In the small town of Ruhstorf an der Rott, the researchers of the Technology Center for Energy tackle the great questions for a sustainable future: How do we need to design our energy systems based on renewables?
In collaboration with business partners, researchers are developing ways to improve mobility in rural regions and expand e-vehicle charging infrastructure.
Hof University of Applied Sciences is committed to sustainability and “greentech” and is driving innovation through research into sustainable water management.
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.
As a child, Dr Brigadier Libanda was fascinated by the weather report on TV. Today, he researches climate change and searches for solutions to this global problem - currently on a Humboldt Foundation fellowship at the University of Würzburg.
A science and industry consortium is working on a testing station to achieve significantly higher charging rates than have been possible in the past. This is intended to increase the electrification of heavy-load transports in the future. More robust charging points and accordingly configured vehicle components are to drastically reduce charging times for heavy-duty trucks, making electric drives more attractive to freight carriers. The project's objective is to reduce battery charging time to only 15 minutes in the future.
In the future, small and medium-sized enterprises will be expected to include the topics of climate protection and climate neutrality in their information policy to a greater extent than before. The joint project "Climate Reporting at SMEs (KliK)", which started at the University of Bayreuth on 1 October 2022, is aimed at these companies. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is funding ”KliK” as a project on "Climate Protection and the Financial Sector (KlimFi)" for 30 months with around 590,000 euros.
On October 12, 2022, the Center of Energy Technology (ZET) at the University of Bayreuth will host the "Industry Day" for the first time. Representatives of companies from all branches of industry are invited to learn first-hand about the latest findings, innovative applications and cutting-edge technologies in fields of energy research and energy engineering. Together with ZET scientists, they can explore opportunities for cooperation in research and development. Participation is free of charge.
The European electricity market is one of the largest in the world in terms of its size and the volumes of electricity traded. It is divided into bidding zones in which consumers pay an identical price for electricity. This partition and the security of supply is regularly assessed by the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E), which is advised by a panel of international experts on adjustments required by energy policy. Recently, Dr. Martin Weibelzahl from the University of Bayreuth was appointed as a member.
