With climate change becoming an increasing challenge, use of alternative sources of energy and adjustments in industrial processes are gaining substantial relevance. Approaches to limit and reduce CO2 emissions as well as to utilize CO2 as feedstock have hence shifted into our focus. The energy sector and industry globally intensify their strive for innovative approaches for sustainable and…

The upcoming spring school organized as part of the DFG Priority Program 1984 will provide an opportunity for participants to engage with leading experts in the field of hybrid and multimodal energy systems. The program will consist of a series of lectures, discussions, and workshops aimed at exploring the latest research on system theoretical methods for the transformation and operation of…

The Chair for Sustainable Future Mobility (Prof. Jocher) is researching various aspects of the operational safety of today's staged aircraft engine combustion chambers with hydrogen as part of a large research network.

Large-bore engines are widely used in marine shipping and on-shore power generation. Methane as a fuel with reduced carbon footprint has been replacing heavy fuel oil (HFO) for the past years and engines have been retrofitted to accept gaseous fuels. With the expectedly increasing supply of green hydrogen, however, come new chances and challenges for engine development.

In the future, research will be conducted in the Bavarian chemical triangle on the climate-neutral transformation of the entire chemical industry in Germany. The main focus will be on the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier and starting material for important basic chemicals. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is funding the "Burghausen H2 Reallaboratory" joint project…
