Descrizione del progetto
L’idrogenazione della CO2 per rendere il metanolo un combustibile rinnovabile
Perché sia possibile garantire un futuro resistente ai cambiamenti climatici, è urgente effettuare una transizione verso un’energia pulita e rinnovabile. A tal fine è di fondamentale importanza la cooperazione internazionale di ricercatori, istituzioni e mondo industriale. Il progetto LAURELIN, finanziato dall’UE, consentirà la collaborazione e lo scambio di conoscenze tra otto partner europei e due giapponesi per quanto concerne lo sviluppo di sistemi di catalizzatori rivoluzionari e multifunzionali mediante il miglioramento di alcuni fattori limitanti: la selettività, il rendimento e il fabbisogno energetico. In particolare, il progetto consentirà di realizzare l’idrogenazione della CO2 per rendere il metanolo un combustibile rinnovabile, avvalendosi di tre tecnologie di sintesi avanzate (induzione magnetica, induzione a plasma non termico e tecniche basate sulle microonde). LAURELIN promuoverà inoltre una rivoluzionaria innovazione nei campi dei biocarburanti avanzati e dei combustibili rinnovabili alternativi, rafforzando la tecnologia di matrice europea e quella giapponese.
Obiettivo
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.
