Small, clean, efficient and affordable

DBFZ scientists develop mini cookstove for Africa

Deforestation in African regions and many other parts of the world is increasing rapidly. Against this background, a cookstove was developed for special requirements in Togo as part of the "LabTogo" project funded by the BMBF- The DBFZ's new development not only requires significantly less fuel than traditional stoves, but also has lower emissions during operation.

11.10.2023, Excursion starting in Mausitz, via Schkopau, to Leipzig

Showcase „Hemp to composite materials“

The National Network "Bioeconomy in Practice", a platform for the engagement of key players in the German bioeconomy, invites to a showcase "Hemp to composite materials" in Mausitz (near Zwenkau / Leipzig) on 11 October 2023 to present the company FUSE, which produces sustainable composite products from hemp fibres and has the potential to replace synthetic glass and carbon fibres in these products. The company has already received several awards for its innovative products. During an excursion that starts in Mausitz and goes from there to Schkopau and Leipzig, participants can get to know the entire production chain of FUSE products: starting from a regional hemp cultivation area to see the roasting processes and visit harvesting and processing machines, all the way to the final composite product, the innovative and sustainable value-added process will be presented. The event is free of charge and English-speaking ...
