F3 Project Update

SusChem stakeholders wanting to catch up with progress on the F³ factory project can download the SusChem-inspired initiative’s first newsletter from the consortium’s website.

Launched last year, the F³ factory is a €30 million FP7 funded initiative that is developing faster, more flexible and efficient manufacturing methods. The project consortium consists of 25 industrial and academic partners.

In the newsletter a number of industrial demonstration projects are described that will be a key focus of activities. Eventually seven projects will cover the range of chemical production capacities from kilogrammes to thousands of tonnes in three key industry sectors: pharmaceutical intermediates, specialty polymers and large-scale intermediates. A number of industrial case studies are also being pursued.
