Energy Transition | Continuing Education

Qualification for Ecological Transformation

The energy transition is Germany's path to a sustainable and climate-friendly energy future. The goal is to reduce dependence on fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas and instead switch to renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, biomass and geothermal energy.

Decarbonizing the energy sector is a key challenge of the energy transition. It requires the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change. The transformation of the energy system is a complex process that requires profound changes in all areas of energy supply.

The future of electric mobility is closely linked to the further development of battery technologies. By researching and developing new battery concepts and materials, we can make electric vehicles even more powerful, efficient and sustainable.
