DLR in Jülich

The DLR site in Jülich employs around 40 people. Here, the Institute of Solar Research operates the Jülich experimental solar thermal power plant. This test facility aims to make solar thermal power more efficient and cost-effective as well as investigate production methods for solar fuels and the use of solar thermal energy for industrial processes.

New DLR institutes will investigate solar-chemical fuels and the future of air transport

July 3, 2020
In the future, mobility needs to become more environmentally friendly – whether synthetic fuels from renewable sources, electricity or hydrogen, innovative and low-emission engines, unmanned and electric aircraft, or concepts for their integration into the air transport system.
DLR at the Paris Air Show 2019

June 17, 2019
The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) will be showcasing its latest projects and research results from 17 to 23 June 2019 at this year’s Paris Air Show. At the joint German stand in Hall 2C, DLR will be featuring its activities in digitalisation, climate change and maintaining mobility.
Safety in solar power plants – silicone oil passes final qualification test

August 2, 2018
There are currently no uniformly applicable standards or regulations for approval and market introduction of novel heat transfer fluid for operation in solar thermal parabolic trough power plants. In principle, the medium must be independently qualified in terms of its chemical and thermodynamic properties.
Weather phenomena – the monsoon is both a pollutant remover and a carrier

June 15, 2018
The world's largest weather phenomenon – the South Asian monsoon – purifies the air efficiently, acting as a kind of cleaning agent for pollutants, but it also enables their distribution across the globe. The results of the international research project OMO (Oxidation Mechanism Observation) have now been published in the journal Science.
Solar receiver CentRec passes test at over 900 degrees Celsius

June 14, 2018
Researchers at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) have taken a major step forward in the development of receiver technology for solar tower power plants. The innovative radiation receiver CentRec in the solar tower at the DLR facility in Jülich passed its first test at extremely high temperatures in May 2018. During the test, the researchers heated ceramic particles in the receiver to over 965 degrees Celsius, and in doing so demonstrated that concentrated solar radiation can be used to generate and store energy at very high temperatures.
ONERA and DLR perform Beluga XL ground vibration testing

June 7, 2018
A joint team from the French aerospace research centre ONERA and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) performed the ground vibration testing (GVT) of the new Airbus Beluga XL large transport aircraft.
European-wide research flights focus on greenhouse gas methane

June 1, 2018
Effective monitoring of greenhouse gases is required to achieve ambitious targets for limiting greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the sources and sinks of greenhouse gases must be understood as precisely as possible to produce reliable climate forecasts. From mid-May to mid-June 2018, a flight test campaign led by the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) is contributing to this international effort.
HALO research aircraft measures the emissions of megacities

March 21, 2018
Air quality in major cities is a hot topic, especially with regard to road traffic and residents' health. However, emissions do not just remain in conurbations. Instead, particles and gaseous pollutants can often be transported thousands of kilometres by the wind.
A look back at 2017 - The largest artificial Sun in the world, seven new institutes and a new DLR strategy

December 21, 2017
In 2017, the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) – in close cooperation with the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) - committed to a new strategy that targets long-term future goals.
A better understanding of geo-risks – focusing on the Andes

December 7, 2017
More and more people around the world are flocking to cities, creating densely populated regions. This also means that natural disasters pose a threat to a greater number of people, and that risk has been rising for decades worldwide.
