Strategic considerations
• Create focus and critical mass
• Share world-class infrastructure
• Provide excellent teaching
environment in BSc, MSc and PhD
education, jointly for both
universities

Knowledge valorisation –
Yellow Diesel BVYellow Diesel was founded in 2007
by Gadi Rothenberg and the UvA
Holding B.V., the holding company
of the University of Amsterdam.
We design new biodiesel processes
based on heterogeneous catalysis.
The company employs four people
and is based in SciencePark
Amsterdam.
Our IP is based on understanding
the reactions on the catalyst
surface.
