DIY projects for catalysis
“Crafting is an art,” says Dr. Nickl, founder of C&CS. “And for me, tinkering has positive connotations. You can set up catalysis experiments, optimize analytical instruments, invent apparatus, repair many things, and simply help yourself. And it’s fun!” C&CS places great emphasis on the tinkering skills of its employees and operates workshops for mechanics and […]
New catalyst for biomass gasification plants – Successful test in pilot and demonstration plant
New tar reforming catalyst for use in hot gas cleaning of biomass gasification plants The production of biogenic hydrogen from locally available biomass in biomass gasification plants is of great interest with regard to the European Green Deal’s goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 and to net zero by […]
New catalyst for biomass gasification plants
The new catalytic converter C&CS#1250 is on the front right. C&CS research success based on work in the MEMBER and GLAMOUR projects The production of biogenic hydrogen from locally available biomass in biomass gasification plants is of great interest with regard to the goal of reducing CO2 emissions to 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 […]
New iron catalyst: Energy savings in hydrogen liquefaction
Hydrogen is the energy carrier for a green future. We at C&CS GmbH are contributing to green technology and have expanded our research expertise: chemists Dr. Hans-Jürgen Eberle and Dr. Arno Tißler are now working with us on the further development and rapid market readiness of their new catalyst for the accelerated establishment of the […]
Congratulations to the 2024 Nobel laureates in Chemistry!
The scientific community celebrates this year’s Nobel laureates in Chemistry, David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John Bumper, for their groundbreaking contributions to research. These awards underline the importance of their work for the future of chemistry and science in general. David Baker, a professor at the University of Washington, is known for his work […]
All equipment is ready for use in the catalysis laboratory!
Our catalysis lab is now fully operational! A few days ago, colleagues from www.micromeritics.com visited us in Kirchheim and commissioned the AutoChem III. Dominik Kreutzer, head of the C&CS catalysis lab, then carried out his own calibration measurements and is delighted: “With the AutoChem III, we can now carry out measurements on behalf of […]
C&CS at “IConBM2024”
At the International Conference on Biomass in Palermo (IConBM2024 (aidic.it)) on May 20, 2024, first results of a novel catalyst developed within the framework of the EU project MEMBER for Sorption Enhanced Reforming (SER) for steam reforming of tars in a simulated synthesis gas from biomass gasification were presented. The link to the presentation is […]
C&CS at Nanogap metal molecules
During a visit to nanogap in Galicia, Dr. Nickl was amazed by the 5-atom particles with their incredibly precise particle size distribution. Or perhaps clusters, nanoparticles, molecules, metal clusters, or tiny crystals would be more accurate? These unusual chemical and physical properties are being used for quantum dots and pharmaceuticals, and now catalysts are also […]
