PERFORM System designed and reactor constructed
With the growing global shift towards more sustainable technologies in science and industry, the electrochemical production of chemicals is more relevant than ever, due to its potential to utilize energy and resources efficiently, eliminate the use of toxic solvents and minimize waste.

In Work Package (WP) 6, led by AVA BIOCHEM, the economics of the PERFORM project will be assessed, as well as the market where the technology is developed for. The results of these will be input for the exploitation plan of WP 7. All these tasks are very closely related to WP 3 and WP 4, where the system platform innovation is set up and the power platform is demonstrated (main innovations of the project). A major partner during the whole process of TEA is University of Hohenheim, who is doing the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
