With the support of artificial intelligence, it should be possible in future to plan and operate data centres in the Frankfurt area in such a way that negative effects on the environment are reduced.

With DESTINI, the solar thermal blind is being implemented for the first time in the largest European innovation quarter near Frankfurt a.M. The Borderstep Institute is supporting the project.

The overall objective of the project is to develop and demonstrate an energy-efficient, standardised data center with liquid-cooled servers in which the waste heat is converted into cold.

The ArKol research project is developing novel thermal solar collectors for use in building facades. Borderstep supports the project consortium on behalf of Fraunhofer ISE.

More than 50 partners will be working together on the northeast German model region for smart energy, as part of the collaborative WindNODE project.

Climate protection and supply security will play a vital role in the future of energy supply. The dye-sensitized solar cell, an innovative new solar cell technology, is giving rise to new applications.
