Only 16 per cent of the more than 250 million tons of plastic we use every year globally is recycled. If, however, we could recycle more plastic and at the same time get...
All stages of plastics use, from processing to initial product and after-life will need to be taken into account for design of tomorrow’s plastic materials and to...
Sprung from DTU Chemical Engineering, start-up company AquaGreen sees sludge from waste water treatment as a resource rather than an environmental problem.
Lowering CO2 emissions is no longer considered enough to preserve the Earth’s climate. We also need to actively capture CO2.
Improving the sustainability of coatings able to dampen the destructive consequences of a fire is an example of the highly interdisciplinary coatings research at DTU Chemical...
The project is looking into new technological ways of reproducing new high quality plastics from non-recyclable plastic waste.
Burak Ulusoy explains his research on ‘NOx formation and reduction in fluidized bed combustion of biomass’ and why he chose to do a PhD at DTU Chemical Engineering...
Researchers will develop a mobile plant that can capture CO2 before it is released into the atmosphere. The unwanted greenhouse gas will instead be exploited for new products
PET can be degraded by microwaves and chemistry, so the components of the plastic can be recycled into new PET products.
Upgrading of biogas into methane mainly implies removal of CO2 from the biogas. A project at DTU Chemical Engineering strives to make use of this CO2.
In a world of scarce resources, bio-based polymers have entered the scene, offering interesting new functionalities.
Company to supply catalytic converters for reducing car pollution. Research collaboration is part of the equation.
The UN uses simplified emission factors to estimate laughing gas emissions from wastewater treatment plants. Now, DTU researchers will optimize models for better understanding...
DTU, in collaboration with FLSmidth and ROCKWOOL, will develop sustainable process technologies that will increase the use of renewable fuels and raw materials and reduce...
In a large-scale project, researchers will reproduce PET packaging using sustainable microwave technology.
DTU start-up utilizes sludge from fish farming and wastewater to produce heat and fertilizer.
The following are merely examples of some of DTU's research in life science.
Around the world, chemical engineers are working on new technologies to help reduce CO2 emissions. So-called geo-engineering is one way to go, but more needs to be done...
Job creation and environmental salvation: The Novel Microbes project is showing a way towards a more sustainable bio-production. The key? Finding new enzymes to improve...
What if an unexploited natural resource, ready to be turned into sustainable fuels, existed inside all plant material? Postdoc Joachim Bachmann Nielsen's research suggests...
