KIT at Hannover Messe 2022
Climate and risk research, security for sustainable energy systems, intelligent data management for companies, an innovative process that converts climate-damaging carbon dioxide into the valuable raw material carbon black - fine-grained carbon - and a technology for producing green methanol: From May 30 to June 2, 2022, KIT will present these and other topics at Hannover Messe 2022, in the Future Hub (Hall 2, Stand B40) and at Energy Solutions (Hall 13, Stand D62).

Harnessing Climate Research for Society
The South German Climate Office at KIT
Which effects does global climate change have on single regions? What can we do to mitigate it? And how can we adapt to the unavoidable consequences? Questions like these arise in many branches. Planners and decision-makers in politics, industry, and society need scientifically sound and close-to-practice information to deal with these issues. The South-German Climate Office at KIT is committed to providing exactly this information.
Analyzing and Reducing Risks
Startup Risklayer
Risks increasingly shape our everyday lives and are ever more present in politics and current affairs. Every crisis, whether natural or human-made, challenges our understanding of individual and societal risks. KIT’s startup Risklayer models and analyzes these risks and identifies the solutions to reduce them.
Understanding Hazards – Estimating Risks – Enhancing Resilience
CEDIM – Center for Disaster Management and Risk Reduction Technology
Time and again, storms, floods, earthquakes, and other extreme events cause many deaths and severe damage. Due to global change, in particular climate change, population growth, urbanization, and our dependence on critical infrastructures, the frequency and effects of such events will increase significantly in future. Research of KIT’s Center for Disaster Management and Risk Reduction Technology, CEDIM for short, is aimed at managing and preventing natural and technical risks.
Protection against Fraud on the Internet
NoPhish Concept of Protective Measures Ranging from the Flyer to the Online Game
Fraudulent messages come as emails or in other forms. With the help of the NoPhish concept developed by the SECUSO research group of KIT, users can detect them and protect themselves. The NoPhish concept includes various measures, such as flyers, training material, explanation videos, posters, and an online game, to raise awareness, impart knowledge, and explain how persons, companies, and institutions can protect themselves.
Also present at the stand is the humanoid robot STAR (Security Teaching & Awareness Robot).It supports the SECUSO research team in the training in the field of cyber security.
Combination of Real and Synthetic Data
Startup Aimino
The Aimino startup offers services and tools for the efficient cleaning of existing datasets of companies. In addition, Aimino offers to extend the datasets by synthetic data meeting the needs of the customers. This helps prevent data breaches. With Amelia, a tool offered by Aimino, AI engineers can generate customized synthetic data, thus saving time and costs.
Energy Transition and Circular Economy
CarbonCycleLab
The CarbonCycleLab covers the complete process chain of the future carbon cycle: From residues and waste materials to basic chemical substances produced on their basis that will replace fossil fuels in chemical industry. The CarbonCycleLab combines the energy transition with circular economy and thus contributes to making future economy resource-efficient, climate-neutral, and competitive.
From a Climate-damaging Greenhouse Gas to an Economically Viable Material
NECOC – Negative Emissions by Separating Atmospheric CO2 into Economically Viable Carbon Black and Oxygen
A consortium of KIT institutes and industrial companies has developed an integrated process to achieve negative emissions. Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is decomposed into elemental carbon (carbon black, C) and oxygen (O2). The solid carbon in the form of microgranular powder is separated and then, as a high-priced educt, used in rubber, construction, or electrical industries.
Towards Competitive Renewable Fuels
Startup ICODOS
KIT’s startup ICODOS has developed a technology that efficiently combines carbon dioxide separation and methanol synthesis and, hence, contributes to making renewable fuels competitive. Initial implementation will concentrate on biogas. However, it is planned to also use the technology for other CO2 point sources in cement industry, for instance. A pilot plant is under construction and will be integrated in KIT’s Energy Lab 2.0.
