Energy Transition Dialogue at HIU

Energy transition topics are gaining more and more political significance. The discussion about sustainable energy production and reliable supply security often leads to the question: Where could future energy storage systems be deployed and how do they have to perform?

How such a future szenario might look like was debated on September 16th, 2019 by numerous industry representatives at the Helmholtz Institute Ulm (HIU). The energy experts met for the events series “Energy Transition Dialogue” to catch up on current research results of electrochemical energy storage.

Rudolf Scharping, once Prime Minister of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate and Federal Defense Minister of Germany, led the accompanying workshop “Key to Energy Transition – Storage Technologies in Comparison”.

Prof. Dr. med. Maximilian Fichtner, Deputy Director of the Helmholtz Institute Ulm accompanied the workshop scientifically and provided an overview of current research results on electrochemical energy storage.
