The Association for the Promotion of Scientific-Technical Cooperation in the Raw Materials Sector (WTZ e.V.) networks national and international players from science and industry and provides impetus for the further development of climate-neutral energy systems, circular economy value chains and the avoidance of climate-damaging emissions. In this way, it supports the ongoing transformation of the energy and raw materials industry toward sustainable and climate-friendly value chains. The association provides a platform for new technological developments and identifies research needs that can contribute to a sustainable and resource-conserving transformation of the economy in the future.
