DTM.Energy features the following tracks:
DTM.Energy features the following tracks:
Energy Storage & Advanced Battery Technologies
Grid operators and energy procurement directors face a structural cost problem. Price spikes from grid imbalances drive up electricity costs and create downtime risk. Legacy batteries degrade fast, inflating cost per kWh and replacement cycles. Advanced energy storage closes that gap. At this track, 100+ large-scale industrial storage projects demonstrate how next-generation battery chemistries, long-duration storage systems, and AI-optimised management platforms cut electricity costs by more than 20% for energy-intensive industries.

Challenges that you face include:
Grid imbalances trigger price spikes, raising electricity costs and creating downtime risks for energy-intensive operations
Legacy batteries degrade rapidly, driving up cost per stored kWh and replacement expenses across industrial portfolios
Battery components struggle to boost energy density and speed without relying on rare earths, limiting scalability and supply chain resilience
Slow market adoption of emerging storage technologies like seasonal thermal storage delays new revenue opportunities
High upfront cost per stored kWh blocks large-scale adoption and undermines return on investment across distributed assets
Solutions you will find at DTM:
Next-Gen Battery Chemistries:
solid-state, sodium-ion, lithium-sulfur, iron-air, flow batteries
Advanced Materials & Components:
nanomaterials for electrodes, solid electrolytes
Long-Duration Storage:
thermal, mechanical, compressed air, gravity systems
Integrated Storage & Management Systems:
electronics, battery management software, AI optimisation
Hybrid & Modular Platforms:
combining multiple storage technologies for cost and performance gains

Novel Fuels & Hydrogen
Energy directors and plant operators in heavy industry face a decarbonisation deadline. EU regulations, including Fit for 55, ETS, and CBAM, are forcing the transition away from fossil energy. Novel fuels and hydrogen remain too costly per MWh for most industrial applications. This track closes the cost gap. At this track, 50+ hydrogen and novel fuel partnerships connect production innovators with energy-intensive industries to cut emissions by 30% at competitive costs.

Challenges that you face include:
EU regulations (Fit for 55, ETS, CBAM) force decarbonisation timelines, raising compliance costs and exposure to carbon border adjustments
Novel fuels and hydrogen remain 2 to 4x more expensive per MWh than fossil alternatives for baseload industrial demand
Missing transport and storage infrastructure blocks reliable large-scale supply chains for hydrogen and synthetic fuels
Safety and handling challenges increase operational expenditure and limit integration into existing plant systems
Limited scalability of green hydrogen production constrains adoption in heavy industry, steel, and chemicals
Solutions you will find at DTM:
Low-cost Hydrogen Production:
electrolysis (PEM, alkaline, solid oxide), plasma, microbial pathways
Synthetic Fuels:
e-fuels from captured CO₂, synthetic kerosene, methanol, ammonia, SAFs
Storage & Transport Solutions:
compressed and liquid hydrogen, Liquid organic hydrogen carriers
Conversion Systems:
high-temperature fuel cells, advanced industrial combustion systems
Catalysts & Advanced processes:
novel catalysts, membrane reactors, high-efficiency separation, purification technologies

AI-Powered Energy Procurement and Management
Energy procurement directors and CFOs face budget uncertainty. Volatile spot and futures markets create price exposure that conventional hedging strategies cannot fully mitigate. Manual procurement processes leave revenue on the table. AI-powered energy management captures that value. At this track, 50+ AI energy procurement pilots demonstrate how intelligent platforms cut energy costs by more than 20% for large enterprises through automated trading, demand response, and portfolio optimisation.

Challenges that you face include:
Price peaks in futures markets expose enterprises to budget uncertainty and overspending
Volatile spot and futures markets could be exploited while enterprises loose revenue chance
Fuel switching and adapting production processes to new fuels complicate operations and impact volume and cost control
PPAs and hedging instruments remain complex, limiting adoption and risk mitigation
Political instabilities amplify market swings, undermining long-term procurement planning
Solutions you will find at DTM:
Smart Metering & IoT:
real-time tracking, automated data collection, predictive load monitoring
AI-Powered Procurement & Trading:
contract optimization across PPAs, hedging, spot and futures markets, automated bidding, energy procurement autopilots
Energy Orchestration & Analytics:
demand response, storage integration, production-consumption balancing, energy portfolio management
& more.
