Flemish Government Approves Four Moonshot Demonstration Projects for Sustainable Industry
The Flemish Government has approved four demonstration projects under the Moonshot program aimed at advancing sustainable industry practices. These initiatives focus on innovative technologies in renewable energy and CO₂ reduction, including a polyurethane recycling pilot, an electrified reactor for steam cracking, a high-temperature heat pump, and a dry cathode electrolysis stack for green hydrogen production. Collectively, these projects are designed to bridge the gap between research and industrial implementation while significantly reducing carbon emissions.

The Flemish Government has approved four projects that will demonstrate results from the Moonshot program on a larger scale, contributing to the transition to a sustainable, circular, and climate-neutral industry. These projects focus on the experimental pilot or demonstration phase of innovative technologies in renewable energy, circular materials, and CO₂ reduction, bridging the gap between research and industrial implementation.
The projects include: 1. PURE-SCALE, which will build a pilot facility to test polyurethane recycling technologies, aiming to recycle at least 80% of plastics by 2040 and avoid 1 million tons of CO₂ emissions annually. 2.
PROMETHEUS, introducing an electrified reactor for steam cracking in the chemical industry, potentially saving 2.6 million tons of CO₂ per year in Antwerp. 3. Upheat-B2I, demonstrating a high-temperature heat pump for industrial applications up to 200°C, focusing on electrification and CO₂ reduction. 4. HYDRA, developing a dry cathode electrolysis stack for green hydrogen production, resulting in pure and dry hydrogen gas.
