Interview to Roman Latsuzbaia, Scientist at TNO and responsible for PERFORM System Platform Innovation

Q: Which are the milestones achieved till date that you would highlight?

A: Electrochemical conversion has a potential to combine use of renewable electricity and renewable resources, such as biomass, to contribute to transition towards more sustainable chemical industry. PERFORM projects aims to develop a Perform Power Platform, where feasibility of two electrochemical transformation routes to make value added chemicals from biobased sources will be demonstrated. The Power Platform will be a flexible system where, in the future, other electrochemical conversion routes can be tested and help in brining electrochemical conversion technologies closer to implementation.

Interview to Rosalba Passalacqua, Senior Researcher at INSTM and responsible for the Electrode Platform Innovation of PERFORM

Q: What are the main responsibilities of INSTM within the project?

A: To answer this question, it is useful to recall that the general objective of the PERFORM project is contributing to establish a new technological infrastructure. This infrastructure is aimed at the highly selective transformation, by the electrochemical way, of raw materials from biomass into intermediates for the chemical industry, thus reducing the dependence of our society from the traditional compounds derived from fossil fuels and at the same time, integrating renewable energy resources into industrial production.

First successful intermediate review for PERFORM

From June 24 to 26, the PERFORM consortium celebrated its month 18 meeting and underwent its first review by the European Commission and SPIRE 2030 organisations.

PERFORM, present at Biofach 2020

Novamont, one of PERFORM’s consortium partners, attended Biofach 2020 from February 12 to 15 in Nurnberg (Germany), where they took the chance to speak about the PERFORM project and deliver some brochures.

Among other tasks, Novamont is the partner responsible for PERFORM’s product formulations of bio-based and biodegradable materials.

One of the key innovations of the PERFORM project is the use of bio-based feedstocks that will allow the transformation of the chemical industry towards sustainability.

The PERFORM General Assembly for month 12, celebrated in The Netherlands

The month-12 General Assembly meeting of the PERFORM project took place in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) on 30 and 31 January, 2020.

TNO disseminates the PERFORM project at the 12th European Congress of Chemical Engineering

Roman Latsuzbaia, Electrochemical Process Scientist at TNO, attended the 12th European Congress of Chemical Engineering to update the industry on the latest news of the PERFORM project.

The audience, gathered together in Florence (Italy) September 15-19, received information on the electrochemical production of biobased maleic acid from Roman.

PERFORM is expected to reduce the environmental impact of chemical production by lowering CO2 emissions thanks to the advanced use of bio-based products and renewable energy.
