Advancing scientific progress with computing power

Digital research and development are the cornerstone of Covestro's innovation strategy. Leveraging cutting-edge computational methods, the high-performance computer in Leverkusen turbocharges virtual experimentation and modeling. This enables complex research and development processes and accelerates the market introduction of groundbreaking products. Simultaneously, high-performance computing methods contribute significantly to sustainability goals: By shifting research experiments into the virtual realm, energy consumption is dramatically reduced and material waste is minimized.

Research in fast-forward

The high-performance computer, a powerhouse of computational might, boasts 500 processors – approximately 13,000 cores. This allows for the simultaneous calculation of hundreds of research processes. Here's the kicker: Up to 90 percent of the ”High Performance Computing”-system can be passively cooled, resulting in substantial additional energy savings.

Efficiency and sustainability through “digital chemistry“

Covestro harnesses advanced digital simulations to pioneer new applications for the circular economy and drive the development of innovative materials. The insights gained from “digital chemistry” are systematically translated into real-world laboratory experiments. The system's phenomenal performance empowers researchers to uncover novel reaction pathways, facilitating the exploration of optimal catalysts to enhance chemical processes. Consequently, these industrial catalysts become remarkably more efficient and sustainable.
