Energy

Since his youth, Dr. Paschotta has intensively dealt with energy matters and acquired a detailed expertise. His main topics are energy efficiency and renewable energy — not only in the area of photonics.

The available competence on energy matters is demonstrated by various activities:

Dr. Paschotta has published the RP-Energie-Lexikon (in German), a comprehensive open-access resource on energy matters.
He has acted as a member of the foundation council of the Schweizerische Energiestiftung (Swiss Energy Foundation, SES) from 2001 to 2009.
In 2010, he planned the measures for comprehensive energy improvements to his house and managed to reduce the natural gas consumption by over 70%.

Dr. Paschotta offers various services such as

analysis and optimization of projects for utilizing new energy sources or increasing energy efficiency
analysis of new technologies in terms of feasibility, effectiveness and economic aspects
evaluation of political and administrative measures
training courses

Dr. Paschotta's motivation for activities in the energy sector is essentially not an economic one, but to contribute to sensible solutions in this area of very high importance for mankind.
