PDP trips: making self-sufficient solar power a reality |
The promise of solar is great for small and medium-sized businesses in developing countries and hotter regions that are looking to become more energy independent. The Project Development Programme (PDP) reference trips offered by the German Energy Solutions Initiative provide many of the answers to the practical questions business owners have about installing photovoltaics. During the three-day events, German companies from the PV sector present relevant projects to prospective customers from the region with concrete examples on site. As well as providing a deep dive into the technology, workshops are offered for discussing framework, market conditions, and financing options. In the second half of 2022, these knowledge-sharing trips will take place in Botswana and Zambia, Bangladesh, as well as Jordan and Lebanon, with a particular focus on self-sufficient systems. Each will involve a visit to a working project realised by German companies with local partners. Find out more and how to register.

| A German Training Week (GTW) on energy efficiency will be offered to companies from our partner countries within the Project Development Programme (PDP). The energy consumption of industrial consumers in developing and emerging countries is often unnecessarily high, while the potential for savings by switching to renewables remains largely untapped. During the GTW programme, the participants – be they factory managers, local energy auditors or business owners – will receive training from German companies offering efficient cleantech solutions. The course covers all the technical, commercial and legal aspects of making the energy transition. Find out more and register today. |

| One year on, the North German Real Laboratory has successfully demonstrated how joined-up green energy solutions can decarbonise industry at the same time as progressing the regional heat and mobility transition. The ambitious umbrella initiative, which involves 25 sub-projects, 22 demonstration plants and no less than 17 partners from business, science and politics, provides a concrete model for how other regions could switch to green electricity. Eight new electrolysers will begin generating green hydrogen from renewable energy over the next two years, with the largest – a 25 MW system – in the port of Hamburg. Notably, the utilities company Hamburger Energiewerke is working with the copper goods manufacturer Aurubis to capture production waste heat for storing in an underground reservoir to supply the region with hot water during the winter months. |

| Scientists from Fraunhofer IPA propose that we start looking at compost, wood fibre-based rubbish and even sewage in a new light – as a valuable raw material for producing green hydrogen (H2). A team from the Biointelligent Technologies group there are working on a number of projects to demonstrate how the gas – which is a powerful energy carrier – can be extracted from waste provided by regional producers including fruit farmers and vintners. The H2 can then be locally applied as fuel for mobility. |

| The potential of geothermal for advancing Germany’s energy transition remains largely untapped. A large subterranean “GeoLAB” that is under construction in the Black Forest area could change all this. The joint project partners, the German Research Centre for Geosciences and the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, aim to investigate deep reservoir technology, borehole safety and other questions. |
