Decentralised power stations: greater efficiency through combined heat and power


9 March 2010
Small Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants, which generate power and heat in the immediate vicinity of consumers, can augment the output of large power stations effectively and with low emissions – to the benefit of hospitals, industrial plants, nursery schools or even residential households. To drive forward the development of decentralised power plants, Energie Baden-Württemberg AG (EnBW) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Stuttgart have launched a collaborative project.

Designer fuels for aviation


28 January 2010
Designer fuels based on coal, natural gas and sustainable biomass could, in the future, replace kerosene in aviation. In the search for alternatives to crude oil, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) has been conducting research into new synthetic fuels for aviation for several years. Current results show that future fuels may even be superior to kerosene with regard to environmental friendliness and engine reliability.
