Renewable Energy – Technological Foundations and Importance for Sustainable Living on Our Planet

Online lecture by Stefan Gürtzgen on 14 January 2025, 3 pm

Moderator: Gerhard Kreysa

The use of fossil fuels and the resulting increasing emission of greenhouse gases is having an ever greater impact on our climate and threatening life on our planet. The move away from fossil fuels towards renewable energies is therefore an essential prerequisite for safeguarding our ecological and economic future. The lecture will briefly introduce the most important renewable energy sources, the technical principles and the possibilities for energy storage.
