Michael Reichel (ari)The change in strategy towards renewable energy sources, which is necessary from an ecological and economic point of view, requires the development of new technologies on an unprecedented scale and in many different areas. Established methods and processes in the generation, transport and use of energy sources must be adapted in a complex transformation process. However, effective and economically viable technologies are often still lacking, especially in the details of implementation.
Scientists from various disciplines at TU Ilmenau have been working intensively in the field of energy research for years in order to answer the multitude of still unanswered questions regarding the energy transition.
Within the framework of the "Theme Year Energy", we would like to make the complexity and breadth of the joint efforts in this scientific field more visible and provide insights into our research activities. We report on ongoing projects and invite you to events on the topic of energy.
If you have any questions about our research, please do not hesitate to contact us!
Your Prof. Kai-Uwe Sattler | President of TU Ilmenau
October 2020 Interview with Prof. Kai-Uwe Sattler and Prof. Dirk Westermann on the launch of the Energy theme year.
"At our university, we teach and research in the field of energy technology, among other things, and would like to make a contribution to society against the backdrop of climate change."
