Welcome to energy process engineering!
Process engineering for the transition to a sustainable industry
At the interface of chemistry, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering and environmental technology, we are researching new methods and processes for the transition of industry to renewable raw materials, renewable energies and a circular economy.
Our research profile
Catalytics, fuel substitution & recycling
"We are researching new methods and processes to convert the industry to renewable raw materials, renewable energies and a circular economy."
What does that mean?
In the working group, we are researching the development of catalysts and processes for the sustainable development of the chemical industry and the energy sector.
Here we consider
- the conversion of biogenic raw materials
- into valuable products or
- as a substitute for crude oil and natural gas,
- the chemical recycling of plastics
- dynamic process control
and
- the direct use of renewable energies for chemical conversions.
