First of all thank you for reading this blog. If you like what you read feel free to share it with other people or start a conversation, because in my opinion this is a topic that mankind ignored for to long and something has to be done.

In this article I would like to give a small introduction of what I want to speak about more detailed in future posts.

I broke down the topic "The future of energy" into 3 major fields.

Part 1: Sustainable Energy Management

This Part consists of the following topics:

1. Environmental compatibility

  • Regenerative energy systems
  • Technologies: Wind, water, sun, geothermal energy, biomass
  • Areas of application: central/decentralized, industrial/home application, stationary/mobil
  • Energy transport/distribution: district heating, gas networks, mobil storage
  • Life cycle assessment: Building-/dismanteling costs
  • Security of supply

2. Security of supply

  • National/global
  • Storage techniques and potentials
  • Control power and capacity retention

3. Economic efficiency

  • Energy generating costs
  • Remuneration, subsidies, external costs

Part 2: Energy storage and efficiency considerations

1. Storage technologies:

  • Storage types:

    -- electrochemical
    -- thermic
    -- chemical
    -- mechanical

  • Storage duration

    -- buffer
    -- short term
    -- long term

2. Energy efficiency consideration & waste heat recovery:

  • Return into process
  • Power generation (for example low-temperature power conversion)
  • Upgrading the waste heat (heat pump, thermochemical system)

3. Sustainability and energy efficiency in production processes:

  • Energetic analysis of production processes

    -- Single processes
    -- Complete production (in-house production / suppliers / transport)

  • Energy saving potentials

  • Energy recovery

  • Waste heat usage

  • Human / social component

This was a long but I hope enough detailed overview over the topic of this blog.
