Develops electrochemical conversion technology for the sustainable production of chemicals and fuels
Over ons
The energy transition has far-stretching implications for chemical companies. The Delft e-Refinery institute brings researchers and industrial partners together in order to develop the required technologies and human capital. Researchers in the e-Refinery initiative focus their research on the electrochemical conversion of sustainable electricity, water and air into fuels and chemical building blocks, from the molecular scale to large-scale system integration. Implementing e-Refinery will serve three important challenges that the society is facing: CO2 neutral fuels, seasonal energy storage and a defossilized chemical industry.

That great strides are being made in sustainability is evidenced again by this wonderful article on Battolyser, which tells us that the updated Battolyser stores power four times faster than before.

The production of ammonia, essential for fertilizer production, accounts for nearly 1.5% of global CO₂ emissions. This needs to be greener, which is why researchers have been looking for sustainable alternatives for years. However, according to Ruud Kortlever and Boaz Izelaar et al. (TU Delft Mechanical Engineering and e-Refinery) writing in the journal Energy & Environmental Sciences, completely green ammonia production is not yet within reach. Despite the technological challenges, the researchers remain hopeful.

Much attention to dealing with CO2 and industry, especially during the TU Delft Energy Hub campaign. Fantastic to see e-Refinery scientists contributing so much to solving this urgent issue. #eRefinery
As the world races toward a carbon-neutral future, the chemical industry faces a crucial shift: replacing fossil fuels with sustainable raw materials. “We’re in a hurry,” says Ruud Kortlever. “If we don’t advance the raw materials transition within the next 10-15 years, a carbon-neutral society by 2050 is out of reach.” 🔋 Kortlever’s team at the TU Delft e-Refinery institute focuses on electrocatalysis, a clean method using green electricity, water, and CO₂ or nitrogen to produce essential chemical building blocks. This approach could significantly reduce the carbon footprint of chemicals like ammonia and methanol. 🌐 TU Delft is uniquely positioned to tackle the entire production chain of sustainable chemicals, from catalyst development to industrial scaling, by collaborating across disciplines. “Rather than working step-by-step, we innovate in parallel,” says Kortlever. 🔗 Read more here: https://edu.nl/r6dt9 #university #innovation #technology #science #research #engineering #fossilfuels #sustainability #rawmaterials #electrocatalysis #greenelectricity

Making a virtue of necessity is something Prof. Wiebren de Jong (Mechanical Engineering and e-Refinery) knows all about. He turns waste product CO2 into a raw material. Read how that works in this story: 👉 https://edu.nl/3ejg8 And check out the Energy Hub campaign page 👉 https://lnkd.in/dFgFMh3R #eRefinery #Energy #Technology

Last month the group of Thomas Burdyny demonstrated a new catalyst configuration for the electrochemical conversion of CO2 to ethanol. The work published in Nature Catalysis pairs a molecular catalyst with a nickel electrode in a unique combination that circumvents the 2-electron limitations of most CO2 reduction systems. Importantly the work was supported by a network of collaborators within TU Delft (Fokko Mulder), and from Paris and Montreal. Congratulations to Maryam Abdinejad and Robin Möller-Gulland from TU Delft for their nice work. Continued work in this area has begun with two follow-up PhD projects in 2024. #eRefinery, #electrocatalysis, #CO2reduction https://lnkd.in/ewymwxs3
