4ward Energy Research GmbH

Research facility for energy technologies and energy economics

Technology and business model development, the development of concepts and studies, the implementation of simulations as well as qualification activities and know-how transfer - 4ward Energy Research GmbH offers a wide range of services in the fields of energy technologies and energy management.

Comprehensive knowledge of research funding programs at federal and EU level, many years of experience in project management and project coordination as well as in dissemination and communication in projects are the basis for 4ward Energy Research GmbH to be the ideal partner for research projects.

Electricity and heat supply play the main roles in the projects. In many cases, a holistic view is also taken, including transport and industry in the sense of sector coupling, in which all areas can efficiently benefit from each other.

 

Research Areas

Rethinking energy systems: We develop innovative approaches for flexible and hybrid energy systems and carry out analyzes, modeling, simulations and the optimization of energy systems.

To EnergySystems4Future

For the shared use of energy as close as possible to the place of generation, innovative technologies and business models for electricity or heat are required. We deal with the relevant technical, economic and legal aspects.

To Energy4All

Technologies and energy systems are constantly evolving. The consequences of climate change also require adjustments. We support companies and municipalities in preparing for the challenges of the future.

To Adapt4Change

We are working on the (further) development of innovative technologies so that the generation, distribution and use of energy will continue to function smoothly in the future.

To Technologies4Tomorrow

Together with partners from business and science, we generate know-how in projects that we apply in the context of new projects and thus contribute to the creation of innovations.
