The 45-minute lectures take place every Wednesday at 6.30 pm at the THI, Campus Ingolstadt, Room G215, and online via Zoom. The access data can be found at www.thi.de/go/ringvorlesung-umwelt, prior registration is not required. Participation is free of charge.

The first lecture will take place on Wednesday, 22 November 2023, at 6.30 pm on the topic of "Wind energy in Bavaria - current status and challenges for the future". Speakers Johannes Ehbauer and Stefan Koller from WINDPOWER GmbH in Regensburg will shed light on where the challenges lie and what opportunities and solutions are available for Bavarian wind energy.

On Wednesday, 29 November 2023, at 6.30 pm, the topic will be "Farmergy - AI, and digitalization in agriculture as a building block for a future energy system". The FarmErgy research project is working on making optimum use of the symbiosis of agriculture and grid security through artificial intelligence (AI) and digitalization and implementing it as a building block for our future energy system. The speakers are Christoph Homa and Alina Sommer from Maschinenringe Deutschland GmbH as well as Professor Markus Goldbrunner, Julian Braun, and Akhilesh Yadav from the Institute for New Energy Systems (InES) at THI.

On Wednesday, 6 December 2023, at 18:30, we will take a look at southern Africa with the lecture "Energy situation in Namibia - current status and plans for green hydrogen" by Professor Samuel John. Professor John from the Namibia University of Science and Technology will talk about the energy situation in Namibia and the country's ambitious plans for green hydrogen. Although Namibia imports around 60 percent of its electricity, it can be described as a net exporter of energy. Professor John refers to this seemingly paradoxical situation as the energy-electricity paradox. 

The speakers will be available for discussion afterward. The event is organized by Professor Dr.-Ing. Sabine Bschorer, Head of the Bachelor's degree program "Energy Systems and Renewable Energies" (www.thi.de/go/eee) in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
