Projects - Fraunhofer UMSICHT

The best reference for our work are the projects we work on and those that we have already completed. This is why we draw up a project list which we update regularly. This is our way of showing how we use our competencies in projects. This is your opportunity to assess whether we are a good fit for you, your questions and your research tasks. You can search the project list using our competencies.

Many of our references are confidential and can thus not be displayed here.
If you cannot find any reference fitting your specific task, just contact our departments directly.

CO₂-Syn: Utilizing CO₂ emissions from the cement industry as a raw material

© Fraunhofer UMSICHT/Mike Henning

CO2 emissions from the cement industry via "Carbon Capture and Utilization" (CCU) and use them as raw materials – for example for the production of basic chemicals such as olefins and higher alcohols. With this aim, the joint project "CO2-Syn – Material CO2 utilization from cement plant process gases with coupled electrochemical and thermally catalyzed processes" was launched at the beginning of 2022.
