this.

With Prof. 28 November 2023 with Christian Hasse, Prof. Katharina Kohse-Höinghaus and Prof. Maximilian Fleischer

What role do chemical energy storage systems play in the energy transition? Hydrogen is currently the focus of attention. Relatively new to the discussion is iron as energy carrier. On 28 November 2023, the “acatech am Dienstag” series of events will be dedicated to the topic of chemical storage options. Technological maturity, efficiency, aspects of transport and import will be discussed against the background of international energy partnerships. Panelists are Prof. Christian Hasse (Clean Circles), Prof. Katharina Kohse-Höinghaus (University of Bielefeld) and Prof. Maximilian Fleischer (Siemens Energy).

Clean Circles organizes conference on Metal-enabled Cycle of Renewable Energy (MECRE)

The 2nd International MECRE Conference will be held from 13–15 November 2024 in Darmstadt, Germany.

Frame promotion processes generated by the EU’s bet on hydrogen

In decarbonising energy-intensive sectors, the EU will continue to rely on energy imports from partner countries. In a new article, Clean Circles researchers analyse framing processes in the public discourse that have emerged since the EU's strategy shift towards hydrogen.
