The Energy Lab 2.0 at KIT - A Platform for Research on Future Energy Grids, Energy Storage and Synthetic Fuels

By 2025, 80% of Germany's energy should be produced from renewable sources. However, wind or solar energy cannot be generated consistently everywhere. Energy is often needed far away from where it is generated, and peak loads can be expected at certain times. As Europe's largest research infrastructure for renewable energy, the Energy Lab 2.0 finds answers to all these questions.

Here, the intelligent networking of environmentally friendly energy generators and storage methods are investigated. In addition, energy systems of the future are simulated and tested based on real consumer data. Another highlight is the Power-to-liquid plant with an optimized reactor design that combines synthesis gas generation from CO2 directly with fuel production.

The HECTOR School hosts the presentation of KIT Professor Roland Dittmeyer, Director of the Institute for Micro Process Engineering (IMVT). Hear more about the Energy Lab 2.0 and Re-Fuels role in reaching the climate goals.

The Info Session will take place on November 11, 2021 05:30 PM
