Federal funding for industry and climate protection promotes decarbonisation
Companies have until 30 November 2024 to submit projects under the new “Federal Funding for Industry and Climate Protection (BIK)” funding guideline. Two funding modules are available: Funding for decarbonisation projects and funding for CCU and CCS.
Launch of the “CCU model regions NRW” funding competition
Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) technology offers a promising opportunity to reduce unavoidable CO₂ quantities. This involves not only capturing carbon dioxide, but also reusing it as a valuable raw material in industry.
Effects of the Battery Ordinance on mechanical and plant engineering
The EU Battery Regulation aims to minimize the negative environmental impact of batteries. This has far-reaching consequences for the mechanical and plant engineering industry.
Call for funding: Produktives.NRW – Critical technologies for NRW
The “Produktives.NRW” competition call supports investments in critical technologies in the areas of digital innovations, environmentally friendly and resource-efficient technologies and biotechnology in NRW. Industry in Europe and North Rhine-Westphalia is facing major challenges, particularly due to necessary economic adjustments in value chains and energy supply. At the same time, new opportunities are emerging to… Read More »Call for funding: Produktives.NRW – Critical technologies for NRW
Opportunities of the circular economy for mechanical and plant engineering
The circular economy is one of the key areas of transformation with opportunities as an enabler for mechanical and plant engineering. The kick-off event presented selected business models.
EU Packaging Regulation: Consequences for mechanical and plant engineering
The aim of the European regulation is to minimize the negative impact of packaging on the environment – with a high impact on the mechanical and plant engineering industry.
