About the project
The chemical industry should be climate-neutral by 2050, which means phasing out fossil oil, gas and coal. Alternative carbon sources and renewable energies must therefore be used to replace fossil reserves. The Stuttgart-based research initiative CHEMampere is developing the concept of such a future chemical plant from both a fundamental and an application-oriented perspective.
Aim of the project
The aim of CHEMampere is to develop technologies for the sustainableCO2-neutral production of chemicals. The concept of this research initiative is based on the use of renewable electricity as a secondary form of energy to activate the non-fossil and readily available raw materialsCO2, H2O, O2 and N2. CHEMampere focuses on three electrical production technologies:
- Plasma process
- Electrolysis process
- Electrically heated reactors
Project partners
The University of Stuttgart, the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology (IGB) are involved in the initiative.
Further information on CHEMampere can also be found on the project website.
The CHEMampere colloquium will take place at various locations, including ARENA2036. If you are interested in participating, please contact Paul Rößner.
