This paper analyses temperature-specific waste heat potentials in automotive factories, distinguishing between vehicle assembly and component production. Waste heat sources are classified according to their integration feasibility, differentiating between directly usable heat and lower-temperature heat requiring upgrading via heat pumps. Using real-world operational data from eight automotive factories, waste heat potentials are quantified relative to site-specific heat demand. The results show that vehicle assembly factories exhibit relatively homogeneous shares of directly usable waste heat, while indirectly usable potentials vary strongly across sites, particularly in component manufacturing. To capture temporal utilisation constraints, a time-resolved case study is conducted for one vehicle assembly factory, combining hourly waste heat availability, internal heat demand and the load of an external district heating network. The dynamic analysis indicates that a substantial share of available waste heat can be utilised internally over the year, including periods of full internal heat coverage, while only limited surpluses remain available for external use. Overall, the findings underline the importance of factory-level, time-resolved analyses for identifying realistically utilisable waste heat shares and for supporting site-specific planning of waste heat integration under realistic constraints, thereby supporting the decarbonisation of industrial and urban thermal energy systems.}}, author = {{Berendes, Manuel and Dehning, Patrick and Schlüter, Alexander}}, booktitle = {{International Sustainable Energy Conference}}, editor = {{Fink, Christian and Brunner, Christoph}}, title = {{{Waste Heat Utilisation in Automotive Factories}}}, doi = {{https://doi.org/10.52825/isec.v2i}}, year = {{2026}}, } @article{58116, author = {{Mohammadian, Noushin and Fatahi Valilai, Omid and Schlüter, Alexander}}, issn = {{2199-8531}}, journal = {{Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity}}, number = {{1}}, publisher = {{Elsevier BV}}, title = {{{Sustainable design and repair: Leveraging circular economy and machine learning for product development}}}, doi = {{10.1016/j.joitmc.2025.100469}}, volume = {{11}}, year = {{2025}}, } @inproceedings{63019, author = {{Donner, Johannes Aurelius Tamino and Schlüter, Alexander}}, booktitle = {{SDEWES Conference 2025}}, keywords = {{5GDHC, district heating, DHC, waste heat, AI-Driven}}, location = {{Dubrovnik}}, title = {{{Development of an AI-driven decentralized control for fifth generation district heating and cooling networks}}}, year = {{2025}}, } @article{59056, author = {{Seeger, Karl and Genovese, Matteo and Schlüter, Alexander and Kockel, Christina and Corigliano, Orlando and Díaz Canales, Edith Benjamina and Praktiknjo, Aaron and Fragiacomo, Petronilla}}, issn = {{0360-3199}}, journal = {{International Journal of Hydrogen Energy}}, pages = {{558--576}}, publisher = {{Elsevier BV}}, title = {{{Techno-economic analysis of hydrogen and green fuels supply scenarios assessing three import routes: Canada, Chile, and Algeria to Germany}}}, doi = {{10.1016/j.ijhydene.2025.02.379}}, volume = {{116}}, year = {{2025}}, } @article{60837, abstract = {{In light of growing demands for resource efficiency and sustainability in vehicle engineering, the environmentally compatible separation of structural adhesive joints is gaining increasing relevance. This study presents a comparative analysis of two physically based debonding methods: the established hot-air process and a cryogenic cold process based on liquid nitrogen (LN2). The primary objective is to assess the ecological impact and process-related sustainability of both approaches. Experimental investigations were conducted on a component-representative triple-sheet structure that simulates common automotive flange joints. Thermal input was applied either by convective heating using a hot air gun or by direct cooling through a contact-based LN2 tool. The resulting temperature profiles were recorded using spatially distributed thermocouples. Subsequently, the outer panel was selectively debonded to replicate a repair scenario, and the mechanical integrity of the remaining adhesive joint was evaluated through Mode I testing of L-shaped specimens. Process data served as input for an Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) according to DIN EN ISO 14040. The cryogenic method achieved a 40% reduction in carbon footprint compared to the hot-air process (0.337 kg vs. 0.559 kg CO2-equivalents), primarily due to its shorter process time and more efficient heat transfer. While the hot-air method’s impact is mainly driven by electrical energy use, that of the cold method stems from cryogenic media consumption. Notwithstanding certain disadvantages in specific impact categories, the LN2-based process exhibits a superior overall ecological performance and signifies a promising solution for repair- and recycling-oriented adhesive separation in structural vehicle applications.