Research Infrastructure
Current Sites
The Green Roof Research Facility at the UFZ in Germany is dedicated to the study of green roofs as blue-green infrastructure. Through their ability to absorb and store water, green roofs contribute to the cooling of urban environments and support effective rainwater management. Additionally, they provide habitats for diverse plant and animal species and serve as sinks for CO2 and particulate matter.
The biotechnology centre has modern bioreactor technology for cultivating microorganisms and enables environmentally friendly processes to be scaled up to practical standards. The development of white biotechnology bioprocesses is supported right through to application in industry and the environment and is a building block for the future sustainable circular economy.
Former Sites
