Summary
The German "Energiewende" requires substantial technological and economic efforts. The objective of replacing nuclear energy by regenerative sources is not feasible without solving the challenge of energy storage in grid dimensions. We lack fundamental knowledge to design sustainable processes of the scale necessary. The contribution gives some conceptual insight and illustrates research at the department Inorganic Chemistry of the Fritz Haber Institute.
