Stady-tour in Munich is officially over!
From June 14 to 18, an expert information meeting “Education in the energy efficiency sector — the latest approaches to the organization of the educational and research process” was held in Munich.
Pro-rector Andriy Ivanchenko represented Zaporizhia Polytechnic University. Ukrainian and German colleagues and heads of the GIZ-Ukraine office, as well as representatives of the Ministry of Education and Culture of Ukraine, highly appreciated the university projects presented by him. Representatives of the Energy Innovation Hubs and the Ministry of Education and Culture of Ukraine highlighted practical ideas for themselves. We already have topics for future joint developments with new scientist friends.
As part of the tour, the participants visited the Wildpoldsried energy village. There they got acquainted with the introduced modern energy-efficient approaches, discussed the available solutions:
— private and municipal photovoltaic systems — with battery energy storage and self-consumption of electricity
— public wind turbines
— energy saving projects
Thomas Pflüger’s presentation “Local heating networks – using the waste heat of biogas plants” was an inspiration. During the tour of the inner part of the village, the participants had the opportunity to see for themselves how the solutions described by Mr. Pflüger in the presentation are implemented.
While visiting the outer part of the village, the guests explored how wind turbines, a biogas farm, an energy campus, and cogeneration plants work.
The tour ended at the University of Munich. REDEFINE H2E Lab (TUM) and its equipment for energy-efficient biomass processing were presented. Its main direction is the production of climate-neutral fuel and synthetic gases with the aim of reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
The educational tour took place within the framework of the project “Promotion of energy efficiency and implementation of the EU Directive on energy efficiency in Ukraine”, which is carried out by GIZ on behalf of the governments of Germany and Switzerland.
Building the future of energy-efficient education together!
