Energy research
The wide range of expertise, combined with state-of-the-art research facilities and close collaboration with partners from industry, academia and politics, is what sets research at the CC4E apart. The CC4E takes a holistic approach to the energy transition – from production and storage to distribution and use of energy, as well as the accompanying social challenges. The CC4E’s core areas of expertise lie in the following fields:
Across all its research fields, the CC4E possesses a high level of project expertise – from the initial idea right through to conception, application, management and implementation. Within this framework, the CC4E also places particular emphasis on the relevant innovation management, which primarily involves the systematic management and planning of projects. Furthermore, it is important to evaluate technologies and market conditions and to bring innovations to fruition.
The overarching objective of the Federal Climate Protection Act is a binding reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of at least 65% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. Emissions are to be reduced by at least 88% by 2040, with the aim of achieving greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045. In the long term, after 2050, negative emissions are to be achieved. To support these goals, the CC4E conducts intensive research and, together with its partners, contributes to the success of the energy transition.
