The potentialities of this collaboration
Indeed, and it is worth noting, traditional chemical separation processes require substantial energy to operate and significant capital investment. Therefore, the drive for energy-efficient and cost-effective alternatives is of critical importance; specifically, to achieve carbon emission reduction objectives outlined in the Paris Climate Agreement.
Moreover, through this collaboration, both companies will apply their world-class expertise in advanced separation and precision-engineered materials; mainly, to develop novel solutions that can displace incumbent technologies longer-term while working towards near-term commercial targets.
In fact, NuMat is a platform chemistry design company, innovating high-performance computing, data engineering, and chemistry to deliver transformational solutions; particularly, to the chemicals, industrials, electronics, and life-science sectors. Besides, it is a pioneer in the field of Programmable Chemistries, including Metal-Organic Frameworks.
Reception at NuMat and Sumitomo
In this regard, Ben Hernandez, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at NuMat Technologies, commented; “Indeed, we’re proud to partner with Sumitomo Chemical in unleashing the potential of Programmable Chemistries; particularly, to address complex sustainability challenges in the chemicals industry.”
Besides, “Sumitomo Chemical and NuMat are joined by a shared mission to use chemistry in solving the problems that matter,” continued Hernandez. Also, “I’m excited at the innovation opportunities our collaboration can unlock.”
On the other hand, Sumitomo Chemical is a leading Japanese chemical company with the mission to drive societal impact and solve environmental challenges through technology. Moreover, the Company has been exploring new opportunities to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
In this sense, Junpei Tsuji, Associate Officer, General Manager of Research Planning and Coordination Department at Sumitomo Chemical, said; “We are pleased to tackle the emission reduction challenges in the chemical industry with NuMat. Moreover, this partnership is aligned with our carbon-neutral strategy and intentions. Besides, we are looking forward to exploring the synergies from working with NuMat, allowing us; particularly, to accelerate and enhance the discovery, development, and delivery of innovative separation solutions that require less energy.
