TransHyDe: 
New Impulses Regarding the H2- and CO2-Industry

News on the future and potential of an hydrogen- and CO2- based sustainable industry !

The german Leitprojekt TransHyDe has recently published a paper on the transformation of basic industries in the context of the energy transition. TransHyDe focuses on identifying and evaluating various transportation methods for hydrogen and is funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BFTR).
In close cooperation with represantives from energy-intensive industries (e. g. steel, chemistry, and cement), DECHEMA, DVGW, and FfE have summarized key findings and requirements for a future hydrogen and CO2 infrastructure. 

The key findings include:

  • Transforming the basic industry is essential for achieving exisitng climate goals as well as mantaining industrial competitiveness.
  • Europe and North Africa offer great potential for the production of green hydrogen.
  • The European Hydrogen Backbone's expansion plans appear broadly suitable for meeting the foreseeable needs of industry.
  • Analyses indicate local oversizing of individual pipeline sections and potential grid bottlenecks.


 As a research partnership dedicated to developing technologies for the transformation of the chemical sector, this study strongly reinforces our mission. The results underline both the urgency and the feasibility of building a climate-neutral industrial system based on hydrogen and CO₂ infrastructure.

Daniel Kleschew

"Joule-Heated Ceramic Composite Tubes for High-Temperature Endothermic Reactions"

As a member of the research group of Prof. Nieken at the Insitute of Chemical Process Engineering (ICVT), Daniel Kleschew works on the topic of joule-heated ceramics for endothermic reactions. His intriguing talk is summarized in the following: 

A high-temperature reactor concept using electrically heated oxide ceramic tubes is investigated with the aim of replacing fossil fuels with renewable electricity and reducing CO₂ emissions in the chemical industry. The multilayer ceramic composite tubes are resistant to thermal stress and consist of an inner monolithic oxide ceramic, a thin metallic heating element for Joule heating, and an outer Al₂O₃/Al₂O₃ ceramic matrix composite (OCMC) layer. Methane reforming was demonstrated at temperatures up to 1150 °C with conversion rates up to 80%, though soot formation and local temperature drops presented challenges that required process adjustments. 

We want to thank both Daniel Kleschew and the team of the ICVT for an exciting talk and an even more exciting lab tour.

CHEMampere Colloquium hosted Prof. Po Wen Cheng with a talk on the Future of Wind Energy! 


We had the pleasure of engaging in a captivating discussion today with Prof. Po Wen Cheng, a renowned expert in the field of wind energy, and we want to share some of the concepts we explored regarding the future of this renewable energy source.


One of the key areas we delved into was the potential of floating wind turbines, which offer tremendous possibilities for expanding offshore wind power generation. Prof. Cheng shared fascinating insights into the technology and its ability to harness stronger and more consistent winds found further out at sea. This advancement could unlock vast untapped wind resources and drive the growth of renewable energy.


Being a part of the CHEMampere Initiative, our discussion naturally revolved around leveraging wind energy for sustainable chemical production. We brainstormed scenarios for integrating wind power into the existing grid infrastructure, ensuring a stable and consistent supply of renewable energy. Additionally, we explored the concept of direct power-to-x processes, whereby wind energy can be utilized to produce value-added molecules directly. This coupling of wind energy with chemical processes holds tremendous potential for reducing carbon emissions and advancing the sustainable production of chemicals.


We look forward to exploring the possibilities and collaborations that lie ahead as we continue to drive the adoption of wind energy and its integration with the CHEMampere Initiative's vision of sustainable chemical production. Let's harness the power of the wind to create a greener and more sustainable future!

Producing products with CO2 as a raw material

Some microorganisms can do that. This dossier examines biotechnological approaches to CO2 utilization and presents relevant economic actors, research projects and funding initiatives on the way to climate-neutral industrial production.

CHEMampere special series article has been published!

Early in 2022, the CHEMampere team published a manuscript in the Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering detailing the motivations and goals of the CHEMampere initiative. Furthermore, the state-of-the-art of the three main technologies (plasma, electrolysis and ohmic heating of catalysts) pursued by CHEMampere is discussed, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each as well as giving some timeframe estimates as to when such technologies can be expected to reach industrial-scale maturity, based on the experience of the CHEMampere collaborators.

CHEMampere partners develop new method to replace natural gas in the chemical industry

It is with great satisfaction that we announce that in May 2022 the CHEMampere partners of the Institute for Photovoltaics (IPV) of the University of Stuttgart, via their spin-off "Cyclize", were awarded EXIST transfer of research funding from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection.

The funded research aims to replace natural gas as a raw material in the chemical industry with plastic waste and exhaust gas CO2 to close the carbon cycle. This is done with the use of a newly developed plasma process, developed by three young researchers – Maike Lambarth, Stephan Renninger, and Jan Stein – from the Institute for Photovoltaics at the University of Stuttgart.

The team at CHEMampere wishes the Cyclize team all the best in the future endeavors to bring this newly developed technology to industrial maturity!
