Welcome to
Reiner Lemoine Institute
The goal of the institute is to scientifically support the long-term transition of the energy supply to 100% renewables. The institute’s basic funding is provided by Reiner Lemoine-Stiftung. Reiner Lemoine was a pioneer of renewable energy. While others were thinking and talking about alternative forms of energy, Reiner Lemoine took the lead and founded the solar companies SOLON and Q-Cells, amongst others.
Research Units
Transformation of
Energy Systems
We analyze and optimize future scenarios with an energy supply largely based on renewable energy sources.
Mobility with
Renewable Energies
We analyze sustainable mobility concepts through sophisticated implementation and optimization of renewable energy systems.
Knowledge Sharing
Knowledge Sharing
In addition to our independent scientific work, we also support the transformation of energy systems through individual project commissions and studies for businesses, policy makers, local actors, and civil groups.
RLI Tools
At RLI, we have developed various software tools that we use internally and can make available to third parties.
Open Source
Wherever possible, we follow the principles of open science and try to make the majority of our scientific work accessible. This forms the technical and legal basis for scientific reproducibility and genuine participation in the energy system transformation.
