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 [...]
