Replacing these substances with safe alternatives is essential for sustainability and the green energy transition. Research proposals can focus on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Replacing PFAS in polymer processing aids and flame retardants<\/li>\n<li>Safer additives for renewable polymers<\/li>\n<li>Alternatives to hazardous solvents in batteries<\/li>\n<li>Replacing chemical building blocks such as formaldehyde and bisphenol-A<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>AI Readiness for the Dutch Chemical Processing Industry<br \/>\nAI has great potential as a disruptive technology for the chemical industry, but its implementation is lagging behind. Targeted R&amp;D projects can remove these barriers. Research proposals could focus on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chemical sensors suitable for AI applications<\/li>\n<li>AI training facilities and digital twins<\/li>\n<li>AI-supported process design and control<\/li>\n<li>Data infrastructure and AI model validation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Sustainable Chemistry: Health, Food Security, and Packaging<br \/>\nSustainability is essential for the growing global population. This call focuses on three pillars, based on the \u201cSafe and Sustainable by Design\u201d principles. Research proposals can focus on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sustainable pharmaceuticals: enzyme-mediated synthesis, smart delivery systems, green solvents<\/li>\n<li>Sustainable food: high-quality fermentation processes, enzymatic extraction, plant-based proteins<\/li>\n<li>Sustainable packaging: improved barrier properties, design-for-recycling, bio-based materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Transformation to sustainable production<br \/>\nThe transformation of the chemical industry to sustainable and low-carbon feedstocks is essential. This call seeks groundbreaking ideas for process technology challenges. Research proposals can focus on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flexible operation for fluctuating electricity supply and feedstock composition<\/li>\n<li>Cost-competitive high-flux reactors for heat exchange at high temperatures (&gt;300\u00b0C)<\/li>\n<li>Integrated process design for increased efficiency and robustness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>More information<br \/>\n<\/strong>If you have any questions, please contact <a href=\"mailto:harmen.veldman@chemistrynl.com\">Harmen Veldman<\/a>, PPS-I coordinator (tel. +31 6 31976594).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Call for projects PPS-I 2026: Sustainable chemistry and circularity ChemistryNL is making nearly \u20ac7.7 million available in the PPP-I 2026 call for public-private partnership projects in the field of sustainable chemistry and circularity.
