The Dutch chemical industry heavily relies on fossil raw materials contributing to global CO2 emissions. To address this, the HyCARB project in the Netherlands focuses on developing a more sustainable future for the industry by incorporating green energy sources like hydrogen and green electrons. Project leader Martijn de Graaff emphasizes the importance of innovative and competitive chemical processes that utilize sustainable energy and hydrogen. The consortium behind HyCARB comprises universities, research institutes, and companies aiming to deliver internationally renowned results, including new hydrogenation processes, CO2 electrolysers, and high-temperature reactors. The project, funded by the National Growth Fund and NWO, has a total investment of €45.7 million. By leveraging the expertise of various institutions and industry partners, HyCARB seeks to advance the technology base for sustainable production of carbon-based chemicals using green hydrogen, green electrons, and captured carbon dioxide. Through a combination of laboratory work, advanced analytical equipment, and techno-economic assessments, the project aims to drive decarbonization in the industry. The National Growth Fund Programme GroenvermogenNL plays a crucial role in supporting green capability investments in the Dutch economy, with a specific focus on transitioning towards a sustainable energy supply. By investing in green hydrogen, the Netherlands aims to build a new industry and a favorable business environment. This initiative, running until 2030, underscores the importance of skilled individuals and knowledge sharing for a successful transition towards sustainable practices.
