Let’s take a closer look at our next #scienceglossary term for the research field #energy: “catalysis". #Catalysts can be metals, chemical compounds, or enzymes — they speed up reactions without being used up: go.tum.de/917142

📷TUM CCC/ T. Hamacher
Graphic from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) titled 'TUM science glossary – Catalysis.' The text explains that catalysis is a chemical process accelerated by a catalyst, which is not consumed or altered during the reaction and helps save time, energy, and costs.

Energy is convertible and can occur in different forms. Next up in our #scienceglossary is the term #energyconversion, which takes place, for example, in #batteries or large-scale #generators: go.tum.de/917142

📷TUM CCC/ T. Hamacher
Yellow graphic with TUM logo. Title: ‘TUM science glossary – Energy conversion’. Text explains that energy conversion means changing one form of energy into another, e.g. batteries convert chemical into electrical energy and generators convert mechanical into electrical energy. Goal: reduce energy loss and increase efficiency. URL: www.tum.de/energy

Our #scienceglossary continues with the next #energy key term: #fossilfuels. They remain central to today’s #energysupply, while at the same time representing one of the main challenges for achieving #climateneutrality: go.tum.de/917142

📷TUM CCC/ T. Hamacher
Blue graphic from TUM with the title 'Fossil fuels.' Text explains that fossil fuels like coal and oil are non-renewable resources formed from dead organic material over millions of years. They powered the Industrial Revolution and modern lifestyle, but burning them releases carbon dioxide (CO₂), which harms the climate. Includes TUM logo and website link www.tum.de/energy
