Our objective
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 conversion of industry to
renewable raw materials, renewable energies and the circular economy.
Jun. prof. Dr. rer. nat.
Our research profile
Catalytics, fuel substitution & recycling
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 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.
