Towards high resolution, validated and open global wind power assessments - Nature Communications This work presents a global wind power simulation tool that uses high-resolution data and extensive validation to improve accuracy. It corrects wind speed biases and validates against real-world data,...

New research in Nature Communications 📖
We present an open-source, time-resolved and globally validated wind power simulation workflow for ETHOS.RESKit, improving transparency and accuracy in wind resource and system integration studies.

🌥 10 Jahre 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗞𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗮𝗯𝗸𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻 – und der Weg zu den Klimazielen ist noch weit. Klar ist: Ohne fundierte #Energie- und #Klimaforschung gibt es keine wirksame #Klimapolitik. 🌾 Zum 10. Jahrestag des Abkommens haben wir gebündelt, was Jülicher Forschung beiträgt: www.fz-juelich.de/de/forschung...

A high-resolution downscaling approach for solar irradiance using statistical parameter matching The limited intra-hour variability of globally available hourly renewable energy system data leads to inaccuracies in the modeling of renewable energy…

🚀 New from our team: Global high-res solar irradiance data downscaled from 1h to 1min – boosting accuracy for energy system modelling.
Great work by Olalekan Omoyele and ICE-2 colleagues at @FZJuelich!

Wer weiß denn sowas?: Christian Berkel und Dietmar Bär – Sendung vom 15.10.2025 - hier anschauen Moderator Kai Pflaume begrüßt heute Christian Berkel und Dietmar Bär. Wie immer stehen Bernhard Hoëcker und Wotan Wilke Möhring als Teamkapitäne mit Rat und Tat parat!

Our study on land demand of renewables (iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...) was covered in a German quizshow yesterday (from min. 32): www.ardmediathek.de/video/wer-we...

Olga Kanz from our Sustainable Life Cycles team presented at EU PVSEC 2025:
📍 Europe in 2050: Material Challenges of Scaling up Photovoltaics
LCA shows silver and tellurium as key bottlenecks for EU PV deployment.
Critical input for sustainable planning.
Thanks to a strong PVSEC community in Bilbao!

Born in the 1970s out of oil crises & climate concerns, energy systems analysis now blends tech, economics & policy to shape sustainable futures. Great to be part of this growing community.🌍

Flyer for Energy System Analysis Lecture with QR codes to register

New lecture at the University of Siegen starting winter term 2025/26: Energy System Analysis. Students will learn how energy scenarios are built, their limits, and how to model complex systems. Thursdays 12–16h.

Mit #exa_JUPITER geht an unserm @fzj-jsc.bsky.social der erste europäische Supercomputer der Exascale-Klasse in Betrieb. Wir freuen uns auf Gäste aus Wissenschaft, Politik & Wirtschaft – u. a. Bundeskanzler 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝘇 und NRW-Ministerpräsident 𝗛𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗸 𝗪ü𝘀𝘁.

Erneuerbare statt Golf? 🏌️‍♂️| #HaraldLesch #TerraX YouTube video by Terra X Lesch & Co

🌱 Was wäre, wenn man die Fläche, die für Golfplätze zur Verfügung steht, für erneuerbare Energien nutzen würde? 🏌️‍♂️☀️
📺 In einem #TerraX -Video zeigt Harald Lesch, wie eine FZJ-Studie den Flächenbedarf der #Energiewende ins Verhältnis zu bestehenden Golfplätzen setzt.

🌍 What if the weather conditions are one of the biggest make-or-break factors for Direct Air Capture success?

Our new paper shows that weather variability isn’t just a detail—it can drastically change the cost and performance of DAC.
