The CAMPFIRE alliance was selected by a jury of experts as one of 20 innovative initiatives in eastern Germany that will implement strategic innovation concepts and develop new fields of technology over the next five years. As part of the pilot programme WIR! – Wandel durch Innovation in der Region, the German federal government is…
On Thursday, 7 March 2019, Patrick Dahlemann, Parliamentary State Secretary for Western Pomerania, visited the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Research and Technology (INP) in Greifswald. He was welcomed to the Institute by the INP directors, professors Klaus-Dieter Weltmann and Dirk Uhrlandt, and by the CAMPFIRE core team. The meeting focused on opening up new pathways…
Research consortium wants to lay the foundation for zero-emission mobility The CAMPFIRE consortium, which includes experts from research, industry and politics, aims to develop technical solutions for zero-emission marine mobility in the near future, which could become a core element of the economy in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. At a workshop held today, 31 January, at the…
On 31 October 2018, we submitted the concept for our project to the project management agency. This concludes the concept phase of the Wandel durch Innovation in der Region (WIR!) programme. For the past seven months, we have worked intensively to develop a strategy outlining the steps to achieve our vision: ‘Wind and water to…
On 11 September, roughly 70 representatives of science, industry and politics discussed the use of new technologies for the marine mobility transition in the Northeast region of Germany. The workshop was the highlight of the seven-month concept phase of the CAMPFIRE research project and confirmed that the project enjoys strong support in the region. Christian…
On 24 August, partners from the Campfire consortium, including representatives of industry and science, gathered for a second workshop at INP in Greifswald to develop strategies for implementing zero-emission fuels in a broad range of marine propulsion systems. Workshop participants discussed approaches that would utilise ammonia and hydrogen, as well as CO2-neutral fuels such as…
The CAMPFIRE research consortium created a roadmap for synthesising resources at the first partner workshop, held on 22 June 2018. The conclusion: the production of climate-friendly, synthetic fuels from surplus wind energy can be carried out particularly efficiently and with long-term stability if electroceramic thin-film membrane technology is utilised. The workshop brought together 25 representatives…
The intensive discussions paid off: the CAMPFIRE workshop in Schwerin, held in a ‘World Café’ format, brought together a great deal of know-how that will benefit the further direction of the project. The event was attended by representatives of politics, industry and science, who provided important input in evaluating individual applications of the new energy…
At Renewable Energy Day, held on 27 and 28 April, the CAMPFIRE consortium made its first public appearance. Stationed at booths on the market squares in Greifswald and Stralsund, experts from the Institute for Climate Protection, Energy and Mobility (IKEM), the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP) and Stralsund University of Applied Sciences…
