Recycling ' Sustainable Resource Use

Hydrogen production

In addition to the development and optimization of electrolysers, the BMBF promotes the material recycling of used electrolysers in the sense of a holistic view. These contain valuable platinum group metals, various nickel, titanium and iron alloys, which the EU has categorized as critical materials. The Institute for Metallurgical Process Engineering and Metal Recycling at RWTH works in the ReNaRe (Recycling Sustainable Resource Use) network coordinated by the TU Bergakademie Freiberg with twelve partners in the resource-saving recovery of metal. In addition, the RWTH Institute supports the network partners through metallurgical consultation and analytical process evaluation to enable a holistic, ecological and economic assessment of metal recycling.
