Institute of Energy Process Engineering and Chemical Engineering

Chair of Energy Process Engineering (EVT)

The R&D activities of the Chair Energy Process Engineering (EVT) are focused on the efficient and sustainable use of primary and secondary carbon resources such as coal, oil, natural gas, biomass and wastes/residues. The objective is the development and optimization of innovative and new technologies for the sustainable chemical conversion and utilization of carbon resources. The goal is to close the carbon cycle and to include all carbon resources in a circular carbon economy.
