The critical raw materials challenge
Over 90% of chemical and industrial processes
From environmental technologies, petrochemistry, and pharmaceuticals, they heavily depend on catalysts, special materials that speed up or direct chemical reactions without being consumed.
Reliance on catalysts based on scarce metals
Metals such as platinum or iridium are heavily concentrated in certain geographical regions, which impacts commercial value-chains, and create heavy reliance on geopolitical circumstances.
Strategic priority is catalyst innovation
From wider industrial resilience to individual companies’ competitiveness and societal energy transition, novel catalyst are the drivers of growth.
The problem
Catalysts are foundational to modern industries, yet many still depend on scarce, expensive, and strategically concentrated metals. This creates a growing bottleneck for economic resilience and commercial competitiveness. What hinders the field even more are technically obsolete or non-scalable catalyst technologies.
Process issues
Losses of expensive metals in the catalyst production processes, in some cases up to 20% in the scale-up phase
Limited chemistries and customization reduce applicability of catalysts
Product issues
Imperfections of catalyst materials such as agglomerates, which reduces their activity
Structural limitations that hinder durability and lifespan of the products
