New materials and processes
Supporting the green transition through chemical engineering know-how.
We support the green transition through chemical engineering know-how. The green transition requires strong expertise in raw materials and materials processing and analysis.
Chemical engineering processes, chemical and mechanical analyses of material flows, and the development of bio- and secondary materials will play a key role in the move towards carbon neutrality.
