New facilities for hydrogen research: The Faraday Lab
10-10-2019 | New Project
Developed with 6-million-euro funding from the Dutch national scheme for Electrochemical Conversion & Materials, the new Faraday Lab in Petten is a significant extension of the facilities of TNO. It is dedicated to working on innovative solutions together with industrial partners, in the development and testing of materials and components for all relevant electrolyzer technologies: PEM, SOE, AEM a
NextGenP2H2: paving the way for a full-scale Dutch PEM electrolyzer
22-07-2019 | New Project
Friday 13 September the 50 kW PEM electrolyzer test system will be revealed and started up at the Faraday Lab in Petten. Within NextGenP2H2 project, the PEM technology will be optimized in view of low cost and high performance, thus paving the way for further development of a full-scale Dutch MW PEM electrolyzer.
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
Pilot for synthesis of formic acid from CO2 at Twence waste incineration site
17-03-2019 | New Project
On February 21, the Twence waste incineration company officially launched the development of a pilot plant for converting CO2 into formic acid. This pilot builds on the VoltaChem Power-2-formic acid project where a reactor was developed and tested in cooperation between Coval Energy, VoltaChem/TNO, and TU Delft. Now the technology will be scaled up towards the pilot plant at the Twence site in Hen
5M investment in state-of-the-art electrochemical research facilities
04-09-2018 | New Project
The Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate (EZK) has recently granted 5 M€ to VoltaChem initiator TNO to invest in state-of-the-art research facilities in the field of electrochemistry and green hydrogen production technology. This new “Faraday Lab”, named after the 19th-century inventor renowned for his contributions to the electrochemistry, will be realized in Petten (The Netherlan
