The FVV Transfer + Networking Event | Spring 2025

The FVV warmly invites you to our next Transfer + Networking Event in spring 2025. Taking into account the latest scientific findings and practical approaches, the focus will be on innovative solution strategies for decarbonisation and carbon management, in particular research on Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) and Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) technologies. Join this platform to exchange expertise, gain interdisciplinary inspiration and make valuable contacts.

Keynote: »Carbon Management – A New Political Perspective Resulting in New Fields of Technical Activity«

The keynote speech by Prof Dr Roland Span from the Institute of Thermo- and Fluid Dynamics at the University of Bochum will be the focus of the event. His presentation will highlight the challenges and opportunities of carbon management – far beyond the mere reduction of CO2 emissions. Key aspects will be addressed, such as:

  • Defossilisation rather than pure decarbonisation: While CO2 remains an essential element of industrial production, the focus is on sustainable change.
  • A holistic view: In addition to reducing atmospheric CO2 emissions, issues such as industrial processes, electricity supply, mobility and domestic heating will be addressed.
  • Technical solutions: The presentation will cover innovative methods of CO2 capture (pre- and post-combustion capture and oxyfuel processes) as well as the need for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU).
  • Infrastructural challenges: Approaches on the development of multimodal transport networks will be presented, considering both the use of pipelines and transport in other media.

Our keynotes address pivotal research questions in various areas of energy conversion and provide food for thought and discussion.

The FVV Transfer + Networking Events are designed to encourage the exchange of ideas and promote networking. In addition to interesting lectures, there is always time for personal dialogue.

Programme overview

The FVV Transfer + Networking Events are an important industry get-together for the exchange of the latest results of Industrial Collective Research on sustainable powertrain and energy conversion systems. Accordingly, a varied programme of meetings and presentations has been put together:

  • Keynote speech: Professor Roland Span presents comprehensive perspectives on carbon management.
  • Latest IGF interim and final project reports: 
    Session 1 - Systems, Components
    Session 2 - Turbomachinery
  • Meeting of the Expert Groups: Energy Infrastructure & Storage, Sustainable Powertrain Systems, Fuel Cells, Electric Motors, Engines, Turbomachines, Zero-Impact Emissions and Materials Science & Recycling.
  • Meeting of the Research Committee (AFo)
  • Networking sessions und evening event: Opportunities for in-depth professional exchange and targeted networking will round off the programme.

Everything about the programme is designed to promote interdisciplinary dialogue and to combine scientifically sound ideas with fact- / field-based application.

We look forward to your participation and to discussing the latest research ideas and results together!

The FVV organises facts- / field-based collective research on sustainable powertrain and energy systems of the future for an international network of science and automotive, mobility and energy industries. As a service provider for innovative businesses, especially SMEs, we organise solutions-oriented research projects and communicate their key results and innovation potential.

In the innovation + transfer network of the FVV, globally operating manufacturers of energy carriers, energy systems, sustainable powertrains and prime movers such as vehicle / aircraft / industrial engines, fuel cells and turbo machines, together with their suppliers and development service providers, conduct in close cooperation with universities and other research institutions pre-competitive, industrial collective research on future technologies. The aim is to operate energy converters – engines, hybrid powertrains, turbines, compressors, turbochargers and fuel cells – with renewable energy sources in new, (partly) electrified, integrated and digitalised conversion systems in a more efficient, cleaner and sustainable way – to the benefit of society, climate, environment and industry.

Sustainable energy conversion systems facilitate individual mobility, transportation, energy supply and industrial added value. The innovative power of the industry and its economic success make a significant contribution to social prosperity. As a non-profit organisation, the FVV supports the evolution of its members - small, medium and large companies – and the promotion of young scientists. The research association has implemented more than 2,000 research projects since it was founded in 1956.

Industrial Collective Research (IGF) is a successful Europe-wide, open-topic and pre-competitive funding programme of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) that provides small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with easy access to applied research and the latest research results. In the IGF, companies or associations, research institutions and RTD performers jointly determine the research needs and research topics of their industry. The support of the research projects by the companies guarantees the practical relevance of the research activities. The results of IGF projects are publicly available to all interested companies on equal terms. In this way, the IGF strengthens the competitiveness of SMEs in Germany and thus makes a significant contribution to Germany's innovation sovereignty. #wearetransfer
