Welcome to IMVT!

The Institute for Micro Process Engineering (IMVT) is one of the leading academic research institutions in the field of micro process engineering worldwide. An international team of 70 employees specialized in various disciplines focuses on the construction and fabrication of microstructured devices, on fundamental studies of transport processes and chemical reactions in microstructures, and on the use of prototypes in selected thermal and chemical processes. Apart from research projects financed from basic funds under the Helmholtz programmes, projects funded by third parties are being executed in cooperation with industry and academic research institutions in Germany and abroad.

The IMVT was founded in July 2001 with the objective of enhancing the use of novel microstructures in modern process engineering. Foundation of IMVT had been preceded by innovative studies relating to the fabrication of metal microstructured devices and their use in process engineering at the former Central Experimentation Department and before at the Institute for Nuclear Process Technology of Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe. IMVT and its precursor department had been headed by Dr. Klaus Schubert since the late eighties.

EU plans for the capture, storage and use of CO2

The science media center SMC asked experts for their opinion on this topic.
Prof. Roland Dittmeyer from the IMVT also had his say and shared his opinion:


- on the necessary scale of emissions stored or used


-on the financing of CCS and CCU


-on the storage potentials


-on the shares of CCS in power plants and industry, BECCS and DACCS

BR2 Podcast IQ Science and Research

In the BR2 podcast IQ Science and Research, Prof. Roland Dittmeyer talks to journalist Jenny von Sperber about technical processes for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
The aim is either to store the carbon dioxide underground in order to achieve so-called "net negative" greenhouse gas emissions or to use the carbon dioxide as a carbon source for chemical base materials and fuels for applications that are difficult to electrify, which then at least does not add any "new" fossil carbon dioxide to the atmosphere ("net zero" greenhouse gas emissions).

Status colloquium of the DFG Priority Program 2080

The third status colloquium of the DFG Priority Program 2080 "Catalysts and reactors under dynamic conditions for energy storage and conversion" took place in Berlin on 29 and 30 January 2024. The scientists from the 12 project consortia discussed their results in presentations and posters from the individual projects. The best posters were awarded - Timo Engl from our CAT group won the second prize, tied with our project partners from FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg, for his poster on spatially and temporally resolved operando investigations of methanation catalysts under transient conditions - congratulations!

Flying without the greenhouse gas effect - is it possible? The expert lecture

In a dialog with Jörg Moll from energiewende tv, Prof. Dittmeyer explains the greenhouse gas effect of aviation and discusses which options exist to reduce the associated greenhouse gas emissions. Avoiding flying, electric flying, flying with hydrogen and flying with the sustainable aviation fuel SAF are discussed and the research and development for the production of SAF from carbon dioxide and hydrogen is summarized. Everything is illustrated with appealing tables and graphics. Don't miss this interesting article!

Climate-neutral Memmingen Airport - The background report

In the background report on climate-neutral flying by energiewende tv, our doctoral students Philipp Rentschler and Dorela Dhamo go into more detail on their respective research topics in the field of sustainable aviation fuels, including the BMBF project H2Mare / PtX-Wind, and show the experimental possibilities available at the Institute and in the Energy Lab at KIT.

Climate-neutral flying - The energy transition report

Memmingen Airport wants to become climate-neutral by 2030. This applies to the operation of the airport, not the operation of the aircraft taking off there. However, part of the synthetic kerosene required for climate-neutral flying is actually to be produced on site from biogas and other renewable energies. Together with energiewende tv and Memmingen Airport, we have made a film that explains the challenges of climate-neutral flying and describes the airport's concrete plans to reduce emissions and in which our doctoral students Dorela Dhamo and Philipp Rentschler put the research on synthetic kerosene at the IMVT in context.
