Matchmaking for a heat issue from Shell Chemie Netherlands

15 October 2021

"Power2heat as a heat balance solution", the seminar organised by Fieldlab Industrial Electrification during the Industrial Heat & Power fair at Brabanthallen Den Bosch produced significantly more matches than expected. It was an energetic session with a lot of audience interaction. Shell Moerdijk presented a practical case study on making efficient use of waste heat. Tech companies Olvondo, Piller and Standard Fasel gave three diverse pitches in which they enthusiastically outlined their technological solutions. Both the case study and the pitches were well received by the audience; there were many substantive questions and critical comments, which in turn generated good conversations. This is exactly what we as a field lab stand for! Connecting technology and end-users to solve real-world issues. While Shell was given a moment to choose which technology provider they wanted to engage in further discussions with, Kuneverda and Kaaij took the audience through a business case on heat storage. It turned out that Kaaij and Shell have a lot of common ground and this resulted in another successful match for a follow-up appointment. TNO closed the presentation series with the latest developments and future prospects of heat pumps. During the denouement, Shell said it wanted to enter into talks with Piller to realise a solution in the short term; the solutions of the other technology providers seem promising in the longer term. The presentations and pitches from the entire seminar can be found here. Also have an electrification issue? Then contact us at info@flie.nl.

Four promising electrification options for LANXESS

To electrify a large energy consumer at their Rotterdam production site, LANXESS recently enlisted the help of the Fieldlab Industrial Electrification (FLIE). After researching and working closely with LANXESS, FLIE came up with four promising options. At its Rotterdam production site, LANXESS makes benzoic acid, benzaldehyde and benzyl alcohol. They are excipients found in everyday products such as toothpaste, medicines, perfume, cosmetics and as
