10-06-2019 | P2Chemicals
By intensifying its electrochemical R&D efforts for specialty and high-value chemical applications, VoltaChem strengthens the Power-2-Chemicals program line providing additional opportunities for the chemical industry. Meet Dr. Reinier Grimbergen, who joined the VoltaChem team in May as senior business development manager responsible for developing the Power-2-Chemicals proposition in the high-val
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
Huge opportunities for electrolyzer technology in future gigawatt green hydrogen market

On Tuesday, March 12, VoltaChem hosted the workshop 'Developing the supply chain for electrolyzers' at ECNâTNO in Petten. It provided an outlook on the business opportunities for the European industry in the developing hydrogen market, and on the challenges to overcome in developing water electrolysis technology - especially regarding PEM electrolyzers. Some thirty participants from materials, t
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
