ReInvent – Reduction of greenhouse gases

Background

  • Target according to the German government’s climate protection plan: Germany to achieve greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045
  • Industry generates around 20 % of greenhouse gas emissions in Germany.
  • sectors of the basic industry, such as
    • Steel and iron production
    • Non-ferrous Industry
    • Chemical Industry
    • Cement Industry
    • Glas Industry
    • Ceramic Industry
    • Refractory Industry
  • emit process-related greenhouse gas emissions on a large scale.
  • KlimPro – BMBF funding initiative for application-oriented R&D and implementation of Carbon Direct Avoidance (CDA) in processes in basic industries to significantly reduce CO2-emissions.

Project objectives

  • Networking of the projects with each other and with their industrial partners and sector.
  • Exploit synergies of technologies and processes of the branches in the project.
  • Analysis of greenhouse gas savings potentials through the KlimPro-projects.
  • Site analysis of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions in the basic materials industry.
  • Transfer support for the implementation of the developed technologies in the plants’ processes.
  • Public relations to reinforce effectiveness of the funding measure and disseminate project results.

Innovative approaches

  • Cross-project potential analysis of processes and developments in the basic materials industry to determine the greenhouse gas savings potentials in the projects and in the sectors.
  • Highlighting transformation pathways in the industries and their analogies and synergies to avoid greenhouse gases, in order to identify, drive and implement new approaches from them.
  • Site analysis using a GIS analysis to determine energy needs, supply options with alternative energy sources, and emissions reductions achievable through projects.

Potential benefits for industry

  • Information flow to potential plants and companies that can benefit from results, insights and synergies across branches/industries through targeted outreach and involvement of industry experts to identify and address potentials and issues.

Funded by: Research contract with DECHEMA e.V. within the framework ReInvnt-project funding by Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, project executing agency: DLR Projektträger Umwelt und Nachhaltigkeit.
