Fraunhofer UMSICHT Institute Branch Sulzbach-Rosenberg

Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety, and Energy Technology UMSICHT

Institute branch Sulzbach-Rosenberg

The Sulzbach-Rosenberg branch of the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology Fraunhofer UMSICHT develops process engineering solutions in the field of carbon conversion (next-generation biofuels, recycling technologies for plastics and composite materials, biochar), low-emission combustion systems as well as the provision and storage of process heat. It also has expertise in waste and resource strategies and life cycle assessment (LCA).

With a focus on process engineering and plant construction, it supports clients from the project idea through pilot plants and demonstrators to market launch. The Center for Energy Storage at the institute's branch focuses on integrated, decentralized energy conversion and energy storage systems.
