FlowPhotoChem's Research Network grows!

2023-08-08T16:50:59+01:00August 8th, 2023|Project News|

FlowPhotoChem partner institutions, the University of Amsterdam, LEITAT and Johnson Matthey, are consortia members in a range of related EU-funded carbon capture research projects. Here, are three of the latest to be funded. Co2smos (Grant Agreement No. 101000790) is developing a platform of technologies to transform CO2 emissions produced by bio-based industries into a set of high-value-added chemicals with direct use as intermediates for biobased products. Specifically, it will create a toolbox combining intensified chemical conversions (electrocatalytic and membrane reactors) and innovative biotechnological solutions based on gas/liquid combined fermentation processes and organic/green-catalysts reaction processes. The Co2smos will contribute to the sustainability [...]

Welcome, new partners SoHHytec and eChemicles

2023-09-08T11:39:23+01:00July 21st, 2023|Project News|

Two SMEs have joined our consortium. We are pleased to add SoHHytec based in Lausanne, Switzerland and eChemicles based in Szeged, Hungary.

HZB-EPFL tandem campaign

2023-09-08T11:00:31+01:00July 7th, 2023|Project News|

The Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin for Materials and Energy (HZB) & the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) carried out a joint campaign at the High flux solar simulator (HFSS), Lausanne in the first week of June 2023. The experiments served as a demonstration for the integration of the PEC (Photoelectrochemical conversion) reactor of WP1 and the EC (Electrochemical conversion) reactor of WP3 to carry out tandem electrolysis of CO2 to CO and CO to hydrocarbons. The weeklong experimental campaign focused on relating the operational conditions of the individual reactors to the performance of the integrated PEC-EC device across various performance metrics.
