The transition to a sustainable, circular society requires technological breakthroughs, so there can never be too many idea on how to get there. Many institutes and companies are conducting research to develop new, innovative processes. Turning these ideas into large-scale applications is often the hardest part. Small, start-up companies usually lack the resources to build larger installations. On the other hand, investors are often hesitant to put money into innovations they perceive as too risky. Also known as the infamous “valley of death”!
Plant One Rotterdam is a unique innovation center that helps entrepreneurs turn their innovations into reality: from idea to large-scale practical application. Plant One provides all the necessary facilities to demonstrate and optimise new processes at pilot scale. At the Rotterdam location, the focus is on themes such as chemical recycling (including pyrolysis and dissolution), electrification, and energy efficiency.
