The future chemical industry will be green. Raw materials will become scarce. Sustainable business operation will be key. Together with the industry, TNO works to render the chemical industry future-proof. By focusing on our USPs – Process Intensification, Biobased Economy and Sustainability Management – we support the chemical industry in making the transition to a more sustainable future.

The chemical industry now has the opportunity to reinvent itself. Tomorrow’s chemical industry will be compact, distributed, modular and flexible, using cutting-edge technologies. It will be cost-effective and clean. That is why TNO is working on breakthrough innovations to make chemical products and processes sustainable. And cost-effective. Consequently, we are pushing the limits of process intensification and shared R&D. TNO has access to an extended network of government agencies, private companies and research institutions worldwide. We believe that bringing these together in shared R&D and dedicated consortia creates the synergy and added value needed to achieve a sustainable chemical industry. We believe in shared investment, shared risk and shared R&D. In Provide! we make it happen.
Lower energy consumption and scarcity of materials in the chemical industry. It will take vision, innovation and the right moment. At TNO we continuously work on sustainable value chains to enable the transition to a fully sustainable chemical industry. We think it can be done. To make sure, we devised the Sustainability Management concept, offering all the contingency roadmaps to the future that are available to green-oriented chemical companies. Because the future will be all about sustainability. Our technology base, extensive facilities and expert network allow us to compose multidisciplinary teams that act as innovation directors able to cope with any issue. Whether it’s a question of linking paint manufacturers to algae farmers to boost the biobased economy, or the design and building of custom-made continuous flow technology, we are always looking for surprising combinations to support the chemical industry in the transition to sustainability.
