The new graduate school ENZo offers the next generation of young researchers the opportunity to apply interdisciplinary knowledge in application-oriented projects that can visibly contribute to the transformation of the energy system.
Future researchers are characterized not only by their desire to understand how developments and technologies can be embedded in the overall context of the energy system, but also by their desire to contribute to its sustainable design. MTET themes such as

• Renewable Energy,
• Sector Coupling Industry - Electricity, Heat, Chemical Energy (Sources), and
• Circular Economy - Use of Raw Materials and Energy

are holisticly combined in the "Real World Projects" with the important viewpoints and aspects such as

• Machine Learning and Digital Tools
• Technoeconomics Assessment, Interaction with Society, Acceptance and Social Developments.

Embedded in the manifold technological and scientific possibilities at the KIT Energy Center, ENZo creates a unique development environment for PhD students.

TT-Prof. Dr. Moritz Wolf has received the prestigious Carl-Zerbe Prize from the German Scientific Society for Sustainable Energy Sources, Mobility and Carbon Cycles e. V. (DGMK). The prize recognizes outstanding scientific work by young scientists in the fields of processing and application of carbon carriers, such as their conversion. The award, endowed with €5,000, was presented at the DGMK/ÖGEW/SCI Conference "C1 Building Blocks for Future Chemistry" on October 12, 2023 in Dresden. Mr. Wolf holds the Tenure-Track Professorship "Catalyst Materials for the Energy Transition" at the Engler-Bunte-Institut and is active in his independent research with a working group at the Institute for Catalysis Research and Technology (IKFT). His research topics focus on catalyst and process development for chemical energy carriers, for example via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs), or the conversion of CO2 into hydrocarbons.

The Hanns Hofmann Prize 2020 is awarded to IMVT scientist Dr.-Ing. Michael Rubin for his pioneering work on the development of hierarchically structured materials and their combination with innovative reactor concepts. The ProcessNet Reaction Engineering division awards the Hanns Hofmann Prize to promote young scientists in the field of chemical reaction engineering. The presentation by chairman Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörg Sauer was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic and took place on a sunny June day in front of the jet fuel container of the Energy Lab 2.0.
