The VoltaChem roadmap, business opportunities and address their challenges with respect to energy use, efficiency, first presented in our electrification whitepaper in 2015, positions these topics and the time before large-scale implementation in industry is expected. and selectivity together. We work closely with industry and academia on: • Bringing stakeholders together to accelerate technology adoption. • Developing business cases for industrial electrification in the short- and long-term. • Performing collaborative applied R&D in the field of industrial electrification. Capacity • Bringing technologies into industrial practice by initiating pilot/demo activities. Power-2-Chemicals • Addressing fundamental research questions together with top academic players.
