Module Title:Decarbonization of Industrial Processes
  Dekarbonisierung von Industrieprozessen
Department: Faculty 3 - Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Energy Systems
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Riedel, Uwe
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:Participants of the module will be able to understand the specific challenges of CO2-reduction in the industrial sectors. Readiness of current and emerging technologies (technology readiness level) and significance for a successful energy transition for various industrial sectors will be discussed. Focus is on the decarbonization of heat as a crosscutting technology and the steel, chemistry, cement sector – each having specific challenges. At the end of the module the students will be able to name the requirements for achieving climate goals in various industrial sectors. Furthermore, students will be able to assess, evaluate, and select different decarbonization strategies for specific industrial processes. Specific cognitive learning goals are:
  • Apply analysis tools like pinch analysis, techno-economics, and energy-hub designs
  • Analyze selected industrial processes in case studies
  • Derive and evaluate suitable decarbonization options in a group-project
  • Get insights into options for process changes and decarbonization in the sectors steel, chemistry, and cement as well as process heat
  • Understand the role of Carbon Capture and Use (CCU) and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) for unavoidable CO2-emissions.
Affective learning goals are:
  • Integration in a team and potential conflicts,
  • deal with feedback in an open presentation session,
  • deal with potential frustration in a research project.
Contents:The specific topics will be explained in the lecture while the exercise and the project parts will provide more in-depth deeper qualitative and quantitative analyses. The projects will focus on specific industries and their options to reduce their carbon footprint.
The lecture part is structured as follows:
  • Introduction
  • Techno-Economic Analysis
  • Pinch Analysis
  • Renewable Energy Hub Design
  • Industrial Heat
  • Steel Industry
  • Chemical Industry
  • Cement Industry
These lectures are supported by exercises on techno-economic analysis, Pinch Analysis, energy hub design and CCU/CCS. The decarbonization techniques learned will then be applied as part of a study project.
