• Geothermal energy for the heating transition: Supervision of the rollout of medium-depth geothermal energy in Germany (Warm-Up)

  As a renewable energy source, geothermal energy can increasingly replace fossil fuels and thus contribute to climate protection and create added value locally. Despite great potential, the share of heat from deep geothermal [...] More

• Suburban Heat Shift 2 Innovation district heating in agglomeration belts using the example of of the existing quarter “Leeste”: Project phase 2 Implementation

  Heating networks play an important role in climate-neutral heat supply. The project aims to provide scientific support for the implementation of a grid-connected supply approach in the center of Leeste in the Lower Saxon [...] More

• Accompanying Scientific Research for Energiewendebauen Research Initiative – Districts module

  Neighborhood energy concepts can enable new paths for higher energy efficiency and renewable energies at the local level by taking an integrated view of energy generation, consumption and decentralized infrastructure. For [...] More

• Handbook Heat Transition in Communities Municipalities set the pace for the heating transition

  The heat transition has been omnipresent in public discourse since the Russian war of aggression on Ukraine and is receiving a great deal of political attention. With the “Gebäudeenergiegesetz” and the “Wärmeplanungsgesetz”, [...] More

• Determination of the potential of waste heat in Berlin

  In the Berlin Energy and Climate Protection Act, the state of Berlin has set itself the binding goal of becoming climate neutral by 2045 at the latest. Whether this goal is achieved depends largely on the development of the [...] More

• UMAS: Underground Methanization in Aquifer Storage

  Gas in the form of methane and hydrogen will very likely be an important source of energy in the future, also in order to compensate for fluctuating renewable energies. Therefore, storage systems are gaining in importance. [...] More

• Social and environmental heat transition in Berlin A project of the joint program ‘Knowledge. Transformation. Berlin’ by the research partnership Ecornet Berlin

  

  About half of Berlin’s carbon dioxide emissions stem from heating buildings. Reducing the demand for heat through energy-efficient building refurbishment and shifting to renewable energy and waste heat for heating are the two [...] More

• Suburban Heat Shift Innovation district heating in agglomeration belts using the example of of the existing quarter “Leeste”: Project phase 1

  A third of the final energy consumption in Germany is used for heating and hot water. Thus, heat consumption is an important factor when it comes to tackling global challenges such as climate change, energy efficiency and [...] More
