We had the pleasure of attending TNO’s highly productive workshop on “Upscaling hurdles and perspectives on electrochemical CO2 conversion” yesterday in Rijswijk, Netherlands.
🌍 The discussions were highly productive, and it was a delight to share my lecture alongside such engaging participants.
👩🏫👨🏫 The exchange of ideas between scientists and engineers from both academia and industry was truly valuable.
🤝💡 A special thanks to the organizers for including a visit to the TNO labs and the ZEUS pilot installation.
🧪🏭 It provided great context for the discussions throughout the day.
For those interested in this exciting field, here are some of the key topics covered by the speakers:
• Industrial CO2 electroreduction challenges (Moritz Schreiber, Total Energies) ⚡
• Modeling CO2 electrolysis (Remco Hartkamp, Delft University of Technology) 🔬
• Controlling Faradaic efficiency for ethanol production (Hermenegildo García, HG-energy, ITQ-UPV) 🍃
• Remaining technical barriers for CO2 electrolyzers (Thomas Burdyny, Delft University of Technology) 🏗️
• CO2-to-CO electrolysis in process chains (Kai junge Puring, Fraunhofer UMSICHT) 🔄
• R&D on upscaling CO2 electrolysis at TNO (Mark Sassenburg, TNO) 🚀
VoltaChem believes that chemical production can be fully sustainable by 2050 through innovation, collaboration, and system integration.
🌍🔬 The business-driven Shared Innovation Program of VoltaChem, initiated by TNO, aims to accelerate industrial electrification to reduce the CO2 footprint of the process industry and achieve a climate-neutral future.
⚡🌱 VoltaChem collaborates with partners to develop, validate, and scale up innovative conversion technologies that use emission-free electricity and circular feedstock, essential for a net-zero and circular society. ♻️🔄
