The Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion (TRK) is proving to be a pioneer in the field of sustainable energy innovations. From pioneering software solutions for the energy market to infrastructure-focused initiatives and the design of CO₂-free neighborhoods. The TRK network actively contributes to the energy transition and also strengthens visibility and exchange in order to jointly implement innovative projects and establish TRK as an important energy location.
Aktuelle Projekte der TechnologieRegion Karlsruhe GmbH im Energiebereich konzentrieren sich insbesondere auf zukunftsweisende Themenfelder. Dazu gehören unter anderem grüner Wasserstoff, der Ausbau von Ladeinfrastruktur für E-LKWs, Geothermie sowie integrierte Infrastrukturen für Wasserstoff, Wärme und CO2.

In order to successfully implement the energy transition, TRK relies on close cooperation between politics, business, science and citizens. In doing so, it emphasizes the importance of social acceptance, the promotion of investments, the pooling of interests and the international marketing of innovative solutions. The continuous further development of the energy strategy with regular evaluations and an advisory board ensures long-term success.
With RE-Action 1.5, the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion presents an ambitious energy strategy as one of the three central economic focal points of the region. In response to the global climate targets, TRK is emphasizing its role as a pioneer and beacon for the energy transition, which is being driven forward in collaboration with companies, research institutions and municipalities. Within the strategy, the focus is on a decentralized approach, the success of which is based on cooperation between cities and municipalities.
The vision of the TRK for the year 2050 is to achieve the climate policy goals of the Paris Climate Conference and to position itself as a model region for the energy transition and climate protection. The strategy focuses on:
In doing so, TRK is utilizing its existing technological potential and establishing itself as a hotspot for innovative energy solutions.
Die Tiefen-Geothermie (auch in Verbindung mit der Lithium-Gewinnung) beschäftigt die Bevölkerung am Oberrhein in hohem Maße. Insbesondere in der Technologieregion Karlsruhe werden sowohl das große Potenzial dieser degenerativen Energieerzeugungsform als auch bestehende Vorbehalte und Informationsbedarfe deutlich spürbar.
Vor diesem Hintergrund hat die TechnologieRegion Karlsruhe GmbH gemeinsam mit zentralen Akteuren der Region ein Positionspapier erarbeitet. Dabei wurde auf bereits bestehende Positionspapiere des Regionalverbands Mittlerer Oberrhein und des Oberrheinrats Bezug genommen und deren Zielsetzungen unterstützt, die Nutzung der Tiefen-Geothermie in der Region zu fördern und zu intensivieren.
Umsetzung:
Die Tiefen-Geothermie kann einen signifikanten Beitrag zu einer umweltfreundlichen Versorgung der TechnologieRegion Karlsruhe (TRK) mit Wärme, Kälte und Strom leisten. Insbesondere im Wärmebereich, der heute 56% des nationalen Energiebedarfs ausmacht, könnte die Tiefen-Geothermie einen entscheidenden Beitrag zur Versorgungssicherheit und der Wärmewende leisten – grundlastfähig und CO2 neutral. Dazu müssen die außerordentlichen Ressourcen der Geothermie im Oberrhein-graben deutlich stärker erschlossen werden als bisher.
Zur Tiefen-Geothermie haben sowohl der Regionalverband Mittlerer Oberrhein am 7. Dezember 2022 als auch der Oberrheinrat (27. Juni 2022) eigene Positionen vorgelegt. Das Positionspapier der TechnologieRegion Karlsruhe GmbH nimmt auf diese Papiere konkret Bezug und unterstützt deren Zielsetzungen auch inhaltlich, die Nutzung der Tiefen-Geothermie in der Region zu fördern und zu intensivieren.
From the perspective of local authorities, business and politics, Technologie-Region Karlsruhe GmbH would like to make a contribution to strengthening deep geothermal energy and its special potential for heat and resource extraction, taking into account its particular spatial allocation. Specific proposals will be made and measures called for to speed up approval processes and increase understanding and acceptance among citizens on both sides of the Rhine through information, communication and participation formats.
The region is called upon to develop an overarching regional energy concept with clear political objectives with the support of the states of Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Württemberg. On this basis, framework conditions are to be developed that support the political decision-making processes in the municipalities and contribute to setting market-based framework conditions and promoting inter-municipal strategy development in the area of the heat transition.
The heat present in the earth's crust can be utilized in many ways.
Cold water is pumped into the earth's mantle, heated by the geothermal energy and pumped back up again. The steam produced during the heating process can be used to generate energy.
Security of supply, affordability and environmental compatibility through innovative climate protection: this is the goal being pursued by the project partners at TRK with the H2iPortKA hydrogen project.

In den vergangenen Jahren waren Unternehmen einem teils enormen Anstieg der Energiekosten ausgesetzt. Während der reine Energiepreis lediglich über die Wahl des Versorgers beeinflusst werden kann und meist nur für ein Drittel der Energiekosten verantwortlich ist, sind die Netznutzungsentgelte ein vielfach vernachlässigter Kostentreiber.
Grundsätzlich werden die Netznutzungsentgelte auf Basis einheitlicher Preisregelungen von den regionalen Verteilnetzbetreibern erhoben. Das vom Letztverbraucher zu zahlende Netzentgelt bestimmt sich nach der Jahresarbeit und der Jahresleistungsspitze. Im § 19 der Stromnetzentgeltverordnung (StromNEV) hat der Gesetzgeber drei Ausnahmeregelungen für Sonderformen der Netznutzung geschaffen, die es Letztverbrauchern ermöglichen, von reduzierten Netznutzungsentgelten zu profitieren. Eine davon ist die sog. atypische Netznutzung. Dabei wird dem Letztverbraucher nicht mehr die Jahreshöchstleistung in Rechnung gestellt, sondern die reduzierte Leistungsspitze im sogenannten Hochlastzeitfenster (den Zeiten der stärksten Netzauslastung). Die Hochlastzeitfenster 2024 im Raum Karlsruhe liegen nur in den Wintermonaten am späten Nachmittag, sodass viele Unternehmen in der Region die Netzentgelte um durchschnittlich 8.000,- Euro bis 16.000,- Euro reduzieren können.
Unternehmen können ihre Anspruchsberechtigung auf individuelle Netzentgelte durch Energieberater oder spezialisierte Dienstleister prüfen und umsetzen lassen. Die Energie Weitblick GmbH bietet bspw. unter http://www.energie-weitblick.de/netzentgelte/ einen kostenlosen Quick-Check an und übernimmt bei Bedarf das vollständige Anzeigeverfahren.
The ideas competition "Energy and Environment - My Idea for Tomorrow" is aimed at doctoral students from all disciplines who are developing innovative concepts for the energy transition and environmental protection. Participants can submit projects that deal, for example, with resource-savingenergy storage systems, environmentally friendly materials or the motivation to reduce CO2 emissions. The best ideas will be awarded cash prizes. These will then be presented at the "Energy Campus" symposium. The aim of the competition is to find sustainable solutions for future energy and environmental challenges and to involve young researchers in this process.
Further information on the competition can be found here.
