Future Cleantech Architects

We are a climate innovation think tank and we exist to close the remaining innovation gaps to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. To reach this objective, we accelerate innovation in critical industries – such as cement, aviation or shipping – where sustainable solutions are still in very early stages.

We urge policy-makers to intensify and better prioritize their R&D activities. Moreover, we initiate and actively drive high-level research consortia on critical technologies for these neglected technological sectors.

We work on breakthrough cleantech, both in hardware and in processes: Our work ranges from fundamental research to process innovations which help to decarbonize emission-intensive industrial operations. Our vision: increase the success rate of breakthrough cleantech R&D.

  • Low-Carbon Basic Materials

    Basic materials such as steel, cement, chemicals and lime account for almost half of Germany’s industrial emissions. This poster sets out the options for decarbonizing their production. Five cross-cutting levers for industrial decarbonization are described: direct electrification, material circularity, energy efficiency, green hydrogen and PtX, and CCU/CCS. A case study then walks through the options…

  • Carbon Capture

    This two-page poster provides an overview of the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) value chain and its associated technologies. CO₂ can be captured from industrial point sources or directly from the air. Then, it can be used in industrial processes or permanently stored to prevent its release into the atmosphere. The poster compares three…

  • Hydrogen

    The potential contribution of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier to industrial decarbonization is outlined in this concise knowledge poster. It explains why hydrogen must be produced through dedicated processes and compares the main hydrogen production pathways through the commonly used color code. The poster then focuses on green hydrogen, presenting the main electrolysis technologies:…
