A transition to a fossil-free and energy-secure future requires research and innovation of the highest quality. In a series of articles, we present ongoing research from KTH that contributes to the energy solutions of tomorrow.
Energy technologie that cuts emissions
The principle and technology are similar to those found in refrigerators, tumble dryers and ice rinks. However, high temperature heat pumps (HTHP) are based on a more advanced and powerful technology that can save energy and radically reduce emissions from both buildings and industry.
Increased demand for electricity requires new solutions and innovations
The Swedish electricity system is changing. Electricity is now being produced in places where there have traditionally been no power lines, such as wind farms or offshore wind power. Consumption is also occurring in new locations, and new solutions and innovations are needed to avoid building an entirely new electricity grid.
KTH to fill knowledge gaps in large-scale battery production
It is difficult to manufacture batteries on a large scale. For European industry to meet this challenge, researchers, experts, engineers and innovative solutions are required. KTH has a collective competence in the field, a competence that is to be utilize in the KTH Battery 3PC initiative.
The challenge of replacing fossil fuels with hydrogen
Hydrogen can become an integral part of future energy supply. But first we need to make progress on efficiency and storage issues. That's according to Stefan Grönkvist, professor of energy processes.
Driving fossil-free industry with next-gen nuclear energy
KTH researchers are working to help heavy industry transition to fossil-free operations. A new initiative in nuclear technology focuses on next-generation reactors to provide efficient electricity and, more importantly, industrial heat.
