CO2 reduction and green carbon in industry

Introduction: three TNO technologies that reduces CO2 and convert carbon into sustainable products.

Soledad van Eijk, Senior Business Developer Industrial Carbon Capture at TNO.

The ZEUS technology for converting captured CO2 into green chemicals via electrochemistry. Examples of products that can be made are formic acid, carbon monoxide for syngas, but also ethanol and ethylene

Matti van Schooneveld, Senior Business Developer Sustainable Chemical Industry

The Green Carbon EMBER technology contributes to closing industrial cycles and a circular carbon economy by efficiently converting carbon into the renewable fuel and chemical building blocks; converting light hydrocarbon by-products to H2, syngas and carbon black.

Jan Willem Könemann, Senior Business Developer Synthetic Fuels and Feedstock

Using plasma technology, carbon residual flows such as CO2 and biogas can be efficiently converted into syngas. The syngas can then be used as a starting product for conversion to methanol, applicable for polymer production, bio-fuel production or protein production.
