In this series we put the spotlight on the VoltaChem experts. We interview a team member and get to know him or her more in-depth. We will explore their role, background, expertise, motivations, ambition, and more. In this edition: Arend de Groot, Technical Lead of the Power-2-Hydrogen program line at VoltaChem.
Large potential for production of green hydrogen in five Dutch industrial regions
01-07-2020 | P2Hydrogen
Plenty of opportunities for large-scale green hydrogen production by means of industrial electrolysis of water exist in the Dutch industrial regions of Rotterdam, the North Sea Canal area, Geleen (Chemelot), Zeeland (North Sea Port) and the northern Netherlands. This follows from the first study results of ISPT's Hydrohub GigaWatt Scale Electrolyzer project, in which VoltaChem founding partner TNO
Lennart van der Burg hosts hydrogen webinars targeted towards China
29-06-2020 | P2Hydrogen
Lennart van der Burg, business development manager Power-2-Hydrogen at VoltaChem, recently hosted two hydrogen webinars targeted at a Chinese-Dutch audience. The webinars were part of a series of 5 webinars, organized by the Netherlands Innovation Network, on hydrogen as a solution to the current energy problems in both China and the Netherlands.
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). The pulsation flow electrolyzer not
Jochen Löffler joins VoltaChem as program manager Power-2-Hydrogen
10-06-2020 | P2Hydrogen
Earlier this year, Jochen Löffler joined VoltaChem as program manager Power-2-Hydrogen. As a senior project manager and leader of the electrochemistry cluster at TNO, Löffler will contribute to VoltaChem's efforts in realizing a full-scale viable technology for hydrogen production through water electrolysis.
