"Energy transition & climate neutrality: technologies and paths through the bridging decade". That was the motto of this years Kopernikus Symposium, which took place in Berlin at the beginning of July. With panel discussions and dialog formats, the Kopernikus Symposium 2024 brought together key players in the energy transition for the third time. The Kopernikus projects Ariadne, Ensure, P2X and SynErgie discussed and networked with numerous guests from business, politics, industry and science. What's next for the energy transition? They also agreed on this and mapped out a path. Find out more about the symposium here.

Build it, try it out, discuss it: Anyone interested can do this and more when they take a playful approach to the energy network of the future. The ENSURE showroom provides this opportunity. A central game is called Energy Flow and enables visitors to experience the defossilisation of the energy supply with the help of various technologies. Curious? Find out more here and here (in German).

Capacity building and therefore also education is one of the tasks that P2X has put on its list for the final project phase. Some steps have already been taken, now the next one follows. And this addresses the entire public: Anyone interested can attend the digital lecture series on Power-to-X topics - worldwide. Everything you need to know can be found here (in German, but the lectures will be held in English).

57 partners from science and industry are collaborating in the Kopernikus project SynErgie. One of them explains why this is so important for his own company and the energy transition in an interview from the partner's own individual perspective: Dennis Bauer speaks for e-con in the Alois Müller Group. You can read the interview here (in German).

The Kopernikus projects are shaping the future of energy supply. They have also contributed to the content of the show "Power2Change". This travelling exhibition invites visitors to discover the coming energy system interactively. Until 1 September, "experimenta" in Heilbronn is hosting the exhibition which is accompanied by a versatile programme of events. All information is available here.

The start-up Power2Polymers has been honoured in a prestigious international competition as third place. The future spin-off from the project of the same name delivered a convincing pitch for sustainably produced lubricants. These are based on the idea of polyol compounds from the Kopernikus project P2X. More on the start-up here.

Each of the four Kopernikus projects has its own scenarios for the respective component of the energy transition. The approaches and assumptions in the models focus on different sectors and vary accordingly. Nevertheless, common directional points are emerging for Germany if it wants to achieve its climate targets for 2045. The new scenario comparison (in German) reveals what these are.

Seek and you shall find: The biblical saying now also applies to the publications of the Kopernikus projects. They are gathered in a searchable overview table - even with keyword search. The advantage is obvious: it is no longer necessary to search through the publications on the individual project pages. The publications are "business cards" for the progress and results of the Kopernikus projects. Those interested can find them here.
