A fresh look at process technology
Process technology plays an important role in our society. In the pro6blogs we write about themes related to this. How do we make plants safer? How do we ensure that processes use as little energy as possible and produce as many products as possible? What technological developments are there? What is the role of process technology in the energy transition or in other major social changes? Our aim is to make the sometimes complex subject matter as comprehensible as possible.
