Pierre Barthélemy: “The chemical industry has to reinvent its feedstock and energy mix, and in fact reinvent itself.”
28-06-2020 | P2Integrate
As the Executive Director of Research and Innovation at the European Chemical Industry Council (Cefic), Pierre Barthélemy is strongly involved with the industry's efforts to lower the carbon footprint and contribute to a sustainable future. In his view, shared innovation programs such as VoltaChem are not only relevant for the chemical industry itself, but for all of the European economy.

Boosting electrochemical conversion using a pulsating flow electrolyzer
24-06-2020 | Research result
In a recent publication in the journal Industrial & Engineering Chemical Research, VoltaChem researchers demonstrate how a pulsating flow can boost electrochemical conversion without the need for a complex reactor design. As a test reaction, the researchers investigated the conversion of 1,2-propanediol (PDO) to lactic acid (LA) and further to pyruvic acid (PA).
