Scratch-resistance, durability, and smoothness—these are the qualities consumers expect from bottles and jars. To achieve them, glass containers need a protective coating. Using silanes as the foundation, Evonik and its partner TotalEnergies have developed a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional methods

Hydrogen
A Fine Advantage
Green hydrogen is seen as a great hope for the energy sector in the future. A team from Evonik has put a pilot plant into operation in which new high-performance membranes for water electrolysis are now being produced on a large scale. These hold the key to more cost-efficient production of green hydrogen, which industry needs as a building block for decarbonization, and for energy independence as well

Hydrogen
“We need more planning security”
The market for green hydrogen is developing more slowly than expected in Germany and Europe. Dr.-Ing. Ann-Kathrin Klaas from the Institute of Energy Economics at the University of Cologne explains how government regulation and innovative technology can help ensure things pick up speed again

Polyamide
Invisibly green
Polyamide 12 makes products more robust, more durable—and more sustainable. Evonik produces this high-performance polymer in various sustainability levels. The customer decides how much the climate benefits. The inner values of the material always remain the same

Climate Protection
Fragrances from greenhouse gases
The chemical industry is gradually moving away from fossil raw materials. However, the transition to alternative sources poses huge challenges for the industry. In the Power2ValueChemicals project, Evonik is working with partners to test how carbon dioxide can be used for the production of fragrances

Soil Protection
Regaining Ground
Housing is now being built in many places where factories or barracks once stood. However, cleaning contaminated sites is time-consuming and expensive. Various substances from Evonik convert pollutants in the ground into harmless products or bind them in place—and offer a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional remediation methods

Additives
Precision Product
In many parts of the world, crop protection agents will be spread by drones in the future. The new technology places special demands on the spray mixture. Evonik has found a formulation that prevents unwanted drift and distributes the active ingredients as well as possible on leaves

Clean Water
Unevenly distributed water
More and more often, entire regions are drying out—while other regions are being devastated by catastrophic floods. The uneven distribution of water is facing the human race with problems that were previously unimaginable. Good management and technology adapted to local needs can help in the search for a solution

Lipid Nanoparticles
rPEG lipids: Risk-free delivery
From coronavirus vaccines to medicines for cancer, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s disease—the applications for mRNA therapies are numerous and diverse. But how can the fragile RNA be delivered into cells effectively? A team of researchers from the University of Mainz in Germany and Evonik is working jointly to develop the perfect delivery system

Technology
Turning CO₂ into valuable chemicals
Although the word “plasma” might make one think of science fiction, it may very soon be possible to produce chemicals with such electrified gases. A research group coordinated by Evonik is working on the concrete implementation of this idea
