Hybrid system for co2 conversion by solar energy in a photo-electrochemical device ('COCON')

Objectif

This proposal relates to a technology development where CO2 and water are converted to hydrocarbons and H2 by means of solar energy in a photo-electromechanical device. The proposed technology can make a significant contribution to the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions for the EU as required by the Kyoto protocol. A consortium bringing together fundamental materials research and industrial expertise will carry out the project. The principal project deliverable is a prototype of a photo-electrochemical device capable of converting CO2 and water into O2, H2 and hydrocarbons with an efficiency of more than 10%. In addition, studies will be performed and reported looking at alternative concepts and techno-economical feasibility.
