"AKKU ALLE" exhibition opens
The exhibition "AKKU ALLE?!" will be on display at m25 (Münsterplatz 25) from June 4 to July 14, 2021.
Ulm's Lord Mayor Gunter Czisch and POLiS spokesperson Maximilian Fichtner opened the exhibition on energy storage and electromobility in front of media representatives. "We can see that batteries are becoming increasingly important in various areas of life - from electromobility to solar storage at home. There are many myths and criticisms about this and it was time for us to simply find out what the state of the art is," said Maximilian Fichtner, explaining the motivation behind the exhibition.
Somewhat provocatively, Ulm Battery Research poses the question: "AKKU ALLE?". The battery business is booming. At the same time, battery researchers in Ulm are faced with the challenge of ensuring that batteries deliver what they promise: A climate-friendly energy supply and electromobility for us all. This requires sustainable battery materials, some of which have yet to be invented.
These batteries of the future are being researched in Ulm. For the first time, Ulm battery research (POLiS Cluster of Excellence, Helmholtz Institute Ulm) is jointly organizing an exhibition on sustainable energy storage and electromobility for the public at m25 (Münsterplatz 25).
The AKKU ALLE exhibition features over 100 battery-powered exhibits from everyday life. Absolute highlights of the exhibition: In a "blackout" simulation for Ulm in 2029, a six-day power outage in the Donau-Iller region is virtually played out. Top-class exhibits from industry and science will also be on display. Including: a large-scale e-car module, a hydrogen aircraft, a home storage unit and over 100 individual exhibits from everyday life. Visitors will be amazed at where a battery is hidden.
