Description du projet
Hydrogénation au CO2 pour obtenir du méthanol en guise de carburant renouvelable
Il est urgent de se tourner vers des énergies propres et renouvelables pour assurer un avenir résilient au changement climatique. Les coopérations internationales entre les chercheurs, les institutions et l’industrie revêtent une importance cruciale à cet égard. Le projet LAURELIN, financé par l’UE, facilitera les collaborations et les échanges de connaissances entre huit partenaires européens et deux partenaires japonais en ce qui concerne le développement de systèmes catalytiques multifonctionnels révolutionnaires axés sur l’amélioration des facteurs limitants: sélectivité, rendement et besoins énergétiques. Le projet permettra en particulier de procéder à l’hydrogénation du CO2 pour obtenir du méthanol destiné à faire office de carburant renouvelable, grâce à trois nouvelles technologies de synthèse avancées (induction magnétique, induction plasma non thermique et technologies micro-ondes). LAURELIN favorisera également les innovations de pointe dans les domaines des biocarburants avancés et des carburants renouvelables alternatifs, en renforçant les technologies européennes et japonaises.
Objectif
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.
