SYN-CAT: SYNergetic design of CATalytic materials for integrated photo-and electrochemical CO2 conversion processes Catalisti
CO2 conversion
Currently, highly active and selective catalysts are under development to convert CO2 into CO. For the conversion of CO2 into other target chemicals, such as dimethoxy ethane (DME) and methanol (MeOH), further innovations are required.

Dioxide to Monoxide (D2M): Innovative catalysis for CO2 to CO conversion Ghent University
General purpose and fit with the MOONSHOT lenses and MOT KPIs The aim of this project is to research and develop various catalytic technologies for the production of CO as a platform molecule, starting from CO2. New concepts for six different types of catalysis (homogeneous, heterogeneous, electro, plasma, photocatalysis and a chemical looping process) will be investigated.

C²O: Light-Assisted and Thermal Heterogeneous Catalysis for the Direct Conversion of CO2 to Olefins Catalisti
Key building blocks
Light olefins (like ethylene and propylene) are key building blocks for the chemical industry. In Flanders, they are produced on a huge scale. Their production, mostly through steam cracking of naphtha, results in significant CO2 emissions.
From CO2 to olefins
Recently, an ...
SYNergetic design of CATalytic materials for integrated photo- and electrochemical CO2 conversion processes KU Leuven
The overall aim of this project is to create a synergy between photo- and electrochemistry in a photo-electrocatalytic
approach to convert CO2 into methanol. The approach here is twofold. On the one hand, the applicants aspire to develop
more active and more stable catalytic materials compared to the state-of-the-art. On the other hand, the applicants also aim for
improving the productivity of the photoelectrochemical reactor ...
