Energy research at TU Darmstadt

The TU Darmstadt has proven to be an excellent address for energy topics within the various departments, from basic research to application-oriented research and development. This is reflected in the topics of the Research Field Energy and Environment (E+E) and the curricula of the departments that participate in the graduate school.

Research Field Energy and Environment (E+E)

E+E is one of three major interdisciplinary Research Fields at TU Darmstadt. Researchers focus on solutions for a responsible transformation of technology for the society of tomorrow: Topics include the physical-chemical fundamentals of energy and environmental technology processes, storage materials and their use, integrated energy systems and political-economic strategies for sector coupling or a sustainable water supply.
