Research Focus

Research interests and activities of the Working Group are as follow:

In the Industrial Ecology, among other works for material flow management - in particular the substance flow analysis of critical metals (with a focus on identifying and avoiding dissipative losses) for hazardous substance prevention or substitution, as well as opportunities and risks of new technologies' (such as nanotechnology and synthetic biology. ) performed.
In the implementation of life cycle assessments and material flow analysis with the software GaBi and Umberto. Since May 2011, the Department of Umberto Competence Center.
In the development of sustainability strategies in cooperation with companies, where the main focus is on a better understanding of innovation processes.
In the climate adaptation. The focus here is the resilient energy supply in the Metropolitan Region Bremen-Oldenburg.
In the development of methods for technology evaluation, particularly for prospective and in-process technology evaluation. One approach is here, for example the extension of the LCA method to entropy balances.
In the prospective and preventive-oriented technology design.

The activities of the department therefore include both basic research and application-oriented projects.

On the following pages you will find a list of

current research projects as well as the already
completed research projects.

Within project QUARREE100, a results brochure was published to provide information for residents of the Rüsdorfer Kamp neighborhood in Heide, Schleswig Holstein and interested parties.

Within project QUARREE100, a results brochure was published to provide information for residents of the Rüsdorfer Kamp neighborhood in Heide, Schleswig Holstein and interested parties. The document summarizes the project, the concepts and the results of the different work packages and makes them available to stakeholders. It serves as a supporting contribution to the final report of the project and complements the communication and cooperation with the residents of the neighborhood.

The Institute Raum & Energie designed and created the report. The content was provided by the project partners.
