TNO is a leading independent applied research institution in the Netherlands. Our mission is to apply scientific knowledge to create innovation that improves industrial competitiveness and societal well-being. One of the main current societal and industrial challenges is climate change. We acknowledge CCUS as one of the key solutions for climate change. We have extensive expertise in this field for over 15 years. The Gas Treatment team of TNO is in constant collaboration with the (Dutch) industry, especially end-users from hard-to-abate sectors such as WtE, Cement and Power. TNO has a proven track record of coordinating (c) and participating (p) in large impact commercial and funded projects. Recent examples are ALIGN-CCUS (c), LAUNCH (c), NEWEST (p), Everlong (c) and SCOPE (p) in the ACT funding scheme and CEMCAP (p), REALISE (p) and TAKE-OFF ©️ in Horizon2020.
The vision of the research group Membrane Materials and Processes (MMP) of the TU/e is to tailor materials chemistry and morphology to control polymer membrane functionality and performance for sustainable process applications involving water, gas, electrons, or a combination of these. The expertise of the group covers a multidisciplinary knowledge chain ranging from molecule to process. It involves material synthesis and functionalization, molecular, geometric, and morphological architecting and device and process design. This is combined with advanced physicochemical characterizations and process performance evaluations.
TotalEnergies is a broad energy company that produces and markets fuels, natural gas and electricity. Our ambition is to become a major Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technology integrator along the value chain to participate in climate change mitigation and prepare for new business opportunities. CCUS being key in our strategy, development, and promotion of new or improved carbon capture technologies along with guidance, review and methodology development are essential. TotelEnergies OneTech is the branch regrouping the technical and scientific expertise of the Company.
