Lumen-project Details
LUMEN is a project of TNO, Hasselt University, Zuyd University, Interuniversitair Microelectronics center Leuven (IMOMEC), Innosyn and Ecosynth, initiated by TNO. The project is supported by the Interreg Flanders-Netherlands program, the Dutch government, and the provinces of North-Brabant (NL), Limburg (NL and VL) and East Flanders (VL). Like all other industries, the chemicals industry too needs to transition from use of fossil fuels to sustainable energy, a good example of which is the electricity generated by wind turbines. LUMEN has its sights set on another source of sustainable energy – the sun. LUMEN is working intensively on a technology concept that will enable sunlight to be used directly as a ‘fuel' for sustainable chemical processes.The project aims to kill two birds with one stone – to switch from fossil fuels to sunlight as a sustainable source of energy, and to reduce CO2 emissions by using the CO2 as a starting material. The project will also examine whether or not the concept of using sunlight in chemical processes can be used in ‘fine chemistry', for the production of medicines for example, in a way that is easier and safer than the current standard.Let us be inspired by nature to help make chemical processes sustainable and future-proof!
