Scale circular chemicals through waste valorization (biomass, Plastic Waste, ..)

Account manager at ZEOPORE TECHNOLOGIES NV

Leuven, Belgium

About

Today, the chemical industry primarily uses fossil-based feedstock. The process of extraction, refining and conversion of feedstock to chemical products contributes to high greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.  Consequently, the European chemicals industry is in heavy weather as regulatory burdens and high energy costs are tightening margins and slowing down competitiveness on a global scale.

Like in the established oil refinery and adjacent chemical industry, zeolite catalysts will become the workhorse of the plastic-waste refinery, for example in cracking reactions. Zeopore has patented a unique mesoporization technology, whereby any zeolite available on the open market can be upgraded to optimize the conversion efficiency or product selectivity of the catalyst.

Zeopore holds strong competitive advantage through low capex, low operating costs, no harmful chemicals and proprietary industrial processing (TRL LEVEL: 6-7).
