The HyCARB project, funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) and National Growth Fund (NGF) programme GroenvermogenNL, is set to revolutionize the Dutch chemical industry. This substantial funding of €45.7 million aims to drive the development of technology for the production of fuels and materials from industrial waste gases and CO2 using sustainable energy and hydrogen. The project, coordinated by TNO with the support of Utrecht University and Eindhoven University of Technology, targets the reduction of global CO2 emissions by transitioning the Dutch chemical industry to renewable feedstock and energy sources. By utilizing green hydrogen and electrons, HyCARB focuses on the thermal and electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide to facilitate sustainable processes. Researchers within the project will work on improving catalyst materials, reactors, electrolysers, and heating methods to enhance the conversion of CO2. The collaboration involves nine universities, five universities of applied sciences, three research institutes, and thirty companies, emphasizing a diverse and multidisciplinary approach. Utrecht University has a pivotal role in the HyCARB project, with key researchers actively contributing to research efforts. The project coordinators aim to apply the research findings directly within the chemical industry, with the goal of achieving significant technological breakthroughs for sustainable production of fuels and chemicals. The project, a result of the call 'Hydrogen and green electrons for carbon-based chemistry', has received €35.3 million in funding from NGF and NWO, with additional co-funding bringing the total investment to €45.7 million. With a wide range of partners from academia and industry, HyCARB strives to advance the industry's transition towards green and sustainable practices.
