TU Delft e-Refinery has entered into a partnership with HyET E-Trol and HyET NoCarbon to develop and scale up electrolysis and carbon capture and utilization technologies.

Valeria Garbin, Associate Professor at the department of Chemical Engineering, has received a Proof of Concept grant from the European Research Council (ERC) last May, to develop her acoustic-bubble microrheology (ABuMic) method into a commercial instrument. This method enables researchers to probe the properties of liquid formulations, such as shampoo, mayonnaise, inks and paints, in flow conditions that are inaccessible to normal measuring devices but typical of many manufacturing processes. The ERC awarded the Proof of Concept funding to Garbin along with 54 other principal investigators across Europe.

The Faculty of Impact was founded to ensure that scientific research is also used to tackle social issues and realise economic growth.

The petrochemical industry in Rotterdam is the breeding ground for Dutch and German industry. But it is polluting and emits a lot of CO2. Here too, electrification is the key to clean and sustainable production. What steps are needed? From idea to industry.

On 26 April 2022, Professor Paulien Herder, Dean of the Faculty of Applied Sciences, was awarded a Royal distinction in the municipality of Pijnacker-Nootdorp. Paulien Herder was appointed a Knight in the Order of the Lion of the Netherlands, an award given to persons who have made an exceptional contribution to Dutch society.

Oil and gas shortages are not only pushing up the prices of gas and petrol, but also plastics, medicines and cosmetics. To make our society less dependent on fossil fuels and combat climate change, the chemical industry needs to change radically. In recent years, TU Delft and TNO have laid the foundation for cleaner production processes in the chemical industry. The new e-Chem partnership is now taking this a step further by actually constructing a clean factory of the future.
