The K+S Brine Challenge is Open to Submissions

At K+S, we believe that sustainability has great value. And we believe in the ambition, the wealth of ideas and the wisdom of the many. As a responsible member of society, we strive to reduce our environmental footprint. For us, this also means minimizing the salt wastewater from our tailings piles.

We invite researchers, start-ups, institutes and all people who are driven by great inventiveness to participate in our brine challenge with their proposals. Share our challenge. Shape more sustainable solutions.

A minimum of one and up to 3 winners of the K+S Brine Challenge will receive a cash prize of 20,000€ each. In addition, K+S is open for potential joint collaboration projects with the challenge winners. The objective of this collaboration is to test the proposed technology and to develop it for industrial use.

Submit your technology proposal by December 12, 2018, 5pm ET.

Looking forward to your submissions!
