azare Research Center

The aim of azare is to support stakeholders who are involved in the ramp-up of an emission-free industrial society with a focus on the decarbonization of mobility, buildings and production in overcoming technical, socio-economic and economic challenges. The expertise of the professors at RheinMain University of Applied Sciences (HSRM) will be used to investigate all aspects - socio-economic, economic and technical - and to develop solutions with the partners. The focus is on research questions of social relevance.

The holistic approach pursued by the research center is based on the energy-efficient use of electricity, heat and fuel (hydrogen, SAFs, RNBOs) generated from renewable energies, their use and storage while avoiding harmful emissions and greenhouse gases. The aim is to transform today's energy system towards the maximum use of renewable energies and to bring them together systemically via sector coupling. Together with HSRM researchers and in collaboration with partners, we analyze the relevant research questions and develop solutions. Thanks to the diverse expertise and research orientations of our members, we cover many areas of energy conversion technologies and their social requirements. These include basic enabling technologies as well as securing and designing infrastructures. The azare application center is a platform for researchers, SMEs, industry and start-ups with a focus on engineering sciences. Through cooperation with local industry, politics (state of Hesse), the city of Rüsselsheim and others, an active network for solving upcoming energy issues is being established.

azare starts where basic research leaves the laboratories and develops these approaches to the preliminary stage of competitive implementation. In addition to the researchers, students in the relevant subject areas are also involved so that they learn how to implement technologies in a practical way.

Our expertise

We provide support in the search for, application for and realisation of research projects (third-party funding, contract research, transfer projects) in the fields of mobility, buildings and production. For us, this means

• We search for suitable funding programs, prepare their contents and forward them to the scientists and our partners.
• We provide support from the preparation of the application to the submission of the project proposal.
• We take care of the entire administrative process as well as controlling and monitoring.
• We act as an interface between the funders, the internal third-party funding department and the project managers.
• We promote, support and accompany spin-offs.
