Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGBIn so-called CCU processes (Carbon Capture and Utilization), carbon dioxide (CO2) is catalytically converted to C1 intermediates, ethene and higher hydrocarbons.
A focus of our services is on the screening of catalysts.
Furthermore, we develop catalysts for ammonia synthesis and heterogeneously catalyzed reactions in gas and liquid phases.
