The more efficient reactions are, the more sustainable chemistry becomes. Working together with partners from the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis, a group of researchers at Evonik have recently achieved a notable feat—the direct production of the important industrial chemical adipic acid. This breakthrough was even showcased in an article in the journal Science
Direct Synthesis
A fantastic shortcut

Carbon2Chem: Raw materials from exhaust gases
Using the emissions of the steel industry to produce plastics: That’s the longterm
goal of Evonik and its partners in the collaborative project Carbon2Chem. To reach this goal, they are working with higher alcohols such as ethanol—and catalysts that are being developed in Hanau.
