Professor for Energy and Environmental Technology
Sustainable Energy and Environmental Technology
The research group "Sustainable Energy and Environmental Technology NEUTec" focuses among other topics on applied research and development in the field of energy technology and process engineering, waste management as well as environmental technology with a focus on:
- efficiency increase of energy supply systems,
- decarbonisation of district heating systems and integration of RES,
- optimisation and integration of thermal storages,
- modelling and simulation of district heating systems,
- optimisation of biogas technology,
- solid biofuels and thermal processes such as pyrolysis and hydro-thermal carbonisation as well as
- life cycle analysis,
- sustainability and energy and climate protection management.
Research
At NEUTec we model and simulate energy systems in order to achieve a greenhouse gas neutral heat supply. Examples of current and previous research projects are
- the nationwide district heating system analysis in the funded project "DEKADE-F-WAERME",
- the system optimization for the Hümmling energy region,
- the development of methods for assessing waste heat potentials and the mapping of waste water heat networks (MEMPHIS 2.0).
NEUTec has put a special focus on municipal heat planning in the last years and has been working nationally with research and practice partners like the "3N Competence Centre" and the Stadtwerke Göttingen.
More research projects are listed on the German website.
