Project Landfill Mining – Rückbau von Klärschlammablagerungen

Runtime 10/2014 – 11/2015

Will man Phosphor zurückgewinnen, haben Klärschlämme eine große Bedeutung. Wie in einem Forschungsprojekt gezeigt werden konnte, gibt es ökologisch sinnvolle und ökonomisch tragfähige Lösungen, diesen

Project D-FACTORY: The Micro-Algae Biorefinery

Runtime 12/2013 – 11/2017

Background The research project "The Micro-Algae Biorefinery ( D-FACTORY )" aims to develop a concept for a microalgae biorefinery designed for the sustainable production of Dunaliella algae and its p

Project PUFAChain

Runtime 11/2013 – 10/2017

Background The research project "The Value Chain from Microalgae to PUFA" (PUFAChain) aims at creating a sound scientific and technological basis for the industrial production of high-value products f

Project Discussion of the environmental limits of primary raw material extraction and development of a method for assessing the environmental availability of raw materials to further develop the criticality concept

Runtime 08/2013 – 04/2017

The ecological availability of raw materials focuses on the environmental impacts of raw material extraction and the associated supply risks and thus addresses the question of possible ecological limi

Project SUPRABIO

Runtime 02/2010 – 08/2014

The SUPRABIO project investigated, developed and demonstrated a toolkit of novel generic processes that can be applied to a range of biorefinery concepts. These biorefinery concepts include a biochemi

Project BIOLYFE

Runtime 01/2010 – 12/2013

The EU funded FP 7 BIOLYFE project investigated the production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic feedstocks. It improved critical process steps and demonstrated the whole supply chain, from feedstock

Project Oil and gas production model

The model for the characterisation of upstream supply chains for crude oil and natural gas is primarily based on data available from the Ecoinvent 3 Database. These data are periodically updated both

Project Iron and steel production model

A detailed model of an integrated steel production plant (including sintering and cokery) was developed at ifeu in recent years. In addition to the actual steelworks, it include upstream chain process
