E+E Profile Topics

Within the research field Energy and Environment (E+E), the integrity of our research is expressed through dynamically developing profile topics. Collaborative research projects, which are thematically and methodologically linked, correspond to each profile topic.

Carbon Neutral Circles

We are researching hydrogen and metals as energy storage for climate-neutral energy cycles, in order to realise climate-neutrality post-haste.

Computational Engineering

We are researching methods for computer-based modelling and simulation to optimise future technical systems, so that novel and sustainable technologies, processes, and products can be created.

Integrated Energy Systems

We are researching intelligent energy systems of the future in which electricity, heat, and mobility are tied together, so that sustainable energy supply is ensured constantly and universally, even in the event of volatile demand.

Scalable Clean Water Cycles

We are researching solutions which enable sustainable management of our water resources so that water is available to all in good quality and sufficient quantity, even in times of climate change.

Thermo-Fluids and Interfacial Phenomena

We are investigating the relationships between flows and their interactions with interfaces in detail, so that novel and resource-saving processes of energy conversion and process engineering can be more conceivable and feasible.
