Fraunhofer IMM

The Fraunhofer Institute for Microengineering and Microsystems IMM is part of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft e.V. - the world’s leading applied research organization. We are engaged in research and development in the three divisions of Chemistry, Energy and Diagnostics. Our scientists perform the transfer from the scientific idea towards innovation. Our laboratory and pilot scale system solutions can straightly and consistently be transformed into production scale.

In the Division ENERGY we are concerned with the mobile and decentralized provision and storage of electrical energy with a view to sustainable energy sources. We build on the use of our proven microstructured plate heat exchangers, a portfolio of highly active, long-term stable and robust catalysts, and established manufacturing technologies.

Our development work covers the entire technology chain from system design, process simulation, catalyst development, stand-time testing, reactor design, development of cost-effective manufacturing technologies, system control, system integration to system testing.
