Cooperation with Japan
Possible cooperation aspects:
- Scale-up of chemical processes. Reactions and separtions.
- Production of biobased carbon materials (N-doped or low ash content for example)
- Use of recycled phosphate-
- Proteins or other substance from grass or glover etc.

The department, led by Prof. Dr. Andrea Kruse, focuses on the transformation of renewable resources into high-value products and energy carriers. Their activities can be summarized into three main pillars:
Hydrothermal Processes: A primary focus is Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) and liquefaction. These processes use water under high pressure and temperature to convert wet biomass into "hydrochar" (a coal-like material) or platform chemicals.
Biobased Materials and Chemicals: The department researches the production of sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based products. A key success is the development of HMF (Hydroxymethylfurfural) from fructose, which serves as a precursor for bio-plastics (like PEF) or carbon materials for battery technology.
Circular Bioeconomy: The goal is to establish closed-loop systems. This includes the recovery of nutrients (like phosphorus) from waste streams and the cascading use of biomass to maximize efficiency and minimize waste.
