From May 27 to 28, 2024, 24 participants met in Bad Herrenalb for the first Helmholtz Energy Women Career Workshop on Communicating and Negotiating successfully in academia.
More than 30 political decision-makers came to the Jakob-Kaiser-Haus in the German Bundestag on May 17, 2024 to learn more from scientists about the topics of CO₂ capture and storage.
On June 12 and 13, 2023, the Helmholtz Research Field Energy met at the first Helmholtz Energy Conference "Tackling the Challenges of the Energy Transition" in Koblenz.
Funding is being provided for the "LAMI-PERO" project, which aims to establish a fundamental understanding of how perovskite thin films are formed under high pressure, and also to discover more stable and novel compositions of perovskite semiconductors to produce highly efficient perovskite solar cells and tandem solar cells.
In the laboratory, tandem solar cells achieve efficiencies that far exceed those of conventional silicon cells. Helmholtz researchers now want to bring the technology into application quickly.
Heat from underground could cover up to 25 percent of our heating energy requirements. A new Helmholtz project aims to accelerate the large-scale use of geothermal energy.
The energy crisis in the wake of the war in Ukraine shows how dependent we still are on fossil fuels. Our energy system must change fundamentally. And as quickly as possible.
