Technologies for the energy transition: High-temperature heat pumps and thermal storage power plants

Whether in power plants for electricity and heat or for the production of steel, aluminum, cement and chemical as well as petroleum-based products - the underlying processes are very complex and energy-intensive. The aim of DLR's research work is to make these processes more sustainable and efficient, thereby contributing to the achievement of global climate targets and also securing the future viability of these industries.
