HAW Hamburg works actively on a wide range of renewable energy topics and in various areas of expertise. It is committed to delivering sustainable solutions to society’s energy-related problems.

With its decision to make the shift to renewable energy sources and away from nuclear power, Germany set out to tackle one of today’s greatest technical and societal challenges. The expansion of renewable energies – especially wind energy – their storage, and the integration of the various energy systems are only some of the areas that HAW Hamburg addresses within the Energy and Sustainability research programme.

The research programme also carries out numerous projects on sustainability-related topics, in particular resource conservation and the impacts of climate change.

With its Competence Center for Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency (CC4E), HAW Hamburg brings together numerous projects and provides important input for teaching. The Energy Campus has also succeeded in significantly strengthening the university's research-specific infrastructure.
