Expertise – strategic lines of InSusChem
The consortium focuses on sustainable chemical production through efficient and alternative energy use connected to circularity, new chemical pathways, technologies, reactors and materials, that allow the use of alternative feedstock and/or energy supply. These core technical aspects are supported by expertise in simulation, techno-economic and environmental impact assessment and uncertainty identification to accelerate technological development via knowledge-based design and early stage identified key research, needed for accelerated growth and maximum impact on sustainability.
To achieve these goals, the consortium members are grouped in 4 interconnected valorization programs focusing on key performance elements that thrive the chemical industry and technology:
1. Renewable building blocks
2. Sustainable materials and materials for sustainable processes
3. Sustainable processes, efficiently using alternative renewable energy sources and/or circular chemical building blocks
4. Innovative reactors for sustainable processes.
In addition, cross-cutting integrated enablers are present, providing expertise and essential support to the 4 valorization programs through simulation, techno-economic and environmental impact assessment and uncertainty analysis.
