BMWK funding
Research projects in the product area are usually realized within the framework of Industrial Collective Research (IGF) and funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection. The results are available to all interested companies.
In 2022, the DGMK's Processing and Application department received funding of over EUR 1.3 million from the BMWK as part of the IGF competition procedure.
In the downstream area, we coordinate around 30 research projects per year. In joint research, we link refineries, pipeline operators, petrochemical companies, manufacturers of vehicle engines, drive technology, heating technology, suppliers, process technology, tools and development service providers with the research institutions.
The topics for the project work arise from the day-to-day business of the member companies and from the dialogue between industry and science. Project ideas are welcome. Please contact us! The decision on the implementation of projects is the responsibility of the relevant technical committee.
