Electrification and innovation in the European chemical industry

The EU’ ambitious climate and circularity objectives call for the successful development and deployment of a portfolio of advanced process technologies and their combination in the chemical industry. Major technological priorities for the reduction of GHG emissions include the integration of climate neutral energy in particular through indirect electrification and direct electrification of chemical processes including through the utilisation of alternative energy forms.

Biomass Gasification an alternative way to produce Hydrogen

Biomass gasification is a mature technology pathway that uses a controlled process involving heat, steam, and oxygen to convert biomass to hydrogen and other products, without combustion. Because growing biomass removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the net carbon emissions of this method can be low, especially if coupled with carbon capture, utilization, and storage in the long term.

Renewable Hydrogen and Carbon for a new chemical world

Presented by Robin Post van der Burg, Managing director, Torrgas.
Renewable hydrogen can be produced via various conversion technology chains. Torrgas has developed a systematic solution that creates the opportunity to convert a wide variety of biobased feedstocks into renewable syngas and thus renewable hydrogen.

Bill Gates-Led Fund Backs Clean Hydrogen start-up

Tech start-up C-Zero splits methane into hydrogen and solid carbon, eliminating much of the greenhouse-gas impact.

C-Zero’s technology uses innovative thermocatalysis to split methane – the primary molecule in natural gas – into hydrogen and solid carbon in a process known as methane pyrolysis.
