If Not Us, Who?
Editorial by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Felix Ziegler, Department of Energy Management, Technische Universität Berlin :
Looking at the development of energy industry over the past centuries, an interesting time constant becomes apparent. Up until now, it took about 50 years i.e., two generations, for energy sources (coal, oil, gas) and…
The energy efficient city of tomorrow
Interview with the managers of the project “HighTech – LowEx”:
The project “HighTech – LowEx: Energy efficient Berlin-Adlershof 2020” is the first comprehensive energy concept to be drawn up for a complex urban area used jointly by scientists, researchers, businesses, and…
BESSY II: Snap-shots of dynamic processes at highest spatial resolution
New holographic process uses image-stabilised X-ray camera:
A team headed by Stefan Eisebitt has developed a new X-ray holography method that will enable snap-shots of dynamic processes at highest spatial resolution. The efficiency of the new method is based on a X-ray…
Economical and reliable supply
Adlershof’s energy concept 2020+ is targeting the 30% reduction of primary energy consumption:
Adlershof is growing – and growing at the same time are the energy supply requirements for the Technology Park. “It was forecast a few years ago that the networks in future could be beset with supply problems, so…
How Adlershof can utilise energy more efficiently
The potential of brine systems:
Adlershof as a green paradise. This is one possible future scenario – if you want to use energy particularly efficiently, for instance heating, drying, and air conditioning by means of hygroscopic salt solutions.…
New recipes from the silicon kitchen
Research projects of Helmholtz Institute Silicon Photovoltaics:
No superlative seems to be too small for the miracle material graphene. Its discovery has even reaped a Nobel Prize, the European Union has ploughed billions of euros into its research, and this ultra thin and robust…
Individual connections to cosy wood heat
Plans for an innovative local piped heat system in the project “Wohnen am Campus”:
The project “Wohnen am Campus” (“Living on the Campus”) is giving rise to a residential district at the heart of the Science Location Adlershof. True to this location’s philosophy, this is marked by a high level of…
