The Professorship for Energy Process Engineering (EVT) researches, develops and optimises new processes for the energy and raw materials transition. The focus here is on creating closed carbon cycles using renewable energies. In particular, this includes the chemical recycling of residual materials (especially plastics), the production of synthetic raw materials and fuels (e.g. e-fuels) and the thermochemical production of hydrogen (e.g. from biogenic waste). The aim is the fundamental development of technologies up to an industrial scale at the interface between plant engineering, the energy industry, waste management, the chemical industry and metallurgy.
Mission
The education and R&D profile of the Professorship of Energy Process Engineering (EVT) focus on the electrification of circular carbon and hydrogen technologies via the e-CH2T-Concept:
e- Integration of electricity via plasma discharge, conduction, induction, radiation or generation of auxiliary substances (e.g. O2, H2) in chemical reactions
C Closing of the carbon cycle through chemical recycling, utilization of biogenic waste and the development of CO2 sources (e.g. for e-Fuels or e-Chemicals)
H2 Production of hydrogen on the basis of biogenic waste, pyrolytic splitting of hydrocarbons and reforming/partial oxidation with integrated CO2 management
T Development of technologies – building on classic thermochemical conversion processes (i.e. gasification and pyrolysis) and supported with life-cycle and techno-economic assessments – for industrial applications
