Sustainability analysis from a life cycle perspective: the environmental, social and economic impacts of solar chemicals

2023-12-18T08:55:24+00:00December 1st, 2023|Uncategorized|

FlowPhotoChem (FPC) is an EU-funded research project that aims to design, develop, and translate to market new materials (photoabsorbers, catalysts, membranes) and flow reactors which can use solar energy and CO2 to produce non-fossil chemical feedstock and high-value chemicals, such as hydrogen (H2) and ethylene (C2H4), through more efficient management of sunlight, more efficient reactors, and longer-lasting catalysts. The FPC system combines three types of flow reactor modules, namely Photoelectrochemical (PEC), Photocatalytic (PC), and Electrocatalytic (EC), producing mainly H2, CO and C2H4, respectively, focusing on efficiency, scalability, and sustainability to minimise resources use and waste generation and meet the increasing demand [...]

FlowPhotoChem Kickoff Press Release

2023-09-13T12:58:09+01:00June 25th, 2020|Uncategorized|

FlowPhotoChem, a multi-national research project led by NUI Galway, has been awarded €6.99 million in funding under the Nanotechnologies, Advanced Materials, Biotechnology, and Advanced Manufacturing and Processing (NMBP) area of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. The European Green Deal sets out to make Europe climate neutral by 2050, and the Clean Planet for All strategy set out ambitious targets to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the EU by 40% by 2030 and by 80-95% by 2050. One of the largest polluters in Europe is the chemical industry, emitting over 145 million tonnes of CO2 equivalents each [...]
