ReduCO₂ Research Project
Targeted, efficient, sustainable: reducing CO₂ through smart technologies and strategic energy planning
Using intelligent simulations for greater efficiency and climate protection
Simulations and innovative technologies - from hydrogen solutions and modern Energy Storage systems to digital twins - make potential savings visible, lower costs and increase energy efficiency. This is precisely why we are involved in the EU-funded ReduCO₂ lighthouse project to develop practical solutions that help companies to make their energy supply climate-friendly and future-proof.
Practical answers to your energy questions
Companies are faced with rising energy costs, legal requirements and ambitious climate targets.
The ReduCO₂ research project provides answers to key questions:
- How can CO₂ emissions be lowered without compromising production?
- Which technologies are economically viable?
- How can energy flows be analyzed transparently and controlled intelligently?
Real-life operations in Glatten are already demonstrating how intelligent energy systems can provide valuable data and facilitate decision-making. This results in practical solutions on a scientific basis that companies can use directly for themselves.
Using energy intelligently - how customers benefit from our commitment
Safe energy decisions
Concrete evaluation of technologies such as hydrogen and reservoirs - ecologically and economically. Your benefit: Less risk, targeted investments.
Tried and tested solutions
Energy technologies are tested under real conditions. Your benefit: Mature, directly applicable concepts.
Transparent energy control
The digital twin makes energy flows visible and controllable. Your benefit: Better control and greater efficiency.
Optimal system planning
Simulation enables cost- and energy-optimized planning. Your benefit: Reduced costs, maximum efficiency.
Digital simulations are the standard of tomorrow. With ReduCO2, we are creating the basis for precise digital planning and optimization of energy flows in companies today.∼ Manja Hies, Head of Sustainability
ReduCO₂ - Intelligent, climate-friendly energy systems
ReduCO₂ is an EU-funded research project that investigates technologies and concepts to make municipal and industrial energy systems more climate-friendly and reduce CO₂ emissions - with a particular focus on the heating sector. The aim is to implement the right solutions exactly where they will bring the greatest benefit.
The result is user-friendly software that serves as a decision-making aid for municipalities, companies and public institutions. It makes complex scenarios understandable and supports sustainable energy planning on site.
In the long term, the project aims to make the northern Black Forest a model region for intelligent, climate-friendly energy supply.
Why we are committed
We do not act out of duty, but out of conviction: Responsibility for the environment and the future is part of our self-image.
We have always been driven by an inventive spirit. That's why we contribute our ideas to further develop technologies and actively help shape the future.
We have already gained a lot of experience in dealing with energy - but the transformation can only succeed together. With our knowledge and our solutions, we want to help others to do the same.
We continuously optimize our own energy flows in order to produce as efficiently as possible - for first-class products at attractive prices, today and tomorrow.
Energy Storage from Schmalz
The missing piece of the energy transition puzzle
As part of the project, we are relying on modern Energy Storage systems - in particular our powerful redox flow stacks. These electrochemical converter units form the heart of the stationary Energy Storage systems used in the research project. Thanks to their scalable design, power and capacity can be adapted independently of each other so that the Energy Storage units optimally support the efficient, long-lasting and flexible use of renewable energy within ReduCO2. Schmalz is thus providing the answer to the previously unsolved problem of the energy transition: efficient and cost-effective reservoirs for energy generated from renewable sources.
