SuperCell Shared Research Program
21-09-2023 | Program update
Since April 2022, TNO has been working within the VoltaChem program with three partners to develop a new generation of electrolyzers. It is collaborating with German company Schaeffler, British company Johnson Matthey, and Belgian company Bekaert to improve the cell that is part of PEM electrolysis. The cell is the heart of this electrolysis process and consists of various layers, such as electric
Decarbonization and recarbonization
07-11-2019 | Program update
The theme of the 2019 VoltaChem annual event is “Re-carbonizing the Chemical Industry by Electrification”. At VoltaChem's 5th anniversary, it brings to attention the importance of carbon, a key element in many products. Since we can't do without carbon, recarbonization is a crucial concept for realizing a sustainable economy.
Additional investments boost industrial electrification R&D
30-08-2018 | Program update
An additional €2 million will be invested by TNO in its industrial electrification activities within VoltaChem on top of the existing yearly contribution. This increase is the result of additional government investments in applied research by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and a recognition of the importance of the subject and the results attained so far. The funds will be invested in ac
Connecting electrification technology to chemical value chains
15-06-2018 | Program update
To better suit the needs of the market and accelerate innovation, VoltaChem has decided to complement its technologically oriented activities with a focus on the three most impactful chemical value chains: Fuels, Fertilizers and Plastics. To engage these value chains, our business development focus will be on addressing the most crucial questions and drivers in each of these application areas. For
Hybrid industrial energy systems: Kick-starting industrial electrification
22-01-2018 | Program update
One of the most promising short-term industrial electrification technologies is power-to-heat, the switch from gas- to electricity-based heat. As many industrial processes are driven by medium and high-temperature heat, changing its energy source to renewable power will immediately impact the industrial carbon footprint. In the VoltaChem program a group of companies, together with TNO and ECN, has
