Almost one year ago on 22.01.2019 TUM.Battery went online. Thanks to the good preparatory work of the then 8 partner chairs, a website was completed and launched in a very short time with the aim of making the competences and research activities of the TUM scientists in the field of battery research visible to the outside world. Today, after more than one year of cooperation in the TUM.Battery…

The Chair of Energy Systems of the Technical University of Munich was selected by the chair of the KCORC (Knowledge Center Organic Rankine Cycle) to host the world largest ORC conference in 2021. We are highly honored, since this is also proof of the quality of our research and of Munich as a science and engineering hub. We are happy to welcome the ORC Community and to follow-up on the…

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…

LTF launched a joint project with SBES GmbH and AYED-ENGINEERING GmbH in February 2023 for direct hydrogen combustion in the Allison 250-C20B helicopter engine.

"IRIDIOS – low-Ir high efficiency MEA (membrane electrode assembly) for PEM electrolysis stack in MW range" starts for TUM ENS and TUM TEC.

Bauhaus Luftfahrt e. V. is focusing on infrastructural assessments for the use of liquefied green hydrogen at airports within the 328H2-FC project.
