DBU-Graduate College 'Socio-Environmental- Questions of Energy Transitions'
As of November 2019, the German Federal Environmental Foundation (Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt - DBU) announced the creation of a new, interdisciplinary doctoral college [1] on challenging phenomena in the context of the energy transition. The idea builds on a previous DBU-funded horizon scan [2], which focused on identifying environmentally and socially sound approaches for wind energy development in Germany.
The creative, open space of a remote doctoral college is intended to facilitate discourse on the socio-environmental challenges of the energy transition. At the same time, the consciously moderated and organizationally supported college is consistently capable of vocalizing ideas, in a transdisciplinary and largely comprehensible manner, while being permanently receptive to new input.
Graduates
| Graduate | Topic |
|---|---|
| Sara Baumann | How can we
develop a loss-reduced and robust interconnection of perovskite
silicone tandem solar cells? |
| Julian Jüchter | How can we
derive information about inflowing wind fields from spatially averaged
wind energy turbine data? |
| Leonard Missbach | How would climate protection instruments in
countries of the global South affect the competitiveness of industrial
companies? |
| Christian Nauck | How can we
develop and apply machine learning with graph neural networks for
interactive analyses of power systems? |
| Adrian Odenweller | What is the role of sectoral coupling in achieving
the EU greenhouse gas reduction targets? How can sector coupling best
support a 100% renewable energy system? |
| Steffen Otterbach | How can
we develop new and recyclable organic semiconductor materials that
increase the efficiency of solar cells and improve the stability of
existing materials? |
| Franziska Riedel | What is the contribution of corporate climate
strategies to decarbonization of Germany by 2050? |
| Ruben Stemmle | What
energetic and ecological contribution can the supply of heat and cold
through underground storage make to the energy transition in
Germany? |
| Jessica Weber | How can an MCA model be developed to achieve
expansion of wind energy in the search for sites and take into account
the Sustainable Development Goals? |
| Mathias Zech | With which
methods can we support planning, evaluation and decision-making under
uncertainty in stochastic energy
systems? |
A first overview of disciplines, research subjects and questions, as well as methods and the emerging research network, are provided by the DBU Doctoral College-Maps [3].
Events
Kick-off event 'Bringing a breath of fresh air with creative minds'
"Not only input, but impact"
In the opening event of the DBU-Doctoral College "Socio-environmental Questions of Energy Transitions" on September 16, 2020, research fellows presented their research projects on the "wicked problems" of the energy transition.
