Sustainable energy engineering
Global energy consumption continues to increase as our need to reduce carbon intensifies. By developing and refining new methods of generating energy sustainably, engineers are now more important than ever. We’ve brought together the best engineering research in sustainable energy, covering topics including wind, solar and CO2 capture technology.
Sustainable energy is a truly interdisciplinary subject, reaching across engineering, materials science, chemistry and beyond. We talked to Benjamin Balke, head of division: functional materials at the Fraunhofer Research Institution IWKS about the work they are doing on sustainability and the importance of looking at sustainable energy from an interdisciplinary perspective.
