LAURELIN’s consortium met for the first-time face-to face to assess its progress and plan the next steps

On October 17th and 18th, our consortium met in Valencia, hosted by our coordinator AIMPLAS and partner ITQ, to assess the progress we made the last 6 months and draft our action plan for the next semester.

We discussed our different work packages and the following developments:

👉catalyst systems development for renewable methanol synthesis

👉hydrogenation technologies: microwave, plasma induction, magnetic induction and conventional thermal heating

👉reaction mechanism for the synthesized catalysts

👉conceptual process design and environmental, regulatory & economic analysis

👉dissemination and exploitation

We also had the pleasure to visit AIMPLAS’ and ITQ’s premises.

After these 2 days of fruitful meeting, we all went back home, more motivated than ever, to carry on aiming at our common objective: improving green methanol production!
