Resource Efficiency and Climate Technologies

The world’s natural resources are limited. Yet they are being consumed at ever faster rates by a growing global population. This leads to increasing competition and rising prices, especially for resources such as oil, cobalt and rare earths. At the same time, the extraction of natural resources causes environmental damage such as the release of greenhouse gases, pollution of our air, water and soil, and a decline in biodiversity.


We conduct research into:
 

Renewable energies and sector coupling
Sustainable production (biological transformation)
Circular economy
