LAURELIN celebrates first year of research with advances in making the production of e-methanol more efficient
On 13 and 17 May 2022, the consortium of the LAURELIN project gathered online to celebrate the first year of research and took stock of the progress made so far. Three Work Packages outlined their work in finalising the construction of three reactors for CO2 conversion to methanol, using microwave, non-thermal plasma induction and magnetic induction.
The consortium will continue to fine-tune these novel reactors to make them operable at higher pressure. Now more than 100 samples of new catalyst materials will be tested and compared to conventional thermal hydrogenation.
This meeting is an important step in the project and is a stepping stone for the next three promising years, which will see an acceleration of the testing work of the new catalyst materials. The next meeting is expected to take place during the Fall 2022 in a physical format.
