Process Intensification for Advanced Catalysts and Sustainable Energy
FY 2023-24
Summary
Our society¿s rising needs for energy is causing greenhouse gas (GHG) increase beyond sustainable limits. Much research is dedicated to GHG capture and conversion into value-added products. Conversion technologies often lack energy efficiency and suffer from catalysts fast deactivation and low selectivity. This CRC targets GHG reduction and energy efficiency using process intensification techniques. The program encompasses a multidisciplinary approach to: (1) design multifunctional catalysts from waste and sustainable source materials, and their use in hybrid reactors to produce renewable energy vectors; (2) provide innovative techniques using alternative energy for materials and renewable energy production. This contributes to the global energy-transition efforts by providing an easily scalable reforming technology, that can efficiently convert GHGs into valuable chemicals.
