Electrification to spearhead sustainability

FLIE can help companies in the process industry get started with industrial electrification by sharing unique knowledge and providing technical facilities to make innovative technologies market-ready. "Electrification is a spearhead for making industry more sustainable. To accelerate the transition from fossil sources to electricity and green hydrogen, existing technologies need to be taken to the next level faster. It is great to be able to shape this together with the FLIE team," van Hooft said of his new role.

Unique partnership

"FLIE is a unique organisation, which thanks to the combination of founding partners and cooperation partners has a tremendously strong network and brings with it a wealth of experience." Van Hooft therefore views the future positively, but movement from Industry is essential: "The climate challenge is big, but achievable. FLIE wants to work with Industry on solutions for specific processes to meet the climate task."

Direct Carbon Immobilization: recovering primary raw materials with fewer CO2 emissions

How to recover primary raw materials from waste without significant CO2-emissions? The Fieldlab Industrial Electrification has supported Alkmaar-based DOPS Recycling Technologies in the project circular industrial conversion technology for waste and residue streams: Direct Carbon Immobilisation (DCI™). To validate the technology at industrially relevant scale, the Fieldlab Industrial Electrification (FLIE) supported DOPS in the grant application and FLIE acted as project supervisor. Such support is indispensable for a startup.
