Driving sustainable fuel innovations: join our syngas innovation initiative Recently, @TiesvanMaaren has contributed to the World E-fuels Summit (https://lnkd.in/dYjzjYKS) in Amsterdam. A summit regarding the global efforts taken to mitigate climate change and achieve carbon neutrality by addressing the role of e-fuels in the broader energy transition. Important innovations are necessary for green and cost-efficient development of e-fuels. TNO is setting up a new collaborative multi-year research initiative focused on syngas production through co-electrolysis of steam and CO2 using solid oxide electrolyser (SOE) technology. The project aims to optimise the co-SOE technology towards improved efficiency, lifetime, cost, technology scalability and process integration. Within this project we are working together with complementary partners in the upstream process (feed streams), co-SOE system and downstream process (Ethanol, methanol, SAF, E-diesel, E-gasoline), as well end-users. Additional partners are still welcome to join this groundbreaking and important project. Goals * Boosting efficiency and cost-effectiveness of co-SOE technology. * Overcoming scalability challenges for industrial applications. * Integrating syngas production into downstream processes seamlessly. Why it matters With strict EU-regulations on sustainable e-fuels, it’s crucial for industry leaders to innovate. This project aims to tackle the major hurdles in syngas production, paving the way for a sustainable energy future. Interested?

Transition to circularity

I had the pleasure of representing TNO at the CO2 Value Europe General Assembly in Grenoble last week. I also presented project Take-off on behalf of my esteemed colleague Jan-Willem Konemann where alternative routes to #esaf are being developed. The event was a good mix of technology, business-cases and regulations that are necessary in the field of CO2 utilisation #CCUS. The event was hosted by CEA-Liten and wonderfully organised by CO2 Value Europe. And as usual, the best part was meeting new people. For me the highlight was the exchange of ideas and updates with none other than Michael Carus with whom my professional interests in bio-based and CCU come nicely together. Also, we were by far the most colourful people at the conference 😊 Looking forward to the future engagements.

We are happy to announce a webinar on September 12th, with presenter Michele Tedesco, senior scientist in electrochemical engineering at TNO with experience in electrochemical CO2 capture and conversion, flow batteries, and electricity-driven separation for chemical industry.

Exploring PFAS alternatives Together with some of the leading Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs) VoltaChem co-initiator TNO worked on a joint statement on the upcoming restriction within the European Union. PFAS material, aka 'forever chemicals' are widely used in multiple applications due to their unique properties and long lifetime. In the Faraday Lab (NL) multiple fluor free membranes are tested, validated and developed from commercial suppliers with promising results. Like to know more?

Contributing to the energy transition. Envision it. Become a business developer Green Hydrogen Production. Support companies, industrial clusters, and institutions in the transition from fossil to sustainable material and energy management. The goal of the position is to develop and market our value propositions. In this position, your primary focus is on the further development and application of electrolysis technology for green hydrogen production. The development of electrolysis technology is still in its infancy. TNO plays a leading role globally in the further development of this technology towards more efficient, cheaper, and more sustainable electrolysers. This development is always in collaboration with Dutch and international companies. We do this in bilateral projects, but also in multi-partner projects and public-private partnerships such as VoltaChem, Electrolyzer Makersplatform, and ISPT Hydrohub. As a business developer, you will support companies throughout the hydrogen chain. From (future) green hydrogen operators, project developers, and EPC companies to high-tech manufacturing companies developing materials, components, and systems for electrolysers. Core activities include the development and sale of R&D projects related to water, electrolysis technology, contract negotiation, and licensing arrangements, conducting market research, and expanding TNO's industry and partner network. You will also support the management of our Industry division in developing and validating the proposition portfolio. Find out more at https://lnkd.in/eWpfv_B6

Paving the way for a greener future As we approach the summer holidays, many will take to the skies for their travels. In a study VoltaChem and TNO Vector delve into innovative solutions like #e-methanol and #e-kerosene, aiming to make #aviation more #sustainable in the future. This study embarks on an in-depth evaluation of diverse pathways to achieve sustainable mobility, offering a comparative quantitative analysis through a meticulously selected set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). These KPIs are calculated for various configurations that ingeniously integrate CO2 capture, storage, and e-fuels production. The focus is on carbon-based e-fuels, such as e-methanol and e-kerosene, which are anticipated to be pivotal in transforming heavy-duty transport sectors like long-haul trucking, aviation, and maritime shipping towards sustainability. By exploring these innovative configurations, our research addresses critical aspects of the Paris Agreement's goal to limit global warming by 2050. This comprehensive analysis not only caters to well-informed researchers but also aims to engage a broader audience interested in the future of sustainable transport. Our findings provide insightful perspectives on how these carbon-based e-fuels can significantly contribute to reducing the #carbon footprint of heavy-duty transportation, paving the way for a greener future.
