The foremost objectives of sustainable development are to reduce environmental pollution and to protect fossil resources. These objectives can be achieved by using renewable raw materials.
The sub-disciplines of production technology are becoming more and more interlinked. The call for integrated technologies and processes that solve not just one but various tasks at the same time is being voiced both for technical and economic reasons.
The discussion with respect to reducing CO2 emissions and limited fossil raw material sources has triggered and intensified the search for economical ways of producing fuels from renewable resources and from bio-based residues.
Plastics and biomaterials can be customized in a multitude of ways. By equipping them with intelligent additives and particle systems, multiple functions can be implemented.
The knowledge available worldwide doubles every five years. Intelligent, target-group-specific information management aids in promptly separating valuable from unnecessary information and occupies a central role in today's production value adding chains.
Population growth and the growth of the economy, increasing prosperity and global competition result in energy and resources becoming scarcer and more expensive. In the future, it will be necessary to utilize fuels more efficiently and to use regenerative energies.
Our objective is the development of new technologies to increase energy efficiency and their integration into existing energy systems.
Resources find their way into products and services which we need to live, which increase our quality of life and which form the foundation for the future.
