Biotechnological production and electrochemical downstream processing of fumaric acid

A building block for achieving a climate-neutral economy is the increased use of renewable instead of fossil raw materials. Biotechnological processes, such as the biotechnological production of fumaric acid, play a key role here.

Determine emissions from open stables

Freely ventilated open stalls are good for animal welfare: they offer natural light, fresh air and exercise as needed for pigs, cattle and co. But how high are the greenhouse gas emissions actually caused by this type of animal husbandry? The EmiMod project will provide the data basis for this.

Soil water dynamics of forestry used skid trails - identification and prognosis of critical conditions

Forest soils under pressure: In addition to the influences of progressive climate change, humans have an impact on the forest ecosystem and its soil during mechanized timber harvest. How can soil damage caused by wheeling be minimized through weather-adapted use of skid trails?

Fertilizer concentrates from residuals (DüaR)

Development and testing of an innovative and environmetally sound manure and digestate processing for the production of a solid humus product with phosphorus enrichment and simultaneous nitrogen separation in a transportable form as a liquid fertilizer.
