Europe supports 17 innovative projects in my region

Europe’s not far away, somewhere in Brussels, but very near!

Just consider: the European Union supports a remarkable number of projects at Brightlands Chemelot Campus, in the heart of the Meuse-Rhine Euregion.These are projects involving serious money and with quite some relevance for society as a whole.

17. NoNoMeCat

BLOG KLAAS BOS 44

17. NoNoMeCatThe substitution of common catalysts, in particular the noble metals ruthenium, osmium, rhodium, iridium, palladium, and platinum. These are toxic, (therefore) bad for environment, scarce and (therefore) expensive. The research is aimed at their replacement by metals such as manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, and copper, which are less toxic and less scarce.
