About us

In a world that is increasingly facing the challenges of climate change and environmental pollution, a team of technical researchers has decided to make a significant contribution to sustainability. Their goal: the development of green zinc production.

This dedicated team of scientists and students is working to rethink traditional methods of zinc production and find innovative solutions that minimize environmental impact. By applying state-of-the-art technologies and integrating environmentally friendly processes, they strive to make zinc production more efficient and environmentally friendly.

Their research focuses on various aspects, from reducing energy consumption and CO2-emissions to minimizing waste and pollution. Their holistic approach encompasses both the optimization of existing production processes and the development of innovative processes based on renewable energies and using biodegradation processes.

Green Zinc is a Project within the COMET – Competence Centers for Excellent Technologies Programme and funded by BMK, BMAW, [co-financing provinces]. COMET is managed by FFG.
