An industrial perspective for the sustainable electrochemical production of tartaric acid: From CO2 to a C4 molecule
21-09-2020 | P2Chemicals
In a recently published paper in the ACS journal Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, Amanda Garcia, Carlos Sánchez-Martínez, Ivan Bakker and Earl Goetheer present a feasible green and sustainable electrochemical production route for tartaric acid. The VoltaChem researchers synthesized this industrially relevant chemical through electrochemical reduction of oxalic and glyoxylic acids. In a techn

In this new series we will put the spotlight on the experts from the VoltaChem team. On a regular basis, we will interview a team member and get to know him or her more in-depth. We will explore their role, background, expertise, motivations, ambition, and much more. First in line: Earl Goetheer, Technical Lead of the Power-2-Chemicals program line at VoltaChem.
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.
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
