Renewable raw materials are essential for conserving natural resources, reducing dependencies on fossil fuels, and hitting global sustainability goals. Research and process optimization play a key role in overcoming the many challenges on the road to sustainable use and efficient integration of these raw materials into existing value chains.
New processes for converting renewable raw materials into value added products are extremely important, as they facilitate use of sustainable resources. The aim here is to improve the carbon footprint, while also tapping new development opportunities for platform chemicals and drop-in fuels. However, the use of renewable raw materials poses a variety of challenges: For example, their chemical composition typically differs significantly from fossil raw materials due to them having a higher oxygen content, numerous functional groups, as well as other impurities. In addition to questions of availability and cost, purifying these raw materials and adapting existing processes to their specific properties are also complex tasks.
Many conversion processes for use of renewable raw materials are either not yet ready for market or still too cost-intensive. However, advances in catalyst development and process optimization are constantly delivering improvements in this area.
At the same time, new processes are constantly being developed to use renewable raw materials more efficiently and achieve the ambitious sustainability goals of companies and countries, as many of the technologies required for this simply do not yet exist.
High throughput experimentation (HTE) has proven to be the most effective tool in significantly accelerating development of new catalytic processes. As a result, the time to market for products based on renewable raw materials can be significantly reduced. At hte, we are the world’s leading provider of solutions for lab-scale R&D workflows.
