Summary

Green-QUEST

The  Green-QUEST  project  aims  to  develop  a  viable,  sustainable  green  fuel  product  (green-LFG)  in  Southern Africa by combining technological process development with a holistic assessment of the technical, economic, environmental, and social dimensions along the entire green-LFG value chain. The  Green-QUEST  project  will  enable  the  establishment  of  new  and  the  strengthening  of  existing  working relationships  between  South  African  and  German  academic  partners  and  could  lead  to  lasting  strategic alliances  in  a  crucial  research  area  within  the  framework  of  the  German  government's  "National  Hydrogen Strategy".

LOCALISED

The objective of LOCALISED is to downscale national decarbonization trajectories consistent with Europe’s net-zero target to the local levels and provide the results to local authorities, citizens and businesses, in a way that would speed up the uptake of mitigation and adaptation actions. To this end, the project will create effective and clearly understandable tools that transform localised data on possible decarbonisation pathways by 2030 and 2050 into knowledge for action.

ETSAP

The objective of the IEA technology initiative ETSAP is to apply model generators to further develop energy system models. Model generators can be used to design energy technology scenarios and thus derive recommendations for action to save energy and reduce emissions.

NFDI4ING

The objective of the NFDI4ING consortium is to develop, disseminate, standardise and provide methods and services to make engineering research data FAIR. The associated research processes as well as the solutions themselves will only be sustainable if being accompanied by a proper research data management (RDM) that implements the FAIR data principles: data has to be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable.

MINFRA

The objective of the MINFRA research project is to analyze the effects of climate targets on the energy system itself and the underlying infrastructures that change as a result of external conditions. To this end, quantitative analyses using the TIMES and NESTOR energy system models will be carried out to investigate the necessary system transformations.

SEDOS

The objective of the SEDOS research project is to map sector integration in energy system models in detail and to establish greater comparability of the models by means of open data. In addition to the orientation towards Open Science, the project thus has the goals of a joint development of a reference data set for the consideration of sector integration in energy system models for Germany as well as a coordinated model and system structure for three OS models (oemof, TIMES, FINE).

HyUSPRe

The objective of HyUSPRe is to assess the technical feasibility, potential and risks of large-scale underground hydrogen storage in porous reservoirs in Europe. The techno-economic assessment, accompanied by environmental, social and regulatory perspectives for implementation, will allow for the development of a roadmap for hydrogen storage and indicate the role of large-scale hydrogen storage in achieving a greenhouse gas neutral energy system in EU by 2050.