}}, author = {{Jordan, Alex and Hermelingmeier, Lucas and Gilich, Julian and Meschut, Gerson and De Santis, Marco Sebastian and Schlüter, Alexander}}, issn = {{2666-3309}}, journal = {{Journal of Advanced Joining Processes}}, keywords = {{Sustainable debonding, Structural adhesives, Sustainable joining technologies, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Automotive repair process, Economically efficient debonding}}, publisher = {{Elsevier}}, title = {{{Comparison of the economic efficiency and sustainability of two debonding processes for structurally bonded sills}}}, doi = {{10.1016/j.jajp.2025.100332}}, volume = {{12}}, year = {{2025}}, } @inbook{59841, author = {{Genovese, Matteo and Piraino, Francesco and Corigliano, Orlando and Schlüter, Alexander and Scionti, Eugenio and Fragiacomo, Petronilla}}, booktitle = {{Accelerating the Transition to a Hydrogen Economy}}, isbn = {{9780443240027}}, publisher = {{Elsevier}}, title = {{{Hydrogen economy development in the European Union}}}, doi = {{10.1016/b978-0-443-24002-7.00005-7}}, year = {{2025}}, } @article{60681, author = {{Díaz Canales, Edith Benjamina and Avila Galarza, Alfredo and Schlüter, Sabine and Lacayo Escobar, Erick and Schlüter, Alexander}}, issn = {{3044-5221}}, journal = {{Journal of Sustainable Development Indicators}}, number = {{2}}, pages = {{1--26}}, publisher = {{SDEWES Centre}}, title = {{{Implementing Strategic Environmental Assessment in the Global South, a Challenge: Nicaragua as a Case Study}}}, doi = {{10.13044/j.sdi.d2.0592}}, volume = {{1}}, year = {{2025}}, } @inproceedings{56357, author = {{Díaz Canales, Edith Benjamina and Avila , Alfredo and Schlüter, Sabine and Lacayo, Erick and Schlüter, Alexander}}, booktitle = {{19th Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems}}, location = {{Rome}}, publisher = {{ Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, Zagreb}}, title = {{{Implementing Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in the Global South, a challenge: Nicaragua as a case study.}}}, year = {{2024}}, } @article{58388, author = {{Austermeier, Laura and Brüning, Florian and Schöppner, Volker and Schlüter, Alexander}}, journal = {{Kunststoffland NRW Report}}, number = {{03/2024}}, pages = {{24--25}}, title = {{{Kunststoffrecycling im Lehrangebot der Universität Paderborn }}}, year = {{2024}}, } @article{52204, author = {{Genovese, Matteo and Schlüter, Alexander and Scionti, Eugenio and Piraino, Francesco and Corigliano, Orlando and Fragiacomo, Petronilla}}, issn = {{0360-3199}}, journal = {{International Journal of Hydrogen Energy}}, keywords = {{Hydrogen economy, Green hydrogen, Power-to-X, Hydrogen-to-X, Sector coupling}}, number = {{44}}, pages = {{16545--16568}}, publisher = {{Elsevier BV}}, title = {{{Power-to-hydrogen and hydrogen-to-X energy systems for the industry of the future in Europe}}}, doi = {{10.1016/j.ijhydene.2023.01.194}}, volume = {{48}}, year = {{2023}}, } @misc{52427, author = {{Schlüter, Alexander}}, publisher = {{Marcus Nettelbeck}}, title = {{{2050 - The Future Podcast, Folge The Energy Systems of the Future}}}, year = {{2023}}, } @inbook{52409, author = {{Scionti, Eugenio and Genovese, Matteo and Pellinger, Christoph and Fragiacomo, Petronilla and Schlüter, Alexander}}, booktitle = {{Sustainable and Smart Energy Systems for Europe´s Cities and Rural Areas}}, editor = {{Schlüter, Alexander and Bernabé-Moreno, Juan}}, publisher = {{Hanser-Verlag }}, title = {{{Using More Hydrogen and Green Fuels}}}, year = {{2022}}, } @book{52353, editor = {{Schlüter, Alexander and Bernabé-Moreno, Juan}}, isbn = {{978-3-446-47294-5}}, pages = {{384}}, publisher = {{Hanser}}, title = {{{Sustainable and Smart Energy Systems for Europe's Cities and Rural Areas}}}, doi = {{https://www.hanser-elibrary.com/doi/book/10.3139/9783446471757}}, year = {{2022}}, } @misc{52428, author = {{Schlüter, Alexander}}, publisher = {{Marcus Nettelbeck}}, title = {{{2050 - The Future Podcast, Folge Smarte Energien für die Zukunft}}}, year = {{2022}}, } @book{52571, editor = {{Schlüter, Alexander and Bernabé-Moreno, Juan}}, publisher = {{Carl Hanser GmbH & Co KG}}, title = {{{Das Energiesystem der Zukunft in Smart Cities und Smart Rural Areas}}}, year = {{2021}}, } @inbook{52376, author = {{Hechelmann, Ron-Hendrik and Schlosser, Florian and Meschede, Henning and Schlüter, Alexander}}, booktitle = {{Das Energiesystem der Zukunft in Smart Cities und Smart Rural Areas}}, editor = {{Schlüter, Alexander and Bernabé-Moreno, Juan}}, isbn = {{9783446468221}}, publisher = {{Carl Hanser Verlag GmbH & Co.
