New technologies are key to the success of energy transition: In order to store and transport renewable energy in large quantities and over longer periods of time, chemical energy sources that can be integrated into a CO2-neutral circular energy economy are necessary. In addition to hydrogen and e-fuels, metals are particularly suitable to the task.
In the profile topic Carbon-Neutral Circles, these innovative storage materials and their use for future-oriented energy cycles are being researched. We cover a wide range of topics, from the fundamental level of chemical reactions to the science-based development of processes, the realisation of demonstrators, and the testing of pilot systems.
It is important to us that these innovative energy cycles are based on forward-looking energy storage systems and that they incur the lowest possible social and environmental costs.
This profile topic makes important contributions to forward-looking energy cycles in order to safely meet the demand for renewable energy in all areas of application, e.g. in buildings, for mobility and industry—simply and independently of production.
