The Institute for Low CO2 Industrial Processes focuses on the decarbonization of industry. To this end, it is developing new technologies to ensure the renewable provision of heat for industrial processes. This renewable high-temperature heat is to be provided for industrial processes above 150 degrees Celsius. Another topic area is the CO2 reduction of industrial processes that are difficult or impossible to convert to electric operation. This also includes converting coal-fired power plants into low carbon energy suppliers.
We are developing new technologies to provide renewable heat for industrial processes. This renewable high-temperature heat is to be provided for industrial processes above 150° C. Another topic is the CO2 reduction of industrial processes that are difficult or impossible to convert to electrical operation.
Our institute is divided into three departments:
What specialities are we looking for?
Mechanical engineering
Energy technology
Environmental engineering
Process engineering
Electrical engineering
Mechatronics
Computer science
Mathematics
Office management and administration
The department for high-temperature heat pumps develops prototypes of new types of high-temperature heat pumps that provide process heat and cooling for industry.
The Department of Simulation and Virtual Design is working on the conversion of fossil industrial processes to climate-neutral production, taking into account technological and economic aspects and thus contributing to risk reduction in companies.
The department for low-carbon reducing agents investigates new disruptive technologies for low-carbon energy sources in order to avoid CO2 in industries where electrification is not or only partially possible and therefore have to rely on technology change.
