Prof. Dr. Christoph Klahn

KIT IMVT-ADD co-hosts the third international conference on Additive Manufacturing in Products and Applications AMPA2023 in Lucerne, September 12-14 2023 (https://ampa.ethz.ch/). The aim of Additive Manufacturing in Products and Applications is to exchange ideas and knowledge among engineers, designers and managers on how to support real-world value chains by developing additive manufactured serial products.
The conference was opened by the organizers Prof. Christoph Klahn (KIT, IMVT-ADD), Prof. Mirko Meboldt (ETH Zurich, pd|z) and Dr. Julian Ferchow (inspire AG). The keynotes by Ian Gibson (University of Twente) and Christoph Kiener (Siemens AG) highlighted the challenges and opportunities of industrializing additive manufacturing.
The conference proceedings Industrializing Additive Manufacturing are published by Springer.

During the first StoRIES Summer School on "RePowerEU and the need for energy storage in Europe", which took place from May 29 to June 1, 2023 in Nicosia (Athalassa Campus) and at the Energy Institute of the Cyprus Institute PROTEAS, Philipp Rentschler, doctoral researcher at IMVT in the ADD group, received “The Young Scientist Best Oral Presentation Award”. The jury, consisting of members of the Joint Program "Energy Storage" of the European Energy Research Alliance EERA, thus recognized his outstanding work. The IMVT congratulates Philipp on this well-deserved recognition of his research achievements.

Climate-neutral hydrogen, or, even liquid fuels could in future be produced at low-cost on rooftops or in big solar farms. A photoreactor concept, which would be a core component of such a technology is now proposed by IMVT researchers in their recently published manuscript in Joule. The photoreactor concept is especially low-cost in its manufacturing, ensures an efficient production and is easily adoptable to many different photoreactions. Thereby, such photoreactors could represent an important building block in a successful energy transition pathway. A link to the publication in Joule and the corresponding KIT press release can be found below.

On 27.06.2023 the event "Energy supply of the future - a visit to the Energy Lab 2.0 at KIT" took place, which provided inspiration for the energy transition with IMVT expert knowledge. This event in the TrendForum event series was organized together with the VDI Landesverband Baden-Württemberg and the VDI Karlsruher Bezirksverein.

Innovative solutions and technologies from our Energy Lab 2.0 were presented and the challenges of the energy transition were highlighted. We started with a visit to the Energy Lab, where everything about the energy supply of the future was shown. After the tour, exciting technical presentations were held. The link to the interview with Prof. Dittmeyer (before the event) can be found further on.

On Monday, April 3, 2023, the Federal Chairman of the CDU, Friedrich Merz, visited the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Dr. Katja Haas-Santo gave Friedrich Merz insights into research on climate-neutral fuels. In the link below you will find the entire article.

Heraeus Stiftung

Our EEX Group recently presented our latest developments in plasma reactor concepts at the WE-Heraeus-Seminar on Non-Thermal Plasmas for Sustainable Chemistry. The poster, titled "Plasma-Catalysis Reactor Concepts using Microwave Plasmas under Nanosecond Pulsation," showcased our innovative concept for using plasma technology in CO2 conversion and won a poster prize.

In the dispute over the future of the internal combustion engine, e-fuels have come into focus. They are made from water and carbon dioxide. Can synthetic fuels help pave the way to climate neutrality? The newspaper "Frankfurter Allgemeine" has written an interesting article on this subject. You will find the link in the further course.

The debate about phasing out the internal combustion engine shows how important research in different directions is. Only when all options have been adequately tested and evaluated, and solutions optimized, will it be possible to find a viable solution for the transportation transition. However, one thing is clear to the researchers: it won't work entirely without e-fuels. You will find the link to the ARD report in the further course.

Producing green hydrogen and other PtX products with offshore wind turbines without grid connection can significantly reduce costs compared to onshore production. This potential is being exploited and researched by the H₂Mare hydrogen lead project. Further information can also be found at https://www.wasserstoff-leitprojekte.de/projects/h2mare

Motor Presse Stuttgart

The IMVT has received the International Paul Pietsch Award for research on Power2X and synthetic fuels. You will find the link to the Motor-Presse-Stuttgart in the further course.

In the fourth contribution, everything revolves around the topic "Wrestling with combustion engines - What future for e-fuels?" Prof. Dittmeyer starts speaking at minute 15:20. You will find the link to the video in the further course.
