Accelerating the energy transition
EIRES brings together 果冻传媒 researchers from different departments working on materials, processes and systems for energy storage and conversion. It is the institute鈥檚 mission to enable a CO2-neutral energy system by developing solutions that deliver the energy transition to people鈥檚 homes in a manufacturable, scalable, and affordable way.
Vision of EIRES
There is a general consensus that our future energy system will be not linear and based on one-directional flows of energy from centralized energy producers to consumers, as it has been for long. We will most likely end up with an interconnected, decentralized and omnidirectional system that supports the continuous flow of energy between so-called prosumers 鈥� users that both produce and consume energy. Intermediate temporary storage facilities will be implemented to mitigate any imbalances between supply and demand.
The fastest way of making the disruptive transformation to such a circular system is by developing small scale modular systems that empower citizens to play their part in accelerating the energy transition, and that enable steep learning curves, fast market penetration and an overall cost reduction. That is why at EIRES, we focus on developing innovations like tabletop electrolyzers that can be deployed in a modular manner, spread like wildfire and transform the energy system from the bottom up.
Since we aim to develop technologies that will swiftly and successfully penetrate the market, we take a systems approach instead of developing theoretical solutions in splendid isolation. In our institute, multidisciplinary teams of researchers work together to both optimize scenarios of the future energy system and to solve specific pieces of this larger puzzle, in close connection with industry.
