| Farewell to Bernard Dam due to retirement |
| Bernard has a major role in the e-Refinery institute, from its inception to today, but that will soon be behind us. Because after 14 years at TU Delft, he is saying goodbye to TU Delft and e-Refinery to enjoy his retirement. Together with him, we look back. |

| ERC Starting Grant for CO2 recycling in chemical industry |
| Turning large concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) into products for the chemical industry. That is what Tom Burdyny wants to achieve. The technique that makes this possible is called electrolysis, a process that makes new chemical compounds using electricity. He receives an ERC Starting Grant for this. |

| David Vermaas about CO2 storage for negative emissions |
| On NPO1's radio program 'Spraakmakers Uitzendbureau', David Vermaas talks about the role of CO2 storage, and why it is necessary to meet climate goals. With the Porthos project, a lot of capacity is needed, and we are also learning about CO2 storage for negative emissions. With that, we can actively remove CO2 from the air. Only in Dutch. |

| Towards Higher NH3 Faradaic Efficiency: Selective-Poisoning of HER Active Sites by Co-Feeding CO in NO Electroreduction |
| Direct electroreduction of nitric oxide offers a promising avenue to produce valuable chemicals, such as ammonia, which is an essential chemical to produce fertilizers. Direct ammonia synthesis from NO in a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyser is advantageous for its continuous operation and excellent mass transport characteristics. However, at a high current density, the faradaic efficiency of NO electroreduction reaction is limited by the competing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this article, Min Li et.al. report a CO-mediated selective poisoning strategy to enhance the faradaic efficiency (FE) towards ammonia by suppressing the HER. |
