Laboratory for Sustainable Energy Carriers and Processes (LEP)

On the separation of valuable and/or toxic metal fractions from waste with the goal to increase the recycling rate by eco-efficient processes. Moreover, on the analytics of process gas streams and the synthesis of materials needed to reduce the carbon footprint of our society (Chemical Processes and Materials - CPM).

On the development of efficient conversion technologies for biomass to energy carriers with a focus on hydrothermal processes (Catalytic Process Engineering - CPE).

On heterogeneous catalysts for emission control and the production of energy carriers, with expertise in in situ/operando spectroscopy at lab scale as well as at large scale research facilities in order to understand the function of these materials under reaction conditions (Applied Catalysis and Spectroscopy - ACS).

On the flexible production of renewable methane, methanol and hydrogen from biogas, gasification derived producer gas and within Power-to-Gas applications (Thermochemical Processes group - TCP).
