The IIP congratulates Max Kleinebrahm on participating in the finals of the renowned GEE Prize for the best dissertation at the Energieforum Berlin. His work "Future Residential Energy System Design" impressed a jury of 17 professors and made significant contributions to sustainable energy research in the building sector.
The official kick-off event for the BiocyclesRN project took place on February 4, 2025. The aim of the MLR-funded project is to promote a sustainable circular bioeconomy in the Rhine-Neckar region through innovative concepts for the use of biomass side streams.
Christiane Ram, Anna Schmidt and Elisa Mohl from the City of Mannheim took part, while the Sustainable Value Chains research group was represented by Andreas Rudi and Raphael Heck. The central questions of the project were discussed together and the first steps towards implementation were developed.
BiocyclesRN brings together science, business and local authorities to develop sustainable bioeconomic value chains and use regional material flows more efficiently.
We look forward to the collaboration and exciting results!
