The Professorship of Renewable Energy Carriers's research program was aimed at the advancement of the thermal and chemical engineering sciences applied to solar energy technologies. The research focused on the fundamentals of high-temperature heat/mass transfer phenomena, multi-phase reacting flows, thermochemistry and functional redox materials. These were 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 pioneered the development of solar concentrating technologies for efficiently producing clean power, fuels, and materials.
