Joachim Nitsch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joachim Nitsch (born December 21, 1940 ) is a German engineering scientist .

Career

After studying aerospace engineering at the University of Stuttgart , Nitsch received his doctorate in 1971 from RWTH Aachen University on coupled heat and material exchange. From 1976 to 2005 Nitsch was head of the system analysis and technology assessment department at the Institute for Technical Thermodynamics at DLR in Stuttgart. In addition, from 1988 to 1993 he headed the system analysis department at the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research in Baden-Württemberg . Nitsch has had a particular influence on German energy policy in recent times through his significant involvement in the “lead studies” of the Federal Environment Ministry for the expansion of renewable energies , which have established themselves as the scientific basis for the renewable energies policy ( energy transition ) in Germany over the past decade .

Nitsch's work focuses on: a. Scenario analyzes and technology assessment as well as studies and reports on new energy and drive systems, in particular on regenerative energies, combined heat and power, and hydrogen technologies and biofuels . In addition, he developed market launch concepts for the use of these technologies in the context of a sustainable energy industry .

From 2012 to the Annual General Meeting in August 2018, Nitsch was a member of the supervisory board of ABO Wind AG, a Wiesbaden-based project developer for renewable energies.
