Individual company presentation

What kind of future world do we want to live in? How can we get climate change under control?

At ZSW, scientists and engineers, visionaries and groundbreakers are working to shape a "next". They develop innovative solutions for private enterprises, policymakers and society. We want to make sure that the transformation to climate neutrality will be a success for everyone. For more than 30 years, we have been doing research and development for a sustainable energy system.

Discover our research topics, technologies and competencies at our booth.

The ZSW was established in 1988 by the German state of Baden-Württemberg, together with universities, research institutions, and commercial firms. It is a non-profit foundation under the civil code. Solar energy and hydrogen technologies are currently maturing on an industrial scale and will be major components in the sustainable energy supply of the 21st century. As a result, ZSW pursues the following goals and research topics.

The ZSW's research goals are:

  • Research and development of technologies for the sustainable and climate-friendly generation of electricity, heat, and fuel
  • Transfer of R&D results to market-relevant products (technology transfer)
  • Consulting political decision-makers and professional associations

Today the ZSW has approximately 350 employees and 100 student and scientific assistants and is one of the leading energy research institutes in Europe. Joint ventures and the growing proportion of industry commissions demonstrate the consistent applications relevance of our work.

Current topics are:

  • Photovoltaic materials research and development, especially for PV thin-film technologies
  • Systems development for PV applications
  • Hydrogen technology
  • Electrochemical energy conversion and storage
  • Fuel cell development and manufacturing
  • Renewable fuels and process engineering
  • Modelling and simulation
  • Grid integration of renewable energy sources and Smart Grid
  • Energy economy systems analysis
