Catalysis for CCU: valorisation of CO and CO2 for carbon capture and utilisation.

To sustain our carbon-based standard of living, it is becoming increasingly clear that CCU will play a key role in delivering materials, food, and clean energy storage services. This will require informed policy, education of industry partners, opportunities for researchers to collaborate, and academic symbiosis. We have an impressive level of expertise in Flanders in both biological and chemical (catalytic) conversion of CO2 (which is rather unique). Therefore, we create this Scientific Research Network "Catalysis for CCU" composed of researchers with diverse but complementary backgrounds in the CCU field. Our goal is to build a CCU network relevant to the Flemish/European industrial landscape, focused on sharing best practices and knowledge; stimulating collaboration; exposing young researchers; creating a community; being a go-to place for expertise; and sharing resources that individual researchers and knowledge institutes lack.
