Fraunhofer Research Institution for Energy Infrastructures and Geothermal Systems IEG

Welcome to the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Energy Infrastructures and Geothermal Energy IEG.

We act as a think-tank for the energy transition and develop our ideas from sketch to implementation along the entire value chain of energy system transformation. With our partners from industry and the public sector, we identify projects with great relevance for climate protection, make real applications possible and shape the energy transition. We are located in the structural transformation regions of Lusatia, the Rhineland, and the Ruhr Area, as well as in the industrial region of the Upper Rhine Valley. With the know-how of our team, we support sustainable transformation locally, nationally, and internationally. Our employees combine the necessary expertise in the fields of analysis, operation, and planning of sector-coupled electricity, gas and heating grids, drilling and geotechnologies, energy and process engineering, energy economics, georesources, and geosciences, storage systems, and hydrogen infrastructures.
