AlphaCat by T.EN™ sustainable catalysts
As a world leader in silica-based sustainable catalyst development and manufacturing, Technip Energies has established itself as the partner of choice, serving clients from emerging innovators to multinational corporations.
Through close collaboration with catalyst developers and producers across diverse industries, we deliver precision engineered silica supports tailored to exact specifications, including purity, porosity and particle morphology. This customization enables our clients to optimize catalyst performance, enhance operational reliability, and achieve their sustainability objectives.
Our AlphaCat by T.EN™ silica-based sustainable catalyst portfolio delivers proven value across critical applications:
- Renewable Feedstocks – Enabling the conversion of biobased materials into sustainable chemicals and fuels
- Hydrocarbon Processing – Optimizing efficiency in conventional feedstock upgrading and transformation
- Biocatalysis – Supporting enzyme immobilization and biocatalytic processes for green chemistry applications
As industries transition to lower carbon intensity, demand is accelerating for innovative processes that utilize renewable feedstocks as alternatives to conventional hydrocarbons. These emerging renewable pathways require advanced catalysts and catalytic routes that conventional materials cannot sustain effectively.
Technip Energies collaborates closely with catalyst developers and producers worldwide to engineer customized silica-based supports that enhance both catalyst performance and process sustainability, enabling reliable, cost-effective production of low-carbon chemicals and fuels.
There is a rapidly increasing need to improve the sustainability of hydrocarbon-based processes through new and improved catalysts. Technip Energies collaborates with some of the world’s largest chemical and catalyst companies to develop optimized catalysts using silica-based supports to improve overall performance, increase product yields and reduce energy requirements.
Driven to ensure that precious hydrocarbon feedstocks are used efficiently and reduce energy requirements, we tailor clients’ catalysts to enhance conversation rates, increase yields and reduce overall energy consumption.
Enzymes are complex organic molecules that require specialized support materials for optimal performance. The biocatalysis market has rapidly grown in recent decades driven primarily by the sustainability advantages these enzymatic routes offer, including lower energy consumption and higher conversion efficiency compared to traditional chemical processes.
While enzymes were initially deployed as homogeneous biocatalysts, the industry is increasingly adopting immobilized enzyme technology. By anchoring enzymes to solid supports, producers can leverage the operational benefits of heterogeneous catalysis in fixed-bed reactors, including simplified separation, catalyst recovery and continuous processing.
Technip Energies' expertise in manufacturing precision-engineered silica materials with tailored particle morphology, pore architecture, porosity and purity positions us as an ideal partner for companies advancing biocatalytic technologies in this high-growth market.
