Wind Industry Profile of

Unique test facility comprising a bioreactor and electrolyzer under construction in Marl, Germany / High-value specialty chemicals produced from CO2 and water using electricity from renewable sources and bacteria / Rheticus II will receive funding of around €3.5 million from Germany's Federal Ministry of Education and Research

Evonik and Siemens today launched their joint research project Rheticus II. The goal is to develop an efficient and powerful test plant that will use carbon dioxide (CO2) and water as well as electricity from renewable sources and bacteria to produce specialty chemicals. In the Rheticus I project, the two companies worked for two years to develop the technically feasible basis for artificial photosynthesis using a bioreactor and electrolyzers.... ...
