Fraunhofer-Institute for
Wind Energy and Energy
systems Technology IWEs
The new Fraunhofer-Institute for Wind Energy and Energy sys-
tems Technology IWEs was founded in 2009 and consists of the
former Fraunhofer-Center für Windenergie und Meeres technik
CWMT in Bremerhaven and the Kassel Institut für solare Ener-
gie versorgungstechnik – IsET e.v.
The research areas of the institute contain the complete
spectrum of wind energy as well as energy systems technology
for the utilisation of all kinds of renewable energy sources.
The portfolio ranges from theoretical work to experimental
research and field tests, through to device developments.
The r&D division bioenergy systems technology, located at
IWEs Hanau site, is focused on the energetic use of biogas.
The main activities on biomass in power generation relate to
systems technology for generating power from biomass at
decentralised plants. Here, the IWEs focuses on the integrated
systems technology analysis, the application of new energy conversion
for power generation and the development of measurement
methods and new methods for design and operation.
In the area of biogas upgrading, IWEs is conducting within
the European research project BIoGasMaX a monitoring of
European biogas upgrading plants and developing a micro gas
distribution system for local network integration of biogas at
the agricultural centre Eichhof. Currently IWEs is conducting
with the Fraunhofer-Institute UMsICHT and DBFZ the project
BIoMon “Evaluation of biomethane supply, distribution and
utilisation in Germany by a market monitoring” that is supported
by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, nature
Conservation and nuclear safety.

GasaG Berliner Gaswerke
aktiengesellschaft
Company.profile..
The GasaG Berliner Gaswerke aktiengesellschaft has been a
part of the history of Berlin for more than 160 years. Today it
supplies gas to round about 600,000 customers. In Berlin, the
company’s name is synonymous with both gas supply security
and the use of innovative, environmentally friendly, energy saving
technologies.
as a result of the 2007 initiation of the program “Berlin obliges
– decentralised energy supply as a chance.” Co emissions in
2
Berlin should decrease by one million tons. The program will
help secure a decentralised energy supply. It will also encourage
the modernisation of heating systems and the development
of energy efficient and renewable resources such as biogas.
