hte – the high throughput experimentation company has been awarded a contract by the technical university ETH Zurich to provide a high throughput test system designed for CO2 electroreduction.
Global awareness of the urgency and importance of mitigating the detrimental effects of climate change coupled with increasing global energy demand has led to the development of forefront clean technologies for energy generation and conversion as well as for the valorisation of CO2 from various industrial sectors. Electrocatalysis could make a major contribution to each of these endeavours.
This is reflected in the emphasis that hte has put on developing technologies such as this fully integrated multiple electrochemical cell unit for CO2 electroreduction. For this purpose, hte uses a modular design approach to customise its proprietary technologies to the needs of its customers.
“After a thorough examination of the various bids, hte’s solution emerged as the right choice due to its added value. The combination of an adaptable electrochemical cell, seamless software integration, and the sampling of dissolved gaseous products highlights hte's innovation and technical prowess, notably incorporating our idea for a parallel testing unit for CO2 electroreduction. This solution aligns with national initiatives aimed at advancing electrocatalytic technologies for sustainable chemicals production, offering unparalleled capabilities with the potential to set new standards in the field”, said Prof. Javier Pérez-Ramírez, ETH Zurich.
Wolfram Stichert, CEO at hte, added: “For many years we at hte have been committed to a more sustainable world by developing forefront technological solutions that embrace energy transition. This commitment is reflected in the provision of a high throughput unit to ETH in the emerging yet promising field of electrocatalysis, with its potential to generate clean and sustainable energy.”
