The Professorship of Renewable Energy Carriers's research program is aimed at the advancement of the thermal and chemical engineering sciences applied to solar energy technologies. The research focusses on the fundamentals of high-temperature heat/mass transfer phenomena, multi-phase reacting flows, thermochemistry and functional redox materials. These are applied in the development of technologies for concentrated solar power and solar fuels production, solar-driven thermochemical processing of energy-intensive chemical commodities, direct air capture of CO2 and its utilization, energy storage and sustainable energy systems. PREC pioneers the development of solar concentrating technologies for efficiently producing clean power, fuels, and materials.
