PERFORM: using green electricity and renewable feedstocks to create high-value molecules
21-09-2023 | P2Chemicals
A major advance towards making the chemical industry more sustainable: the EU PERFORM project will conclude at the end of the year – and the results are already spectacular. Electrochemistry allows the industry to produce far more efficiently, while cutting CO2 emissions by half. After successful laboratory trials, a pilot test setup at TNO has demonstrated that many chemical products can be ma

VoltaChem is pleased to announce the arrival and initiation of its cutting-edge ZEUS pilot CO2 electrolyser at TNO facilities in Rijswijk, The Netherlands.
Integrated capture and conversion of CO2
04-11-2019 | New Project
The direct use of CO2 loaded amine-based capture solvents in an electrochemical reactor is a viable concept for providing the chemical industry with sustainable, circular carbon-based starting materials. Laboratory experiments in VoltaChem's program line Power-2-Chemicals have already established high efficiencies in the capture integrated conversion of CO2 into formic acid. Now, a shared research
First Community of Practice meeting in Power-2-Chemicals attracts international audience
04-08-2019 | Event report
At the first VoltaChem Community of Practice (CoP) meeting on Power-2-Chemicals, held 17 June at the TNO premises in Delft, an international audience was brought up-to-date on the 'Opportunities of using electrochemistry in chemical production'. Hosted by Prof. Earl Goetheer, VoltaChem's technical lead in Power-2-Chemicals, the meeting was informative and sparked a lively debate.
Smart integration strategies create viable business cases in electrochemical CO2 conversion
10-06-2019 | P2Chemicals
In a recent article in the Dutch journal NPT Process Technology, VoltaChem scientists Anca Anastasopol and Earl Goetheer present an integrated process approach for electrochemical CO2 utilization. They argue that by combining technological building blocks in a smart way, viable business cases can already be created in the short term, truly moving ahead and changing the paradigm of CO2 being a wast
