IMDEA Energy

The IMDEA Energy Institute is a Research Centre established by the Regional Government of Comunidad de Madrid and operates as a non-profit foundation. The Scientific Program of the IMDEA Energy Institute aims at contributing to the future establishment of a sustainable energy system. Thereby, two main objectives are guiding the work-program: • R&D activities focused on fostering the development of renewable energies. • R&D activities aimed at developing clean energy technologies that have none or minimal environmental impact. The ultimate goal of the IMDEA Energy Institute is to achieve outstanding scientific and technological contributions for reaching a sustainable energy system. The IMDEA Energy Institute is charged with strengthening and having a significant impact on the R&D activities on energy themes by bringing together high quality researchers, providing them with excellent infrastructures and resources, and promoting their close collaboration with the industrial sector. Research topics addressed at the IMDEA Energy Institute are concentrated within the following six areas: • Solar energy systems and technologies, with special emphasis in concentrating solar power. • Production of sustainable fuels for the transport sector: hydrogen, biofuels and wastederived fuels. • Energy storage coupled to renewable energies. • Smart management of electricity demand. • Energy systems with enhanced efficiency. • Confinement and valorization of CO2 emissions.
