COMPETENCE CENTER: CCREHE | Competence Center for Renewable Energies, Hydrogen and Economy

The competence center sees itself as a link between the competencies from research and development and the stakeholders in industry and politics as well as the interested public.

The aim is to develop concepts for the integration of renewable energies and hydrogen technologies in existing structures as well as the conversion of structures to holistic renewable supply and the resulting innovative energy business models.

The network also and in particular questions focuses on issues relating to security of supply and the reliability of existing and new infrastructures, which have to be established.

The economic and at the same time social performance in Europe depends to a not inconsiderable extent on the security of supply and the reliability of its energy systems. In this area of tension, a triad of key challenges is increasingly emerging:

• Reliability and security of supply
• Environmental sustainability
• CAPEX and OPEX

With its network of research and industrial partners, the competence center can develop solutions that address these challenges. For this purpose, strategies and concepts can be developed that represent both an affordable and resilient solution for a wide variety of issues.

Our competence center has a network of experts for all important topics related to the topic portfolio: Renewable energies and hydrogen technologies.

The tasks of the competence center are:

• Positioning the competence center as a visible, accessible, reliable and credible source of information on the integration of renewable energies and hydrogen technologies in existing infrastructures
• Analysis and conception for the implementation of innovative applications and business models in the D-A-CH area
• Identifying and continuously evaluating (new) technologies for reliable and resilient supply
• Research and development in the subject area and knowledge transfer

Developing and disseminating best practices on a scientific basis through research, publishing and organizing / participating in congresses, symposiums and seminars
