Supercomputers for the energy transition

Science journalist Niklas Kolorz takes a deep dive into the “Clean Circles” project in his latest YouTube video, “Energy Storage of the Future: Is Iron the New Coal?”. The video, available on Kolorz’s popular science channel, explores groundbreaking research from TU Darmstadt, where Professor Christian Hasse from our SDL Energy Conversion and his team are investigating iron as a potential energy storage solution for the future.

Iron could play a crucial role in the global energy transition by enabling the chemical storage of electricity from renewable sources. But how exactly does this process work, and what role does a supercomputer play in advancing the research?

For insights into these questions and more, check out the full video Energy storage of the future: Is iron the new coal (available in German, with automatic English captions).
