Martin Kaltschmitt (born April 18, 1961) is a German engineer and professor at Technical University of Hamburg. He is head of the Institute for Environmental technology and Energy industry (Institut für Umwelttechnik und Energiewirtschaft) at Technical University of Hamburg.
Life
After having studied drilling engineering at Clausthal University of Technology from 1981 till 1986, Kaltschmitt obtained his PhDs at Stuttgart University in 1990, researching possibilities and limits of wind power and solar energy generation in Baden-Württemberg. In 1997 he successfully wrote a habilitation work about renewable energy use in Germany. After that he was assigned with King's College London, and University of California, Berkeley.[1] From 2001 till 2008 he was director of "Institut für Energetik und Umwelt", Leipzig. In 2006 he became head of the Institut für Umwelttechnik und Energiewirtschaft at Technical University of Hamburg.
From 2008 to 2010 he was scientific director of the German Biomass Research Center, Leipzig.[2] He is member of the Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Hamburg.[3] In 2008 he was awarded the Medal of Honor of German Engineers Association Verein Deutscher Ingenieure.[4]
Together with Hermann Hofbauer Kaltschmitt is editor-in-chief of the scientific journal Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery, edited by Springer.[5]
