Welcome to Energy Process Engineering!
Process engineering for the transition to a sustainable industry
At the intersection of chemistry, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and environmental engineering, we conduct research on new methods and processes to help industry transition to renewable raw materials, renewable energy, and a circular economy.
Our Research Profile
Catalysis, Fuel Substitution, and Recycling
"We are conducting research on new methods and processes to help industry transition to renewable raw materials, renewable energy, and a circular economy."
What does that mean?
In our research group, we are conducting research on the development of catalysts and processes for the sustainable development of the chemical industry and the energy sector.
In this context, we are examining
- the conversion of biogenic raw materials
- into value-added products and
- as substitutes for petroleum and natural gas,
- the chemical recycling of plastics,
- dynamic process control,
as well as
- the direct use of renewable energy for chemical reactions.
