Lively exchange of ideas at VoltaChem’s business community meeting on renewable energy carriers
07-07-2019 | Community
On Wednesday 26 June the second VoltaChem business community meeting of 2019 was all about Renewable Energy Carriers. Representatives from industry sectors such as power generation, oil industry, renewable energy and new energy management gathered at the Uniper Maasvlakte site. There, VoltaChem/TNO experts brought them up-to-date in understanding energy chains, both nationally and internationally.
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
Electrochemistry offers great opportunities for increasing efficiency and reducing waste
10-06-2019 | P2Chemicals
By intensifying its electrochemical R&D efforts for specialty and high-value chemical applications, VoltaChem strengthens the Power-2-Chemicals program line providing additional opportunities for the chemical industry. Meet Dr. Reinier Grimbergen, who joined the VoltaChem team in May as senior business development manager responsible for developing the Power-2-Chemicals proposition in the high-val
New eCOUCH project develops route towards efficient electrochemical CO2 utilisation
03-06-2019 | New Project
VoltaChem/TNO, Avantium and the University of Amsterdam are joining forces in the development of a highly efficient electrochemical process for the conversion of carbon dioxide. In the eCOUCH project, they aim to demonstrate at the bench scale how paired electrolysis can produce both chlorine and carbon monoxide, starting from hydrochloride acid and carbon dioxide. The high electron efficiency of
ReFuel: Establishing the potential of hydrogen production for waste incineration plants
25-03-2019 | New Project
In a new study, the feasibility of hydrogen production by waste incineration plants will be investigated. The study, part of VoltaChem's Power-2-Hydrogen program line, focuses on the 'ReEnergy' waste incineration plant in Roosendaal. By using about a third of its 20 MW electrical power generation for the production of hydrogen, the plant could substantially contribute to facilitating the energy tr
