DFG Funds Research on Sustainable Chemical Production

The transition from petroleum-based production to bio-based raw materials and renewable energy sources constitutes one of the key challenges facing the chemical industry. In the future, doctoral students at TU Dortmund University will make their own contribution to the development and exploration of innovative and tolerant processes that can meet this challenge. To this end, the German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved the setting up of the Research Training Group “TALENT” (RTG 3199) at the Department of Biochemical and Chemical Engineering, which it will initially fund for five years from fall 2026 onwards with a total of around €7 million.
