Project insights: Research for the energy transition

Bioenergy

Biogas plant uses straw and chicken manure

Straw and chicken manure accumulate in large quantities and are suitable for material and energy recovery in biogas plants.

Thermal power plants

Storing electricity with liquid air

Compared to pumped storage tanks, liquid air energy storage tanks can be installed wherever they are needed, regardless of the local conditions.

Thermal power plants

Gas turbines – a building block of the energy transition

New industrial gas turbine with an output of less than 25 megawatts is suitable for use in combined gas and steam turbine plants.

Wind energy

Test rigs improve the performance of wind turbines

Test rigs ensure reproducible conditions for certification tests. The manufacturers save time and money.

Thermal power plants

Burning waste and storing electricity

Using electricity from waste incineration plants to produce hydrogen, which in a further step reacts with Carbon dioxide to form methanol.

Geothermal energy

Mobile rig installs and removes pumps

If a production pump of a geothermal power plant fails, it's removed from the borehole together with the production pipes and transported to the surf.
