AkzoNobel en Photanol gaan proces ontwikkelen om chemicaliën te maken met behulp van zonlicht

AkzoNobel and cleantech company Photanol have teamed up to develop a process for harnessing the power of the sun to make chemicals. The two companies will work on creating sustainable technology which mimics the way plants use photosynthesis. The aim is to produce "green" chemical building blocks that will eventually replace raw materials AkzoNobel currently obtains from fossil-based production.
The collaboration is focused on Photanol’s existing proprietary technology, which uses light to directly convert CO₂ from the air into predetermined raw materials such as acetic acid and butanol. The only by-product is oxygen (Press Release AkzoNobel, 17 September 2014).
