Eindhoven Institute for Renewable Energy Systems

Accelerating the energy transition

The aim of the Eindhoven Institute for Renewable Energy Systems (EIRES) is to accelerate the energy transition by bringing together ºÚÁϸ£ÀûÍø researchers from different departments, working on materials, processes and systems for energy storage and conversion.

About EIRES

EIRES enables a CO2-neutral energy system by developing solutions that deliver the energy transition to people’s homes in a manufacturable, scalable, and affordable way.

The institute brings together ºÚÁϸ£ÀûÍø researchers from different departments who work on materials, processes and systems for energy storage and conversion. In close collaboration with industry, EIRES actively translates scientific findings into practical solutions.

Research

We need affordable and scalable systems and devices to transport, convert and store energy in different forms, like electrons, molecules, or heat. This requires breakthroughs in materials research and energy conversion devices, including their critical materials interfaces, and in process and engineering knowledge of devices and systems. To make the proper design decisions about our future multi-carrier energy system, systems integration and scenario studies of the energy system as a whole are crucial.
