Last Thursday, the final review meeting for the FlowPhotoChem project brought together an exceptional team of experts, marking the successful completion of this pioneering European research initiative. This meeting concluded a collaborative effort involving several leading European institutions, all working toward a sustainable future by developing innovative technology to convert CO₂ into valuable chemicals using sunlight.
Representatives from the Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA), including Project Officer Kristina Bole, and external expert Guy Baret joined the consortium members in reviewing the project’s accomplishments. FlowPhotoChem has focused on creating advanced methods to convert CO₂ into essential materials like ethylene, a key component in plastics, using solar energy. This initiative promises to reduce dependence on fossil fuels by harnessing renewable energy and cutting-edge catalysis.
HG Energy is proud to have contributed to the project alongside our remarkable partners: the University of Galway, HG-energy ITQ-UPV/CSIC Universitàt Politècnica de Valencia, ICIQ, EPFL, University of Szeged, Johnson Matthey, MEMBRASENZ, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, DLR, LEITAT Technological Center, University of Amsterdam, Kyambogo University, SoHHytec, eChemicles, and Pintail. Together, we’ve tackled critical challenges in light management, reactor efficiency, and catalyst durability.
