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

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
