FlowPhotoChem Coordinator Dr Pau Farras of the University of Galway gave the keynote lecture titled “Electro, Photo and Biocatalysis: Efficient Ways for H2O Oxidation and CO2 Conversion” at the Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) Symposium in Galway on the 13th October 2022. The talk featured a summary of FlowPhotoChem technologies. This meeting explores a family of technologies that aim to decarbonise carbon-intensive processes by chemically capturing the CO2 and locking it into geological structures or products for a long time.

The Global South continues to lag in technology development and deployment. With the fast-evolving nature of the energy sector, it is the right time to establish partnerships and collaborate with the Global North in developing and deploying technologies. At the Renewable Energy Conference (REC22) held in Kololo Independence Park in Kampala, Uganda on November 3rd, 2022, a session featured FlowPhotoChem researchers, innovators, and practitioners from the Global North with their counterparts from the Global South, Kyambogo University discussing avenues of developing and deploying technology. The session's panel consisted of a delegation from FlowPhotoChem, a multi-national, EU-funded project developing new and sustainable [...]

FlowPhotoChem has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 862453. Horizon 2020 is funded with public money. As such, we are making the findings of our publications accessible to a wider audience by posting non-specialist summaries of our work. Prof. Sophia Haussener Dr Etienne Boutin The latest summary was carefully prepared by Dr Etienne Boutin and Professor Sophia Haussener, our partners at the Laboratory of Renewable Energy Science and Engineering (LRESE) at Ecole Polytechnique Federale De Lausanne (EPFL) in Lausanne who collaborated on this body of research with our partners [...]

Stefan D. A. Zondag Special thanks to PhD candidate Stefan Zondag of the University of Amsterdam for kicking things off and setting the bar high with our first FlowPhotoChem publication lay summary. His recent co-authored paper, "Scale-Up of a Heterogeneous Photocatalytic Degradation Using a Photochemical Rotor–Stator Spinning Disk Reactor" gathered a great deal of interest on social media and at a conference as a result of a poster presentation. As a result, Stefan kindly prepared a lay summary of the popular paper describing the importance and relevance of their study in the context of FlowPhotoChem and the photoelectrochemistry field.

Congratulations to Gumaa El-Nagar, Flora Haun, Siddharth Gupta, Sasho Stojkovijk and Matthew T. Mayer of the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin for the award of first prize at the GDCh Electrochemistry 2022 meeting held in Berlin on September 27th- 30th. The prize was awarded for Gumaa's presentation of the study titled: Effects of cation Crossover through Anion Exchange Membranes on the Operation of Zero-gap CO2 electrolysers. The preprint of this study on the impact of unintended cation crossover on CO2RR is now available on https://researchsquare.com/article/rs-2077889/v1 'Electrochemistry' is a successful series of conferences, held every other year. Starting in Gießen (2008), followed by Bochum [...]
