Sustainability

We are confident: The future of production must be sustainable and CO2-neutral.
The researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Casting, Composite and Processing Technology IGCV in Augsburg/Garching are working on this vision every day.

Offshore wind turbines play a key role in the transition to renewable energies and contribute to reducing the dependence on fossil fuels.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Large Structures in Production Engineering IGP in Rostock is pursuing ambitious goals in their planning, maintenance and decommissioning.

Sustainability is a central success factor to a climate-friendly and resource-saving future of the industry.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films IST in Braunschweig develops tools and instruments for measuring sustainability performance.
In the context of life cycle engineering they take into account the entire product life cycle - from raw material to recycling. With their customers and partners they are shaping a path to climate neutrality.

Batteries are the foundation for a sustainable energy supply: Without them, neither the transportation nor the energy transition can be implemented effectively. In addition to great potential, however, the technology poses a number of challenges in terms of sustainability.

The Fraunhofer Research Institution for Battery Cell Production FFB in Münster supports the young European battery industry in overcoming these challenges by taking a holistic view of all influencing factors that go into the battery product and researching environmentally friendly innovations.
