From Heat Planning to Hydrogen Transformation
The exhibition is divided into various worlds of knowledge and is oriented towards the most pressing questions regarding the energy transition. A central topic is the local heat transition, which is being driven forward by the municipal heat planning for Jena and the expansion of district heating networks in Jena and Pößneck. Specific neighborhood concepts, such as the ANIKA project in Jena-Nord, are also addressed.
Furthermore, the information offering is dedicated to forward-looking infrastructure projects. Visitors can find out about smart grids, the status of electromobility in the region, and the potential of hydrogen transformation. For private households, the exhibition also offers specific points of contact on topics such as the Building Energy Act (GEG), photovoltaics, and climate-friendly living.
Background: The “JenErgieReal” Project
The “JenErgieReal” (Jenaer Energiewende Real) project, initiated by Stadtwerke Jena and funded by the federal government, is a central component of the city’s climate strategy. It is a so-called “Reallabor der Energiewende” (Real-world laboratory of the energy transition). The goal is to intelligently couple the electricity, heat, and transport sectors in practice. Digital control systems and storage media are used to compensate for fluctuations in the feed-in of renewable energies. The exhibition serves as an interface to make the complex technology transparent and tangible for the public and to answer questions about local supply security.
