This project is a collaboration between EMAT of the University of Antwerp, QSP of the KU Leuven, research center VITO, and ELCAT, funded by VLAIO and CATALISTI. The aim of this project is to convert CO2 to ethylene using electrochemistry. This will give more insight into other pathways for carbon capture and utilisation applications. We …

Intensification of CO2 capture processes (CAPTIN-2) Lees verder »
In light of the climate challenges by which humankind is currently faced, CO2 capture and conversion has emerged as one of the best ways to proceed and curb the ever-increasing CO2 levels in the atmosphere.
The project aims at developing innovative continuous flow technologies with as prospective industrial implementation. Flow technology is especially useful for continuous processes and can be implemented at different levels going from efficient and economic screening of process conditions to process intensification.

The objective of the project is to combine photo- and electrochemistry into a photo-electrocatalytic approach to convert CO2 into methanol.
Alkane dehydrogenation is a central reaction not only in current chemical industry, but also in the revalorization of polyolefin waste feedstock. Dehydrogenation is endothermic and at high temperature (> 500°C) faces selectivity challenges
In light of climate change, we started in 2018 with the IOF SBO STACkED project that aims at identifying the most optimal CO2 electrolyzer configuration. The results direct obtained from this project have in October 2019 led to the start of a patent application process with the De Clercq & Partners patenting agency to protect the CO2 electrolyzer configuration.
Catalysis is a key technology to achieve more efficient and greener organic synthesis. Complementary expertise on the development of new (homogenous and heterogeneous) catalysts (redox, photo and electrocatalysis) will be brought together with organic synthesis know-how in one center.
In order to limit the effects of global warming, introduction of CO2 capture technology is absolutely and urgently required. However, the high cost and technological limitations of available CO2 separation technologies restrict their successful and general industrial deployment in the CO2 capture and utilization (CCU) context.
In this short project, we aim at the development of new and more efficient, sustainable and economically viable CO2 capture and separation technology.
