Starting signal for ElecT-Flex

Published by

The combustion of fossil fuels in coal, oil and gas-fired power plants is responsible for around 37% of energy-related emissions in Germany.

At the latest since the #ParisAgreement of 2015, in which 195 countries committed to reducing greenhouse gases, one thing is clear:

🚫It is not a question of whether change is necessary,
…rather the question is: ➡️ How can this change be achieved quickly?

According to the iea – Global Overview, the share of renewable energies in electricity generation is expected to rise from 30 % to 46 % by 2030.

By 2029, electricity generation from solar energy is even set to become the largest renewable energy source, followed by wind power.

We take a very positive view of this development.

Nevertheless, the increase in these renewable energy sources brings with it fluctuations in the electricity grid. As the availability of these energy sources depends on the weather.

It is precisely these fluctuations that make flexible solutions necessary.

We are all the more pleased to be able to announce this today:

❗We have received the grant notification from the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK) for our ElecT-Flex project❗

Our first German-British cooperation project, ElecT-Flex, was launched in June 2024. This week, the first project meeting took place in the presence of all partners at the WTZ in Dessau-Roßlau.

🎯 Aim of the project: Development of an electric turbocharger for large engines

➡️ At the WTZ Roßlau, we are developing an innovative solution to gain new insights and perspectives to compensate for fluctuations in the grid using renewable energies.

But more on that later…
