hte wins STEP Award 2011
"The STEP Award is confirmation of the innovative work that our team has carried out with our customers and partners in the past twelve years," says Dr. Dirk Demuth, CEO and COO of hte Aktiengesellschaft. "We also see the award as an incentive to further enhance our technology platform."
The hte team has worked together on numerous fundamental developments to create a technology platform for testing catalysts and chemical processes in a high-throughput process. Their approach makes it possible to identify higher performance catalysts 10 to 100 times faster than current standard procedures are able to do. As accelerators of chemical reactions, catalysts help to save energy, obtain more useful products from raw fossil materials and make new energy sources such as hydrogen or fuels from wood chips competitive.
In this year's STEP Award company competition, hte received the main prize of €100,000. The sum comprises a monetary prize of €50,000 and a comprehensive range of services of the same value, consisting of consulting and other services provided by the sponsors and partners of the STEP Award.
