e-THOR: Electrolysis technology for hydrogen and oxygen production in Rotterdam
04-03-2020 | New Project
As part of VoltaChem's program line Power-2-Integrate, a study has been started towards an integrated hydrogen plant in the Rotterdam harbor. The project involves experts from TNO, waste-to-energy company AVR, TiO2 producer Tronox, and Deltalinqs, the business association of Mainport Rotterdam. The integrative approach can lead to a significant reduction of CO2 emissions in a unique demonstration
Taking the next step in the integrated capture and conversion of CO2 to oxalic acid
02-03-2020 | New Project
On February 7th 2020 the kick-off was held for a new project of the VoltaChem program line Power-2-Chemicals. The Bio-cel project focuses on the integrated capture and electrochemical conversion of biogenic CO2 to oxalic acid. It is carried out with project partners DMT Environmental Technology, Mestverwerking Fryslan, Tielo-Tech, TNO, and TU Delft.
Seizing opportunities in the international value chain of electrolyzer production
28-02-2020 | New Project
Green hydrogen is an indispensable ingredient in the energy transition and in making the chemical industry sustainable and carbon-neutral. Producing green hydrogen on such a large scale requires the availability of electrolyzers in large numbers. This offers the manufacturing industry great opportunities. In a partnership with FME (the Dutch employers’ organization in the technology industry) an
Modeling aging and degradation of stacks for a gigawatt electrolyzer
26-02-2020 | New Project
As part of the third phase of the Dutch national GigaWatt Electrolyzer project, VoltaChem founding partner TNO will develop a model for aging and degradation of PEM and alkaline electrolyzer stacks. This will provide the foundation for a stack replacement strategy in a future hydrogen factory of gigawatt scale.
Integrated capture and conversion of CO2
04-11-2019 | New Project
The direct use of CO2 loaded amine-based capture solvents in an electrochemical reactor is a viable concept for providing the chemical industry with sustainable, circular carbon-based starting materials. Laboratory experiments in VoltaChem's program line Power-2-Chemicals have already established high efficiencies in the capture integrated conversion of CO2 into formic acid. Now, a shared research
Next steps in Solid Oxide Electrolysis
01-11-2019 | New Project
VoltaChem researchers are developing the next generation of Solid Oxide Electrolysis (SOE) cells at TNO’s Faraday lab in Petten. SOE technology offers great opportunities for large scale hydrogen production, renewable energy storage and, in particular, for electrification of the chemical industry. A unique feature is the co-electrolysis of steam and carbon dioxide, resulting in the generation of
