Fact-finding missions to Germany online now |
Our fact-finding missions are designed to give overseas organisations and companies valuable first-hand knowledge of the innovative energy solutions sector in Germany. Each mission to Germany is country/region specific and focuses on a field of technology which is already being implemented. Due to COVID-19, the missions will be taking place online this year and will consist of virtual on-site visits and networking events, where company representatives can grow their business contacts.

| The Wuppertal-based company ENTERIA Energietechnik is bringing affordable water to a drought-stricken region of Mozambique. Construction began on a pilot solar-powered well in Pembane in July, and it has been pumping out clean water ever since and distributing it to eight fountains within a 1.5 kilometre radius. The “Mati Mati” (Water, Water) project is implemented through the Renewable Energy Solutions (RES) programme in collaboration with the Inhambane provincial government and the German pump manufacturer WILO, Aktion Afrika e.V., iSAtech water GmbH and the German Energy Agency, and is financed by the BMWi. |

| Companies and industrial enterprises in developing and emerging countries often consume an unnecessary large amount of energy. The PDP will therefore strengthen its support for achieving energy savings. Similar to the already successfully-tested concept in the field of renewable energies, PDP is also focusing on the development of concrete project opportunities when it comes to energy efficiency projects. |

| A ground-breaking new energy storage technology can achieve higher efficiencies with fewer energy losses, and it does so by storing electricity in heat (which is stored in water or liquid salt tanks). The first ever Carnot battery is being built in Stuttgart at the Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics within the German Aerospace Centre. With a storage capacity of 1,000 MW hours, it could provide a city the size of Stuttgart with a stable energy supply. Find out more about how the Carnot battery could help to power the energy turnaround. |

| A student researcher at the Fraunhofer ISE has achieved a record solar efficiency of 25.9 percent for a III-V/Si tandem solar cell grown directly onto silicon. Fraunhofer researchers have been developing tandem photovoltaics technologies since 2007, but previous techniques had proved too expensive for industrial application. The new technique involves growing layers directly onto a special silicon wafer which is treated inexpensively using mechanical grinding and etching. |
