Development of a photoelectrocatalytic tandem reactor (TPER) to manufacture chemical products from renewable energies based on CO2, water and sunlight<\/strong>, integrating the capture and conversion of CO2 in a single dispositive.<\/p>\n

The SunCoChem<\/strong> project, led by Eurecat, aims to provide the chemical industry with an alternative to produce oxo-chemicals without using raw materials derived from carbon or oil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Based on the single-unit CO2 capture and conversion architecture<\/strong> to design a self-sufficient device, SunCoChem’s innovation manages to reduce costs, reduce CO2<\/sub> emissions and improve the efficiency of converting energy from sunlight to chemicals. In addition, the project-driven solution will have a significant impact in reducing the dependence of the European Chemical Industry (ECI)<\/a> on carbon raw materials.<\/p>\n

The photoelectrocatalytic tandem reactor (TPER<\/strong>) developed by the project will be validated in an industrial plant where the conversion of anthropogenic CO2 emissions will be carried out to produce 3 value-added chemicals, which until now have been created using fossil fuels , and demonstrate that CO2 can be reused as a raw material in a sustainable and competitive way.<\/p>\n

SunCoChem, which counts with the participation of Eurecat through the Chemical Technology Unit<\/a>, the Waste, Energy and Environmental Impact Unit (WEEI)<\/a> and the Consultancy Department<\/a>, is formed by a consortium\u00a0 of 14 partners from eight European countries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
