German Energy Solutions Initiative: Upcoming events |
With most scheduled events taking place online due to health restrictions, it’s business as usual as far as possible in the first half of 2021. Over the next few months there will be a packed programme for energy trade missions to connect German SMEs to local projects on the ground. Through our fact-finding missions, foreign business, research and policy representatives can gain an insight into climate-friendly energy solutions implemented in Germany. Delegates from Ecuador, Pakistan and Nigeria and a number of other countries are invited to join these missions. Each will have a technology focus such as waste-to-energy, decentralised energy generation or energy efficiency in industry and commerce. Find all our events online.

| Within the Berlin Energy Week form 15th - 18th March, we host two official side events. You will learn about flagship projects in Africa, Asia and Europe implemented with energy solutions made in Germany. International business partners share their experience in working together and the impact of these projects in the countries of implementation. We're looking forward to meet you online and to answer your questions. |

| Three projects around the world show the versatility of energy solutions made in Germany installed in remote and rural areas. In Togo, an off-grid, solar plant delivered by maxx-solar GmbH is promoting the use of mini-grids to help the West African country meet the enormous challenge of electrification including training for local engineers. Meanwhile, in Honduras, five scalable photovoltaic and storage systems have been installed by BOS AG in a range of hotels and offices along the coast and on two remote islands. Back in Europe, an organic farm in Alsace, France, has been equipped with an energy container-cum-glass house integrating PV modules and battery for irrigation, heating and cooling of the greenhouse. |

| An exciting new development at the Fraunhofer IWU in Chemnitz could boost the production of fuel cell stacks in Germany. The novel “Chemnitz Fuel Cells” are made using a technique called hydroforming where the bi-polar plates are formed using water pressure. The result is a higher quality plate than those used in conventional fuel cell stacks and one that is significantly cheaper as it can be made in large series. |

| An international team of scientists from Germany, China and the USA have developed a new zinc-based battery which overcomes previous drawbacks of the technology by using a non-alkaline electrolyte. Results so far are promising: the zinc battery is not only more cost-effective and environmentally-friendly than lithium, but also has higher energy density with good chemical stability. |
