Kolloquium

Colloquia Series on Sustainable Metallurgy
Challenges and Perspectives for the Development of High Temperature Materials

Speaker: Prof. Alexander Kauffmann, Materials Science and Engineering, Ruhr University Bochum

Host: on invitation of Prof. Erik Bitzek

Abstract
Despite the rapid advancement of renewable energy sources, enhancing the efficiency of energy conversion from fossil or synthetic fuels remains crucial for achieving climate goals, as some technologies—such as aircraft propulsion—may not transition to full electric power within the next few decades.
