Information distributed in advance of the course

In advance of the course, the following material was provided to the participants:

1) Article “The Revolution Continues: Energiewende 2.0” (R. Schlögl, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2015, 54, 4436-4439.)

2) Brochure “Making a success of the energy transition” (German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs; September 2015)

3) Interview “Chemistry Paves the Road to Novel Energy Systems” (F. Schüth, ChemSusChem 2008, 1, 155-156.)

4) Book chapters on “The solar refinery” (Chapter 1.1, pp. 1-34, R. Schlögl) and “Energy Storage Strategies” (Chapter 1.2, pp. 37-48, F. Schüth) taken from the following book: R. Schlögl (Ed.), Chemical Energy Storage, Vol. 1., Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston, 2013.

The material was supposed to provide first information on the energy transition and chemical energy storage in order to prepare the participants for the main topic of the course.

Course Task and Discussion: The Energy System of the Future

In addition to the material, the following task was given to the participants:

One of the reasons for the course is that currently the energy sectors of Germany and some other countries like Denmark are subject to massive changes involving not only the elimination of nuclear power plants and fossil fuels but also the shift of our entire raw materials base.

Imagine, in preparation for the course and also with the articles provided, which measures have to be taken in order to make the energy revolution a success.

How could a research and development program aiming at the integration of renewable energies and addressing basic research, studies and practical application / demonstration (e.g. pilot plants, mobility projects etc.) look like?

Which (scientific) disciplines might be involved?

The preparatory material gives information on Germany – what do you know about other countries, e. g. those that you come or stem from?

The results of your considerations will be discussed and revaluated during the course. The discussion will be initiated on Monday, February 29, 2016

A summary of the discussion and the group work is provided at the end of this document and the slides are downloadable on the homepage.
