The JenErgieReal real-world laboratory in focus
The exhibition focuses on the findings and technological developments from the Jena real-world laboratory for the energy transition, JenErgieReal. The project aims to research and practically test viable solutions for a sustainable, efficient, and cross-sector energy supply in urban areas. This is not just about abstract theory: the exhibition clearly demonstrates which forward-looking concepts are already integrated into everyday life in Jena – similar to innovative energy concepts that have already been awarded for the Smartes Quartier Lobeda.
Interactive stations invite participation
A special focus of the exhibition is on the active participation of visitors. Several interactive stations invite them to playfully discover the background of the global and local energy transition. Visitors can simulate their own scenarios at the modules, thereby gaining a better understanding of the complex interrelationships of power generation, storage, and consumption in the urban grid. The offer is aimed at all age groups and provides exciting insights for both laypeople and experts.
🎭 Culture & City Life: Jena on the way to becoming a Smart City
Jena is increasingly establishing itself as a pioneer in Thuringia in the field of digital and sustainable urban development. The JenErgieReal real-world laboratory intelligently links local energy systems to drastically reduce CO2 emissions in urban areas. The multi-part exhibition at the EnergieLabor provides an important bridge between cutting-edge scientific research and the population of Jena, in order to strengthen acceptance and active participation in the energy transition locally.
