Electrifying Technical Organic Syntheses

~ the first major technology platform that drives the transfer of electroorganic syntheses from the laboratory to industrial scale ~ 


 

 


Since April 1st 2023, the BMBF future cluster "Electrifying Technical Organic Syntheses" (ETOS) is in the first implementation period. ETOS is the first major technology platform that drives the transfer of electroorganic syntheses from the laboratory to industrial scale and aims to generate innovative solutions for sustainable, robust, future-proof processes and products.


The lower part of the Upper Rhine and the Rhine-Main region is one of the most potent chemical regions in Germany, home to some of the world's leading chemical companies. In ETOS, academic and industry players are working together to build an infrastructure for the large-scale establishment of organic electrosynthesis in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. The leading institutions are the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion (MPI CEC) with Prof. Dr. Siegfried R. Waldvogel as spokesperson and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ulrike Krewer as co-spokesperson at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). The Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), TU Darmstadt, RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau and FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg, as well as non-university research institutions, complete the expertise along the research in the field of electrosynthesis.

Kick-off symposium of the ETOS future cluster on September 22, 2023

On September 22, 2023, the first joint symposium of all ETOS participants took place at KIT. More than 80 guests from research and industry attended the meeting, including the members of the steering committee and the international scientific advisory board of ETOS.

The welcoming address was given by Prof. Dr. Oliver Kraft (Vice President for Research at KIT), Prof. Dr. Stefan Müller-Stach (Vice President for Research and Young Scientists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz), Dr. Anastasia Vogel (BMBF), Dr. Dieter Labruier and Nathalie Wiaterek (Projektträger Jülich). The cluster spokespersons, Prof. Dr. Sigfried R. Waldvogel and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ulrike Krewer, then gave an overview of ETOS.

The day was characterized by exciting presentations about the individual projects and lively discussions, finding new synergies and making new contacts. The atmosphere was fantastic and the whole team was highly motivated to develop ideas and technologies around sustainable electroorganic synthesis and to establish it as a key technology in Germany.

We are very much looking forward to the multifaceted collaboration with our partners from research and industry and would like to thank all participants who contributed to this great day.
