Fraunhofer FEP Launches RESET Research Center for Energy-Efficient Tech
Fraunhofer Institute for Electron Beam and Plasma Technology (FEP) has launched a new research center, RESET, in Dresden. The inauguration, attended by prominent figures from politics and industry, signals the start of innovative work in energy-efficient technologies.
RESET, standing for RESsourcen-schonende Energie-Technologien, focuses on several research areas. It explores electron beam technologies, biomedical applications, and green hydrogen. The center aims to set new standards with state-of-the-art facilities for sputtering epitaxy, biomedical research, and electron beam technologies.
The new campus boasts energy-efficient design features. These include groundwater cooling, adiabatic exhaust air humidification, and a photovoltaic (PV) system for electricity generation. This commitment to sustainability reflects RESET's mission to conserve resources.
Research at RESET is diverse. It includes metal recovery through biomineralization and the development of magnetrons and process technologies for thin-layer deposition on 200-mm silicon wafers. The center's work on hydrogen generation, storage, and processing is also notable.
RESET, inaugurated by high-ranking guests, begins its work in Dresden. With a focus on innovation, sustainability, and resource conservation, the research center promises significant contributions to energy-efficient technologies.
