Research and Development

One of the key challenges of the future is that of ensuring that the energy supply remains reliable while making it more sustainable in both economic and ecological terms. In view of this, our growth-driven business strategy accords high priority to developing forward-looking products, applications and services relevant to the energy supply. In the foreground of our research and development activities are innovative solutions focusing in particular on the enhancement of decentralised and efficiency-enhancing technologies, as well as on implementing these in our business fields. We made further promising progress with decentralised cogeneration plants for private households in the year under report. The “Model City of Mannheim” showcase project promoted by the Federal Government is developing on schedule and has consistently delivered good results.
