Joint research for a sustainable future: Transforming our energy system is a communal task that depends on scientific ideas and innovations. Innovation is created primarily through close cooperation and extensive collaboration between different research areas. This is why TEN.efzn is massively expanding the interdisciplinary, collaborative energy research in Lower Saxony.
Divided into six closely interlinked research platforms, the program combines the key strengths of Lower Saxony's energy research and also opens up new innovative fields of inquiry. The program's distinguishing feature is the fact that it combines technological and scientific energy research with sociological transformation research, thus providing a comprehensive perspective for putting energy solutions into practice. Key research areas include offshore wind energy in a real-world laboratory, hydrogen and the hydrogen derivative ammonia, the trustworthy digitalization of safety-critical energy systems, heat, geoenergy systems, and the social dynamics of energy transformation.
The research platforms are linked via a new type of transfer system that promotes the exchange between science, business, politics and civic society and fosters the practical implementation of research findings, specialist training and the creation of both new innovations and start-ups. The overarching goal of TEN.efzn is to strategically develop and enhance Lower Saxony's energy research by 2030.
This joint program is funded by the state of Lower Saxony and the Volkswagen Foundation with a total of 58.2 million euros. This is the highest funding ever granted to a multi-site energy research program by the Lower Saxonian Ministry of Science and Culture.
