The Efficient Energy Conversion and Use (REUN) Program covers the activities with respect to non-nuclear energy technology. In particular, it is focused
- on the use of superconductivity in energy technology,
- on the development of processes for energy-efficient conversion of fuel with subsequent gas cleaning,
- on the co-combustion of heterogeneous feedstocks (residue-derived fuels, biomass, etc.) in power plants,
- and on methods of process intensification by the development of innovative processes based on microwave, micro process, and catalytic technologies.
Major cooperation partners are industry and in particular the universities Stuttgart, and Heidelberg. Within the Helmholtz Association, it is cooperated with the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
