Descripción del proyecto
Hidrogenación de dióxido de carbono para producir metanol como combustible renovable
Es urgente recurrir a las energías limpias y renovables para garantizar la resiliencia al cambio climático en el futuro. En este sentido, la cooperación internacional de investigadores, instituciones e industria es fundamental. El proyecto LAURELIN, financiado con fondos europeos, permitirá la colaboración y el intercambio de conocimientos entre ocho socios europeos y dos socios japoneses en el desarrollo de sistemas catalizadores innovadores y multifuncionales mediante la mejora de los factores limitantes, a saber: selectividad, rendimiento y requisitos energéticos. En concreto, el equipo del proyecto favorecerá la hidrogenación del dióxido de carbono para obtener metanol como combustible renovable, con tres nuevas tecnologías de síntesis avanzada: inducción magnética, inducción de plasma no térmico y tecnologías de microondas. LAURELIN también fomentará la innovación revolucionaria en biocombustibles avanzados y combustibles renovables alternativos, lo que fortalecerá la tecnología europea y japonesa.
Objetivo
The LAURELIN is a R&D project, with a duration of 48 months, that will be focused on the optimization and improvement of CO2 hydrogenation process, to obtain methanol as renewable fuel (TRL3). Main objectives are related to the improvement of previous discussed limiting factors: selectivity, yield, and energy reqThe LAURELIN is a R&D project, with a duration of 48 months, that will be focused on the optimization and improvement of CO2 hydrogenation process, to obtain methanol as renewable fuel (TRL3). Main objectives are related to the improvement of previous discussed limiting factors: selectivity, yield, and energy requirements. The strategies adopted by LAURELIN project to achieve the planned objectives are basically the following:
a) Research and development in disruptive multifunctional catalyst systems. LAURELIN is focused on methanol synthesis from selective CO2 hydrogenation. A clean process that produces water, CO and methane.
b) New technologies for CO2 hydrogenation. CO2 hydrogenation with very low energy demands will be adressed by introducing three advanced synthesis technologies employing: Magnetic Induction, Non-Thermal Plasma Induction and Microwave technologies. These three technologies are suitable to employ intermittent renewable energy supply systems for selective CO2 hydrogenation, which is based on to convert renewable power energy to chemicals.
One of the most remarkable aspects of the LAURELIN project will be the close collaboration with Japanese partners to share and increase knowledge on catalyst systems (mainly about high porous supports as zeolites) focused on hydrogenation processes, as well as to increase impact by fast future industrial and market deployments. LAURELIN partnership is composed by 10 partners, 8 of them are from 5 EU countries (Spain, United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands and Belgium) and 2 partners are from Japan. Furthermore it is composed by Research Organisations, Higher Education Institutions and SME companies.
