Decarbonisation of industrial processes - New DLR institute in Cottbus and Zittau

Kurzfassung

recognized as one of the most difficult challenges for humankind. Despite agreed climate targets, global emissions of Greenhouse gases have actually increased over the last three decades. [1] Especially in the energy-intensive industrial sector, there is still great potential for CO2-reduction, which has not yet been exploited. The Institute of Low-Carbon Industrial Processes dedicates its research efforts to these savings. The present article sheds light on the most recent and upcoming research topics for reducing or eliminating fossil energy sources as well as process-related CO2-emissions caused by industrial production.
