- The main objective of ALCHEMHY is to design, develop and upscale at TRL 6 novel electrified production routes for basic chemicals using hydrogen as feedstock and to assess its integration in existing production processes downstream. The project will cover different configurations for the electric technologies, in particular electrically heated thermocatalytic processes, plasma-catalytic and direct electrosynthesis. In particular, the project will focus on the synthesis of: 1) ammonia and 2) methanol and on the integration of these novel processes in downstream chemicals and materials applications (i.e. fertilisers, caprolactam and olefins), significantly reducing the GHG emissions related to these chemicals production.
THE ROLE OF FBK
- generating the control strategy for both ammonia and methanol systems for several operational states and also emergency operation
- performing life cycle sustainability assessment of both ammonia and methanol systems
