Project description
Advanced catalysts for sustainable jet fuel
The global aviation sector has set a course towards meeting the climate objectives of the Paris Agreement. In this context, the EU-funded 4AirCRAFT project will develop the next generation of stable and selective catalysts for the direct CO2 conversion into liquid fuels for the aviation industry. The project will integrate three main reactions into one, allowing the production of sustainable jet fuel at low temperatures. This advanced technology will decrease greenhouse gas emissions and restrict dependence on fossil fuel-based resources. The project will integrate and exploit biocatalysts, inorganic nanocatalysts, electrocatalysts, and their controlled spatial distribution within application tuned catalyst carrier structures that are based on metal-organic frameworks and engineered inorganic scaffolds with hierarchical porosity distribution.
