Planned activities ChemistryNL for 2023:

• Matchmaking ECCM, results call, start joint projects.
• Follow-up on the international collaboration part of the NGF proposal on Batteries (in the form of a joint graduate school?
• Launching the joint research proposals on joint call Electrochemical materials and processes for green hydrogen and green chemistry
• Further align and create partnerships between the larger innovation and upscaling programmes in Germany and the Netherlands:

Germany	Netherlands
Kopernikus Project Power2X and Project Synergy	ECCM: E-refinery, HyScaling, HydroHub, VoltaChem, ARC CBBC, AMCEL, EIRES, MCEC
Carbon2Chem	GroenvermogenNL, FutureCarbonNL
H2Giga – focuses on optimizing the production process of electrolysers	GroenvermogenNL – WP1, NextGenHightech
TransHyDE –  investigates the  possibilities for hydrogen transport at short and long distances.	GroenvermogenNL – WP2
H2Mare – works on the production of green hydrogen and other PtX-products from wind directly offshore	GroenvermogenNL – upscaling programme

What does ChemistryNL aim to achieve with Germany in the medium/long term:
Intensify collaboration on green hydrogen and electrochemical conversion processes between Germany and The Netherlands. Both countries are committed to net zero emissions in 2050 and getting there will be an enormous challenge. We need to solve the distribution and storage issues inherent to renewable energy sources like wind and solar. We need to develop technologies and infrastructure to produce fuels and other energy carriers, materials and chemical products from (green) feedstocks using renewable energy. To make green hydrogen a commercially viable option, the brightest minds from science and industry need to partner.
