CO2Inno

Development of energy and mobility solutions.

As part of the cross-border CO2Inno project, the GenLab research team at Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences collaborates with French and German universities and public institutions to develop a hydrogen-based energy system. The project is investigating how a successful energy transition based on new technological approaches can be designed in a socially acceptable way in Europe.
A real laboratory is being developed to demonstrate the transformation by demonstrating concrete energy solutions. 
The focus lies on decentralised hydrogen cogeneration power plants (CHP) for electricity and heat generation at the place of use.
The aim is to integrate the energy system with other subsystems such as a heat pump, a fuel cell or a charging station for electric cars.
The resulting recommendations for action and the open-source simulation tool will be published so that users (municipalities, public institutions, industrial sites) have the opportunity to assess the advantages of the system for their individidual situation.
