Bridging the Gap Between Academia and Chemical Industry through Entrepreneurship: An Account on the Case of Hydrogen-assisted Catalytic Plastic Waste Valorisation

Herein, we provide an account on the multi-faceted approach to scaling up a low-carbon chemical technology that originates from academia. First, we discuss technical considerations that must be met prior to industrialisation of a process. Then, we discuss the non-technical considerations such as fin...

Summary:Herein, we provide an account on the multi-faceted approach to scaling up a low-carbon chemical technology that originates from academia. First, we discuss technical considerations that must be met prior to industrialisation of a process. Then, we discuss the non-technical considerations such as financing, regulatory and IP rights that are required to obtain support for the project. We use our experience in plastic waste hydrocracking to reflect on strategies that can aid to improve go-to-market time in the field.
