Hillary Onyebuchi Onyishi from the Advanced Carbon Conversion Technologies department at the Fraunhofer UMSICHT institute branch in Sulzbach-Rosenberg wrote his doctoral thesis on the topic of »Investigation of factors influencing the yields and qualities of the products from the thermo-catalytic reforming process« successfully defended at the Ruhr University Bochum. The research for this took place at the Fraunhofer UMSICHT Sulzbach-Rosenberg branch.

The SEAFAIRER project's objective is to demonstrate technology for producing renewable marine biofuels, aiming to reduce GHG emissions in the shipping industry. The project is funded by a 10 million euro budget, co-financed by the Horizon Europe program.

The EU-funded FERTIMANURE project aimed to develop, test, and validate advanced nutrient management strategies to produce competitive fertilizers that contribute to high yields. The primary goal was to recycle valuable nutrients from livestock manure and produce bio-based fertilizers.

We would like to thank you for the good cooperation over the past year and for the trust you have placed in us.

Together with project partner Endress Holzfeuerungsanlagen, Fraunhofer researchers have developed a new type of firing technology that can reduce NOx emissions by up to 80 percent. This means that future limit values can also be reliably complied with.

For the first time, a comprehensive nationwide waste strategy has been developed in a country in the Gulf region. The project was commissioned by the Environment Public Authority (EPA) of Kuwait. Over a period of five years, the German Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental-, Safety-, and Energy Technology (UMSICHT) and its partners analysed the waste generation and management as well as the 20 major landfill sites in Kuwait. The data was used to develop the Kuwait National Waste Management Strategy 2040 (KNWMS). It sets out the implementation plan for the next 20 years.
