In recent years, TU Delft and TNO have laid the foundation for cleaner production processes in the chemical industry. The new e-Chem partnership is now taking this a step further by actually constructing a clean factory of the future.

The coming years will be crucial in this respect. These are some of the most important conclusions from the IPCC report published today.
