GREENER – Detection of endocrine disruptors
The environmental monitoring of potentially hazardous substances such as chemicals or pharmaceuticals is of great public interest, particularly in the fields of aquaponics and fisheries, as excessive hormone intake can lead to reproductive disorders. However, comprehensive measurement in areas such as rivers, wastewater, and sewage treatment plants is a significant challenge and is therefore only carried out in cases of suspected contamination. The necessary measurement technology for detecting such substances at concentrations of ng/L is currently only available in laboratories.
The GREENER project is the first to develop and provide a non-dispersive spectrometer technology as a nano-(opto-)electronic system with an electrically pumped single-photon source and a highly efficient single-photon detector.

TreeMon – Tree monitoring
An autonomous sensor node detects sound emissions in standing trees and enables precise monitoring of vitality, drought stress and pest infestation – for fruit growing, forestry and urban greening, among other applications.
| A joint research project within the initiative “Digital GreenTech 2” of the German federal ministry of education and research TreeMon: Entwicklung eines autonomen Schallemission-Sensorknotens für das Zustandsmonitoring von stehenden Bäumen. |  |
