Emissions as a resource: How innovative sulfur technology is making industrial processes more sustainable
With the implementation of a new Sulfur Oxidation Plant (SOP), P&P Industries AG Sulfuric Acid Technology, in collaboration with Futamura UK, is taking an important step toward climate-friendly industrial processes. The goal of the project is not only to reduce emissions from cellulose production but also to consistently utilize them as a resource. The developed […]
Green Hydrogen without Forever Chemicals and Iridium
Green hydrogen is considered an indispensable component of the global energy transition, but its production still faces massive economic and environmental hurdles. For example, the promising PEM (proton exchange membrane) electrolysis process, which is particularly suitable for producing green hydrogen when the supply of electricity from wind power and photovoltaic systems fluctuates, is still very […]
Novel process to transform the recycling of steelmaking dusts
A European consortium led by Technical University of Leoben is presenting a novel process within the Horizon Europe project Dust2Value that has the potential to fundamentally transform the recycling of steelmaking dusts. The project aims to recover the valuable raw materials zinc and iron in a climate-friendly way, thereby making a significant contribution to the […]
New CD-Laboratory Opens at Technical University of Leoben
Green Steel as the Key to Industrial Transformation The steel industry is undergoing a profound transformation toward low-emission production routes. Key drivers include a precise understanding of and model-based control over complex phenomena in high-temperature processes—ranging from fluid flows and electromagnetic effects to heat and mass transfer and chemical reactions. These phenomena are crucial in […]
Startup Fiber Elements Secures €2.6 Million in Private Investment
The sustainable start-ups of the incubator (ZAT Leoben) run by the Montanuniversität Leoben and the City of Leoben once again demonstrate the innovative potential of the Upper Styria region. In 2025, five ambitious start-ups and spin-offs that were supported and mentored by ZAT attracted more than €4.8 million in funding and investment for their projects […]
Battery cell mass formation line for electric cars supplied by ANDRITZ goes into operation
Since the beginning of the year the battery cells have been produced for a renowned German OEM. The value of the order will not be disclosed. ANDRITZ Schuler delivered a 1.5-gigawatt battery cell mass formation line for innovative cylindrical booster cells, which enable particularly fast and energy-efficient charging and discharging cycles and are therefore suitable as […]
