DLR energy research provides vital contributions to the decarbonised energy system of the future and to the transition phase. The focus is on sustainable energy supply as a key element to shaping the energy system transformation and achieving national and global climate goals. The portfolio includes renewable energy production, energy conversion technologies and energy storage as well as energy system analysis.
The Institute of Low-Carbon Industrial Processes expands DLR's research portfolio by focusing on CO2 reduction in industrial processes. The focus is on the specific requirements and research needs for decarbonization in many industrial sectors (paper, food, plastics, steel, cement, petrochemicals, chemicals, aluminum production). At the same time, the institute's research topics complement DLR developments on sustainable power generation and storage.
Thus, the Institute of Low-Carbon Industrial Processes strengthens DLR’s competences in the socially and economically highly relevant field of energy research and making a significant contribution to the major challenge to significantly reduce CO2 and pollutant emissions from industrial processes and power plants in the decade to come.
