New Energy
Implementation for the Industrial Energy Transition
New Energy Systems are the backbone of industrial decarbonization. They reduce CO₂ emissions, cut energy costs, and strengthen resilience against volatile markets.
We focus on quick, scalable solutions:
Electrifying processes, recovering and storing waste heat, integrating hydrogen across the value chain, and leveraging renewables – all with a clear business case.
For industry, adopting these systems is not only a response to regulations and customer expectations. It’s a strategic move to stay competitive, reduce risk, and unlock new value.

Our New Energy focus area stands for comprehensive technology consulting and practical implementation solutions for decarbonizing industrial processes. As an innovation partner, we support companies on their path to climate-neutral production—strategically, technologically, and operationally.
Green Heat – Decarbonization Through Smart Heating Systems
We identify and evaluate alternative heating technologies that replace fossil fuels and are economically attractive at the same time. These include, in particular, electric heating systems, heat storage solutions, and high-temperature heat pumps.
Our technology scouting approaches are based on in-depth analyses and a broad network of research and industry contacts.
Hydrogen Economy – Industry Participation Along the Value Chain
We support companies in strategically positioning themselves in the hydrogen economy—from production and storage to utilization. In regional and European projects, we have established industrial networks, developed market development scenarios, and identified specific innovation needs in the form of white spot analyses.
High-Temperature Heat Pumps – Efficient Integration into Existing Production Processes
Our consulting services for the integration of high-temperature heat pumps (HTWP) are based on detailed process analyses and techno-economic assessments. HTWPs enable the electrical provision of process heat from waste heat sources and are particularly suitable for industries with heat requirements between 100–200°C (such as the paper or milk processing industries). We develop customized implementation strategies that take production quality, site conditions, and energy efficiency into equal consideration.
Selected Projects
LH₂ Container Logistics – Establishing a Scalable Hydrogen Transport Chain
The “Mini-Reallabor LH₂-Containerlogistik” funding project aimed to demonstrate a prototype for a scalable, intermodal transport chain for liquid hydrogen – from producer to consumer. The focus was on regulatory, technical, and economic framework conditions for the industrial and logistics use of LH₂ and was carried out in collaboration with IFW Dresden and HHLA.
Key elements of the project:
- Analysis of economic efficiency and sustainability along the entire value chain
- Development and evaluation of business cases for LH₂ container logistics
- Identification of regulatory hurdles in hinterland transport (road, rail, inland waterways)
- Derivation of strategic recommendations for action for scaling and market entry
Development of an E-Mobility Strategy for a Medium-Sized Company in the Caravan Sector
The iterative project process comprises four key steps that ensure a systematic approach to project development and allow clients to continuously integrate feedback and make adjustments:
- Internal Analysis: Systematic recording and analysis of own skills & competences
- External Analysis: Analysis of the market and technology environment & alignment of the technol. future
- Development of a technology strategy
- Integrated technology planning: Development of a technology roadmap
In total, nine different fields of technology and innovation (e.g. propulsion systems "battery vs fuel cell", design of battery systems, innovative heating systems, etc.) were analyzed and evaluated based on company competencies.
Different scenarios (heat demand, electricity demand, power supply, etc.) were analyzed and a technology roadmap for the next 5 years was developed and prioritized with the top management.
Identification of Future Energy Systems with Focus on Sustainable Heat Provision
In order to achieve a 50 % reduction in CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 2030 the different options were to be assessed in terms of ecological and economic impact Our approach was the following.
- Assessment of current energy provision in a Scope 1 and 2 intensive production with production plant visit
- Analysis of fit between technological options and production process
- Demonstrate non-technological, procurement related options
More than 15 different energy system technologies were evaluated economically and ecologically. In addition, the available options were prioritized in terms of the resources required and the achievable impact.
Market Entry Strategy for the High-Temperature Heat Pump Market
As part of a technology-driven innovation project, we partnered with a leading industrial provider of heating and cooling systems to conduct an in-depth analysis of integrating high-temperature heat pumps (HTHP) into energy-intensive production processes. The objective was to identify key levers for decarbonization and assess strategic market entry opportunities.
Results:
- Target Industry Assessment: Dairy and paper identified as particularly attractive industries with high waste‑heat potential and strong innovation readiness.
- Barrier & Solution Analysis: Integration barriers and potential solutions mapped (e.g., modular systems, process proximity, strategic partnerships).
- Strategic Market Entry: Developed a market entry model for HTHP system providers.
- Market Opportunity Modeling: Created a TAM/SAM/SOM-based market entry model for relevant target industries.
