The new branch of the German Aerospace Center (DLR)) Institute for Maritime Energy Systems was inaugurated on the premises of the GERMAN NAVAL YARDS in Kiel.
The opening event was followed by presentations on cutting-edge maritime research and the future of shipping, lively panel discussions, and a DLR exhibition.
The DLR Institute of Maritime Energy Systems develops systems for emission-free ship operation and plans to set up large-scale test facilities for experimental research and testing of alternative ship propulsion systems, fuel cells, batteries, and alternative energy sources for maritime applications. The Institute will also research options for using and storing alternative fuels at sea and on land.
We are excited to explore new synergies in shipbuilding with DLR and wish the team success in their upcoming research projects at the new site in Kiel.
