Delft IMP

Highly efficient catalysts for the chemical industry

Pitch

Over 90 % of all chemical processes use catalysts, for example to transform oil into usable products such as petrol and Lego. Delft IMP has a patented technology to produce highly efficient catalysts, allowing up to 60 % more usable product to be produced from the same amount of oil. We licence our technology to catalysts producers, in return for 15 % of the increased profit. The catalysts producers implement our technology to produce more efficient catalysts, giving them 40 % more turnover, while allowing their customers, the chemical industry, to have more efficient processes.

Our production technique to produce highly efficient catalysts further enables the transition from an oil­based economy to a bio­based economy, and will result in 2.5 to 5 billion Euro in energy savings when implemented for all catalysts worldwide.
