Strategic Partnership between TU Bergakademie Freiberg (IEC) and University of North Dakota (EERC)
The Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg has established a strategic partnership with the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) at the University of North Dakota.
“Freiberg is one of the premier institutions in the world focused on energy and environmental research and has several similarities to the EERC, which complement our skill sets,” said EERC Director Gerald Groenewold. “We are very interested in continuing to foster an honest working collaboration with Freiberg to further demonstrate and commercialize advanced power systems around the globe.”
“It is the EERC’s similar culture which makes a partnership so intriguing, and together, we hope to make large strides forward to develop technologies that are essential for our economy and our society,” Prof. Meyer, Professor at the Institute for Energy Process Engineering and Chemical Engineering and Current Director of the University, said.
“Gasification and gas treatment are the key processes for near-zero emission power plants on the basis of IGCC technology as well as for the syntheses for liquid chemicals and transportation fuels from coal, natural gas, or biomass,” said Carsten Heide, EERC Associate Director for Intellectual Property Management and Technology Commercialization. “These common elements provide the possibility to use synergy effects for the benefit of both technology routes and their development.”
