Research

We need affordable and scalable systems and devices to transport, convert and store energy in different forms, like electrons, molecules, or heat. This requires breakthroughs in materials research and energy conversion devices, including their critical materials interfaces, and in process and engineering knowledge of devices and systems. To make the proper design decisions about our future multi-carrier energy system, systems integration and scenario studies of the energy system as a whole are crucial.
