| Prof. Arjan Houtepen new science director of e-Refinery |
We are pleased to announce the appointment of Prof. Arjan Houtepen as science director of e-Refinery. Arjan will work closely with e-Refinery's management team to develop the institute's strategy for the coming period, with the aim of breaking new ground, (re)connecting with our base community, and strengthening e-Refinery's visibility.
As part of this strategy, Town Hall meetings will take place in the coming months (see below in this newsletter). Those meetings will help us shape the future of e-Refinery and give you a chance to meet Arjan. |

| Electrolysers, Fuel Cells and Batteries: Analytical Modelling |
Modelling electrolysers, fuel cells and batteries requires, besides electrochemistry, also transport phenomena and multiphase fluid dynamics to describe, for example, the effects of bubbles on electrolysis or droplets on fuel cells. This new textbook, for both MSc students and researchers, focuses on the more physical aspects of the devices crucial to our energy transition.
It can be downloaded for free or printed on demand. |

| Life cycle assessment of hexanoic acid production via microbial electrosynthesis and renewable electricity: Future opportunities |
| Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) is a novel carbon utilisation technology aiming to contribute to a circular economy by converting CO2 and renewable electricity into value-added chemicals. This study of Jisiwei Luo, Mar Pérez-Fortes, Adrie J.J. Straathof and Andrea Ramirez Ramirez presents a cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment (LCA) of hexanoic acid (C6A) production using MES, comparing this production with alternative technologies. It also includes a cradle-to-grave LCA for potentially converting C6A into a neat sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). |
