At this year's KIT Championship on July 13, 2024, the "Power2Run" team, led by Prof. Dr. Roland Dittmeyer, achieved an impressive 15th place in the team ranking.
In pleasant weather and with the applause of many spectators, the motivated participants ran the 10 km course around the South Campus, through the Hardtwald, and back to the KIT Stadium.
The Vice President of KIT, Professor Dr. Alexander Wanner, warmly congratulated all participants on their impressive performances. Congratulations to all participants and the individual winners!
A big thank you to the organizers of the run

Two ideas from researchers at the Institute of Micro Process Engineering made it into the top 10 in this year's NEULAND innovation competition: A joint fifth place was secured by the ideas for "Efficient electrical reduction of CO2 - Directly convert CO2 into valuable C3+ products via electricity"(S. Zhong, P. Holtappels, R. Dittmeyer) and the "Development of highly efficient and cost-effective photoreactors for the production of solar hydrogen"(A. Dreher, P. Kant, M. Rubin, R. Dittmeyer). A great motivation and confirmation of our research and development work on the way to a green and CO2-neutral future.
Congratulations also to the three winners on the podium: "VisioPrinTech", "RareCycle" and "HoStaBau".
![Prof. Dittmeyer im Interview zum Thema "welches Potenzial steckt in Carbon Capture and Storage für die CO2-Neutralität?"](/img/prozesstechnik%20tv_rdax_98.png)
Carbon capture technologies are of great importance to the chemical-pharmaceutical industry. This means that carbon dioxide is to be removed from the atmosphere on a large scale in the future. With Prof. Dr. Roland Dittmeyer from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT-IMVT) and Matthias Brey, Sustainability Leader at EY Consulting, we shed light on the current political and technological status of carbon capture in Germany - where CO2 could be stored, how far the chemical industry has already come and which technologies are currently being developed.
The interview took place on 10.06.2024 at ACHEMA.

From May 13th to 15th up to 46 researchers from two Finish institutions, VTT and Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT), as well as participants from CIEMAT (Spain), Differ (Netherlands), DLR Stuttgart (Germany), and from different KIT Institutes met and discussed ongoing research activities in the areas of electrolyser and “Power2X” technologies. At this 4th workshop in series the focus was on the broader grid context of and the energy system perspective. The event was supported by the EERA Joint Program for Energy Storage and brought together experts and young researchers from electrical-, chemical engineering and natural sciences, legal advisors, and entrepreneurs.
Input Workshop![Logo science media center](/img/SMC_rdax_98s.jpg)
The science media center SMC asked experts for their opinion on this topic.
Prof. Roland Dittmeyer from the IMVT also had his say and shared his opinion:
- on the necessary scale of emissions stored or used
-on the financing of CCS and CCU
-on the storage potentials
-on the shares of CCS in power plants and industry, BECCS and DACCS

In the BR2 podcast IQ Science and Research, Prof. Roland Dittmeyer talks to journalist Jenny von Sperber about technical processes for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
The aim is either to store the carbon dioxide underground in order to achieve so-called "net negative" greenhouse gas emissions or to use the carbon dioxide as a carbon source for chemical base materials and fuels for applications that are difficult to electrify, which then at least does not add any "new" fossil carbon dioxide to the atmosphere ("net zero" greenhouse gas emissions).
![Timo Engl fünfte Person von links](/img/SSP-Meeting_rdax_98s.jpg)
The third status colloquium of the DFG Priority Program 2080 "Catalysts and reactors under dynamic conditions for energy storage and conversion" took place in Berlin on 29 and 30 January 2024. The scientists from the 12 project consortia discussed their results in presentations and posters from the individual projects. The best posters were awarded - Timo Engl from our CAT group won the second prize, tied with our project partners from FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg, for his poster on spatially and temporally resolved operando investigations of methanation catalysts under transient conditions - congratulations!
More Information![Prof. Dittmeyer steht vor dem Präsentationshintergrund](/img/Expertenvortrag%20ll_rdax_1024x576_98.png)
In a dialog with Jörg Moll from energiewende tv, Prof. Dittmeyer explains the greenhouse gas effect of aviation and discusses which options exist to reduce the associated greenhouse gas emissions. Avoiding flying, electric flying, flying with hydrogen and flying with the sustainable aviation fuel SAF are discussed and the research and development for the production of SAF from carbon dioxide and hydrogen is summarized. Everything is illustrated with appealing tables and graphics. Don't miss this interesting article!

In the background report on climate-neutral flying by energiewende tv, our doctoral students Philipp Rentschler and Dorela Dhamo go into more detail on their respective research topics in the field of sustainable aviation fuels, including the BMBF project H2Mare / PtX-Wind, and show the experimental possibilities available at the Institute and in the Energy Lab at KIT.
