The FlowPhotoChem team met for our third face-to-face meeting in Kampala, Uganda on the 2nd of November 2022. At the meeting, hosted by Kyambogo University, partners gave updates on their work developing the photoelectrochemical, electrochemical and photocatalytic flow reactors, which will be combined into an integrated demonstrator reactor for the production of ethylene. We also continued our life cycle analysis work.
