Towards a Sustainable Energy System; the German Model — •Robert Schlögl — Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Berlin — Max-Planck-Institut für Chemische Energiekonversion, Mülheim a.d. Ruhr

The integration of fossil, biological and direct solar primary energy carriers into a system of sustainable, secure and affordable energy system for our human activities is a challenge for physics/chemistry as much as for societal considerations. The present status and the scale of the required transformations will be elucidated using the German energy system.

We derive from a systemic view onto this challenge[1] some critical achievements that have to be met by surface and interface science in order to arrive at the critical world scale solutions for interchanging free electrons and chemical bonds as energy carriers. The requirements for these achievements lead us back to rather old but unsolved fundamental questions in interface science.
