Even in its early days, VTU almost exclusively completed projects for biofuel, wastewater treatment and recycling industrial waste. This trend continues parallel to the rapid development in life sciences – up to the current expertise in recycling and hydrogen.
What is more effective though is VTU’s role in transforming established chemical and petrochemical companies towards responsible sustainability: closing material cycles, energy efficiency, exhaust air/waste water, recycling by-products, CO2 reduction and much more are problems that are successfully solved in many companies. Through expert analysis, experience with proven methods, process know-how, the development of new technologies, and the intelligent use of digitalization, measurable improvements can be achieved in project implementation, for example in energy consumption, CO₂ emissions, wastewater streams, or the utilization of by-products.
But VTU goes one step further: With Green Engineering, the impact on the environment, safety and various sustainability aspects can be assessed, regardless of industry or project size. Through Sustainability Process Reviews as well as energy, CO₂ and material flow balances, a project can be transparently evaluated for optimization potential, and potential measures can be thoroughly assessed for implementation. This not only enables more sustainable and safer plants, but also provides transparency regarding their environmental performance.
VTU Group’s internal and operational processes are also continuously audited and improved. VTU has been assessed by EcoVadis and has published an annual CSR Report since 2020, based on the internationally recognized GRI Standards.
