Creating a sustainable future for the chemical industry

Creating a sustainable future for the chemical industry

We offer Iris to chemical industry pioneers who are serious about decarbonising their value chain. Our focus is on accelerating catalyst development – catalysts are the point of leverage to build a new green chemical industry, one process at a time. Only innovation can make the business case for the energy transition and together we can build a better, greener future by producing fuels, chemicals, fertilizer, plastics, and textiles in a sustainable fashion.

Fuels

Fuels serve as the lifeblood of our modern world, powering transportation, industries, and daily activities. However, the combustion of fossil fuels is a major contributor, accounting for 75% of global emissions.

Plastics

Innovative catalytic processes can create efficient ways to make and recycle plastics, cutting down their environmental impact and reducing reliance on fossil fuels across every industry and in our daily lives.

Fertilizers

Fertilizer production, notably the Haber-Bosch process for ammonia synthesis, is a major emitter of carbon dioxide. This process consumes 2.5 tons of carbon dioxide for every ton of ammonia produced, making it one of the most carbon-intensive.

Textiles

About 40% of all emissions produced by the textile industry stem from synthetic fibre manufacturing. While there are no good alternatives that can meet the rising market demand, innovating carbon-neutral processes could dramatically reduce the carbon intensity.

Hydrogen will be elemental for long duration energy storage and decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors. Let’s work together to identify materials that increase energy efficiency and remove dependencies on critical raw materials.

Ammonia, the key feedstock for fertiliser, emits 2.5 tons of CO2 for every ton produced today. New electrocatalytic routes to ammonia could slash global carbon dioxide emissions by more than 450 Mt per annum when at scale.

From buying clothes to surfing the web, all our actions carry a carbon footprint. A 50% more efficient catalyst for electrochemical CO2 reduction can make it economically feasible to convert emissions into chemicals and fuels.
