Project
ELectrochemical OXidation of cYclic and biogenic substrates for high efficiency production of organic CHEMicals is a Horizon Europe project that aims to replace existing chemicals process developing a new electrochemical conversion platform and drop-in technology.
ELOXYCHEM uses renewable industrial feedstocks, as well as waste streams from conventional thermochemical chemicals production, eliminating the current dependence on fossil-derived feedstocks.

The main output will be:
- A first of a kind pilot plant to be used in an industrial environment
As an output of the process, (di)Carboxylic acids with several commercial applications will be produced, such as:
- Coating additives, catalysts, fine chemicals
- Agrochemicals, surfactants, fragrances, dyes
- Polymers for coatings, filaments and engineering materials
