'Power-to-chemical' new holy grail electrification industry

Without electrification, the port of Rotterdam and its industries cannot meet the CO2-targets. How steps can be taken in this, that is what the Fieldlab Industrial Electrification (FLIE), among others, is working on. Director a.i. Peter van Hooft: 'We test new Power-2-X technologies on an industrially relevant scale to accelerate the energy transition in industry.'

Getting started with FLIE

A pilot at FLIE helps to understand how electricity can be used to make specific industrial processes more sustainable. This type of testing is of interest to industrial end-users looking to implement new technologies, as well as technology providers looking to demonstrate their innovations. On this page read more about the testing opportunities within our various production lines.

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.
