DLR in Zittau

At its Cottbus and Zittau sites, DLR is expanding its expertise in energy research with the new Institute of Low-Carbon Industrial Processes. The aim is to significantly reduce carbon dioxide and pollutant emissions from industry and power plants through the decarbonisation of energy-intensive sectors of industry and to promote sustainable power generation and storage.

Awakening the sleeping giant
In public discussions about the energy transition, the field of sustainable heat use has long been in the shadows. The focus has been on electricity from renewable energy sources, and how best to generate and distribute it in large quantities. For those outside a relatively closed circle of house builders and renovators dealing directly with heating technology, building insulation and heat pumps, the ‘heat transition’ has passed largely unnoticed – until now.
DLR presents technologies for decarbonisation in the energy, industrial and mobility sectors

May 25, 2022
The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) will be presenting technologies, innovations and successful transfer and spin-off projects at Hannover Messe 2022.
DLRmagazine 168 – Qubits hit the ground running

September 14, 2021
A chip can be the heart of a quantum computer. Atoms or ions can be separately trapped on it. These can serve as information carriers, so-called qubits or quantum bits. Quantum computing is expected to open up new opportunities in materials research, medicine and the energy and transport sectors.
Research for environment-friendly production plants

March 10, 2021
How can industrial processes be designed to generate fewer harmful greenhouse gases and how can existing plants be adapted to take on the challenges of decarbonisation? These are the research focuses of the new Institute of Low-Carbon Industrial Processes at the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
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.
