Dr. Lutz Stobbe is a senior scientist and group leader at the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration (IZM) with 25 years of professional experience in the field of green information and communication technology (ICT). His group's research, “Sustainable Networks and Computing,” focuses on methodological issues of life cycle assessment (LCA) and applied eco-design, particularly for device technology in data centers and telecommunications. He developed the 6C methodology, which supports structured modeling of complex life cycle inventory models for ICT.

As a project manager, he has been involved in dozens of national and international research projects. Of particular note are six preparatory studies on the development of measures to implement the EU Ecodesign Directive. He also led accompanying research teams that supported large publicly funded research programs such as IT2Green, 5G Industrial Internet, Green HPC, and Green ICT.

His work for industry includes providing technical support for life cycle assessments and ecodesign. As part of the further development of Green ICT, he is driving forward the development of ecodesign strategies and methods for a sustainable future of information and communication technology.
