Transformation of the Energy and Industrial Systems

27 Nov 2024

The transformation of energy and industrial systems is one of the most pressing challenges of our time—and an opportunity for sustainable future investments. In his lecture at the House of Energy Congress 2024, Prof. Dr. Stefan Lechtenböhmer from the University of Kassel will discuss the challenges and perspectives of transforming our energy and industrial systems.
