Think Tank to Make Technologies Fit for the Future
Think Tank of the State, Industry, and KIT Develops Cross-disciplinary Concepts for the Efficient Use of Resources in Germany as a High-tech Location.
The growing world population’s demand for energy and raw materials will increase in the future. Moreover, increasing mechanization will result in growing consumption of resources, examples being lithium for batteries or rare earths for catalytic converters and electric motors. Meeting these demands in a sustainable, reliable, and economically efficient manner is one of the big challenges for high-tech locations like Germany. The think tank “Industrial Resource Strategies“ of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology is to develop solution concepts.
