ChemistryNL has made a total of €5 million available through three new subsidy calls for public-private partnership projects in the areas of water quality, biobased raw materials and carbon capture and utilisation (CCU). Researchers and companies can submit applications until September 16, 2025, 14:00 for innovation projects in three crucial themes for a sustainable future.
Water Quality and Monitoring
Innovations aimed at improving water quality are essential for a sustainable future. Research proposals can focus on:
- Sustainable separation techniques that use little energy and chemicals
- Industrial process optimization to minimize waste streams
- Advanced sensor technologies for better monitoring of water flows
Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU)
To combat climate change, there is an urgent need for technologies that can capture CO₂ and convert it into valuable products. Proposals can focus on:
- Innovative technologies for efficient CO₂ capture
- New methods to convert captured CO₂ into valuable products
- Integration of CCU technologies with renewable energy sources
Biobased Raw Materials for Circular Materials
This call stimulates research into the conversion of biobased raw materials into sustainable biobased chemicals for materials. Research proposals can focus on:
- Conversion of biomass into platform chemicals and specialty chemicals
- Development of building blocks for sustainable biobased materials
- Innovative processes for processing first and second generation biobased raw materials (with preference for second generation)
Young researchers and SMEs: seize your opportunity!
The TKI specifically encourages young researchers and SMEs to submit applications. The subsidy calls offer an excellent opportunity to further develop your innovative ideas in collaboration with knowledge institutions and companies.
