Efficient supply of green heat to the industry.

The decarbonization of industrial processes plays a vital role in climate protection, as many industries still rely on fossil fuels to generate process heat or to meet their energy needs. However, using fossil fuels in turn creates carbon dioxide (CO₂), which is harmful for the climate. To resolve this problem, we are researching energy alternatives to allow for a more environmentally friendly production process, such as supplying green heat to industry efficiently via high-temperature heat pumps.

We also run simulations of production processes to reveal CO₂ reduction strategies and the way towards a regenerative energy system of the future. At our site in Cottbus, we are working on solutions for the economically viable transformation of industrial and power plant processes into low-carbon technologies. This makes DLR an important partner in the Lusatia region for meeting the regional challenges of structural change. We are creating the future here through research and innovation.
