European technology to catalyse electrification of chemical industry
THE CONSORTIUM
A consortium led by TNO (The Netherlands) and formed by VITO (Belgium), Avantium (The Netherlands), INSTM (Italy), Hysytech (Italy), Sustainable Innovations (Spain), Perstorp (Sweden), University of Hohenheim (Germany), Radici Chimica (Italy), AVA Biochem (Switzerland) and Novamont (Italy) will work for 48 months in order to develop and build an electrochemical pilot reactor, a direct conversion to the targeted products.
Goal
PERFORM contributed to technology development to reduce the environmental impact of the chemical industry. The technology developed in PERFORM reduced CO2 emissions from the production of chemicals due to the efficient utilization of renewable biobased feedstocks and renewable energy. It is essential for a future sustainable society that uses local resources.
