CUTEC operates as ainterface betweeenvironmental technologies (science) and industry and conducts application-oriented environmental and energy research and development activities. This institute develops practical and hands-otechnologies and processes for the sustainable and adaptable treatments of solid, liquid and gaseous wastes. CUTEC has the moderfacilities required for the training of environmental personnel iall sections of the environment and energy sectors. It is a major environmental technology institute iGermany and also popularly knowiEurope. CUTEC is among the few ithe world where all environmental sections exist ia single building complex.

Over 200 national and international environment and energy projects as well as consulting have successfully beeimplemented.
