Catalysis Connected is a collaboration of four research partners: ARC CBBC, CAPTURE, MCEC, and the Joint Research Center (JRC) for Sustainable and Circular Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. Together we form an international scientific research network.
Catalysis Connected aspires to:
- build a network, relevant to the European industrial landscape
- focus on the exchange of knowledge
- stimulate the collaboration, especially between young researchers
- share the research resources between knowledge institutions
In the Advanced Research Center Chemical Building Blocks Consortium (ARC CBBC), founded in 2016, the companies AkzoNobel, BASF, Nouryon and Shell and the universities of Eindhoven, Groningen and Utrecht are working with the support of the Dutch government and scientists from other academic institutions on far-reaching research to find solutions to counteract greenhouse gas emissions and create a sustainable society.

CAPTURE is an interdisciplinary collaboration between several young and dynamic researchers from Ghent University, VITO, the University of Antwerp and Vrije Universiteit Brussel. CAPTURE clusters expertise, infrastructure and stakeholders in thematic pipelines, developing solutions from waste to resource, to final application.

The Joint Research Center for Sustainable and Circular Chemistry and Chemical Engineering brings together Utrecht University and East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST, Shanghai, China) to advance research in waste and CO₂ valorization, while promoting education and international cooperation in sustainability.
SUNER-C is the EU-funded project (4M € over 3 years) coordination and support action on the next generation of energy carriers to replace fossil-fuels. 30 different EU partners gathered together to work on building an ecosystem of companies, researchers, societal actors and policymakers, to accelerate the transition of technologies for the generation of solar fuels and chemicals, from the laboratory to large-scale industrial applications.

SUNERGY is an open community advocating for solar fuels and chemicals as the new paradigm for a climate-neutral Europe in 2050. The community consists of a wide-range group of experts from industry, academia and society. SUNERGY aims at becoming a large European Research and Innovation initiative working towards the conversion and storage of renewable energy into fossil-free fuels and chemicals.
