100% renewable energy systems - interconnected and adapted to regional characteristics - are the key to a comprehensive energy transition.

We are researching cross-sector concepts, systems and components in order to realise the energy transition in the electricity, heating, industrial and mobility sectors. Energy efficiency, sector coupling and storage and load management are the means for us to integrate renewable energies into all sectors across the board. Our solutions are orientated towards local conditions in the context of supra-regional and global energy systems.

As the central scientific institution of Paderborn University, we bundle interdisciplinary energy technology expertise for sophisticated interdisciplinary research. We impart comprehensive skills for the holistic design of the energy transition through educational programmes tailored to specific target groups.

We are a strong local partner for the energy transition and help to ensure that our region serves as a national and international role model for a successful energy transition.
