The EU Horizon project RENergetic is researching how renewable energy hubs—energy islands—can optimize energy self-sufficiency. As part of the project, a team from the University of Passau is developing smart solutions integrating IT and legal perspectives.
In the small town of Ruhstorf an der Rott, researchers at the Technology Center for Energy are tackling the big sustainability questions of our time: How should we design energy systems of the future?
In collaboration with business partners, researchers are developing ways to improve mobility in rural regions and expand e-vehicle charging infrastructure.
Harnessing sunlight for a cleaner tomorrow: Five Bavarian universities unite in "SolTech" to pioneer next-gen solar energy technologies—from green hydrogen to hybrid systems—for a sustainable global energy future.
One hundred years after it was founded, the Margaretenau building cooperative is getting a facelift. Researchers on the MAGGIE project are working to ensure the renovations deliver energy savings and meet climate targets.
Postdoc Chandra Macauley researches fuel cell structures at Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg—one of the top locations for materials science in Germany.
An international research team led by the University of Bayreuth has developed an innovative method for producing green hydrogen directly from seawater – without the use of additional reagents. The researchers report their groundbreaking findings in the prestigious Journal of the American Chemical Society.
The energy transition is inextricably linked to social, economic, and political challenges, especially in rural areas. Researchers from Würzburg and Denmark are therefore calling for a new, holistic approach.
The German Research Foundation (DFG) has accepted Dr. Helen Grüninger into its prestigious Emmy Noether Programme. Based at the Northern Bavarian NMR Centre (NBNC) and the Bavarian Battery Centre (BayBatt) at the University of Bayreuth, the Emmy Noether junior research group is exploring photobatteries that combine the properties of solar cells and batteries.
In a world-first for battery research, researchers from the University of Bayreuth and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have employed a so-called multi-agent network in battery design. This AI-based tool enables the rapid generation of promising proposals for new battery materials, thereby advancing the development of long-lasting and sustainable next-generation batteries. The researchers report their findings in the prestigious journal Advanced Materials.
