Together with the company oxytec AG, UMTEC is developing a new type of plasma technology for the sustainable and cost-efficient treatment of polluted industrial exhaust air. The project is funded by the Federal Office for the Environment's environmental technology programme.
Getting around - on foot, by bike or by car - our mobility is closely linked to modern infrastructure, e.g. paths and roads. At UMTEC, in collaboration with our industrial partner, we are developing a new process to make asphalt production sites sustainable and future-proof in terms of exhaust air purification.
Scientific expertise meets industrial practice. As part of a research project, oxytec AG has entered into a strategic partnership with UMTEC. The ultimate goal is to develop more efficient and sustainable all-electric exhaust air solutions and establish them on the market.
Our research team is pursuing the approach of directly reusing CO2 emissions from energy-hungry industries, such as the cement industry, to generate energy. This saves money and causes fewer climate-damaging emissions. To this end, a new type of plasma reactor has been developed that uses waste gases as a recycled fuel and generates energy from them.
