Next-Generation Self-Supported Electrocatalysts for Direct Conversion of Flue Gas into Ethylene (FG2E)

Objective

Capturing emitted CO2 from industrial processes and valorizing that through electrochemical processes to high-value chemicals, which are largely demanded in different sectors, is a promising measure to address environmental challenges and expedite the green transition. However, a fully featured CO2 electrolyzer, as the cornerstone of this process, is the unmet need in this pathway. Such electrolyzers, in particular, critically lack core functional elements of the machine with high durability and electrochemical activity, as well as a precise structure to improve the system operation at the lowest operation and capital costs. This project (FG2E) proposes and validates a game-changing approach for optimal design and fabrication of these elements for CO2 electrolyzers, which will be very promising not only for CO2 electrolysis processes but also any other electrochemical processes critically needing such optimally designed and manufactured elements. FG2E will push boundaries of state-of-the-art through a) proposing its innovative CO2 electrolysis element at optimal structure, b) developing the fundamental theories and models covering the entire process from structural optimization to fabrication, and c) experimentally validating its performance and simulation results. The project contributes to SDG-7 on clean & affordable energy; SDG-9 on industry innovation & infrastructure; and SDG-13 on climate action.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

HORIZON-TMA-MSCA-PF-EF - HORIZON TMA MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
