Clausthaler Umwelttechnik-Institut GmbH (CUTEC)

CUTEC is an independent research institution owned by the Federal State of Lower Saxony in Germany. We operate at the interface between academic science and industrial product development in the field of environmental and energy technologies. Our main areas of interest nationally and internationally are, the development of practical and hands-on technologies and processes and their implementation coupled with practical training. Our focus is on application-oriented research with the core competences in recycling and solid waste management, energy and supply management as well as mobility management. Additionally the cluster sustainability management was established to review the technical developments/results in terms of economy und ecology. In current projects we work on topics like metal recycling, fuels from biomass, use of renewable energies, reformer systems for fuel cells, pollution control, sludge reduction and waste water treatment.
