Dear reader,
It is terrific to get back to “normal”, to meet each other in person and to share our scientific ideas, knowledge and experiences more thoroughly. Let’s hope that it stays like this! That being said, I am delighted, also on behalf of e-Refinery Institute management team, to welcome you to our second newsletter of this year. This newsletter contains the latest developments, events and activities within the e-Refinery Institute. If you have any news that you would like to share with our community in our next newsletter, please do not hesitate to reach us. I hope you have a good time reading this newsletter!

| Davide Ripepi wins Delft Best Energy Paper Award and e-Refinery Best Paper |
| The work of this paper is based from an intuition from Prof. Fokko Mulder, who initially came up with a strategy for direct electrolytic ammonia synthesis at ambient conditions. Through the adoption of a hydrogen permeable electrode, Davide Ripepi and co-authors have demonstrated a novel strategy for direct electrolytic ammonia synthesis from N₂, H₂O, and renewable electricity at ambient conditions. |

| Development of a Conceptual Framework for Evaluating the Flexibility of Future Chemical Processes |
| The increasing penetration of renewables and the need for developing new low-carbon technologies will increase the demand for flexibility in chemical processes. what is exactly meant by flexibility? This recently published paper by Jisiwei (Jessie) Luo presents a state-of-the-art review focusing on the origin, definition, and elements of flexibility in the chemical engineering context. The article points out a significant overlap in terminology and concepts, making it difficult to understand and compare flexibility potential and constraints among studies. |
