Highly Efficient Reactor for Conversion of CO2 and H2O to Carbon Neutral Fuels and Chemicals

提出了一种新的，高效的技术，使合成碳中性燃料和化学品从二氧化碳和水使用可再生能源。该方法基于一种创新的反应器技术，该技术可为碳中性燃料和化学品生产具有成本效益的绿色前体。该技术能够在要求不高的低温下运行，具有前所未有的效率，克服了现有技术的许多关键挑战，利用了材料和反应器工程的根本性创新。模块化，易于扩展的反应器设计可以集成/耦合到许多技术价值链，工艺和工业部门，提供了一条可持续的净零排放途径，并实现欧洲脱碳目标。这是能源密集型行业的一项跨领域的变革性技术，同时保持了过去对现有基础设施（例如下游碳氢化合物加工，发电技术，汽车工业）的投资价值。因此，它包括一个真实的“公正的过渡”，一个“不让任何人掉队”的过渡，因为它不会通过使这些部门的专业化和有能力的欧洲劳动力边缘化来破坏社会结构。该联盟由来自五个国家的七个合作伙伴组成，包括一所知名大学，一家国际领先的能源公司，一家专业材料和化学品公司，一家多技术可再生能源开发商以及三家清洁能源和移动以及先进电子领域的创新型中小企业。

A novel, highly efficient technology, to enable the synthesis of Carbon Neutral Fuels and Chemicals from CO2 and H2O employing renewable energy is proposed. The approach is based on an innovative reactor technology that produces cost-effectively green precursors for Carbon Neutral Fuels and Chemicals. The technology enables operation at non-demanding, low temperatures with unprecedented efficiency that overcomes many of the key challenges of existing technologies, exploiting radical innovations in materials and reactor engineering. The modular, easily scalable, reactor design can be integrated in/ coupled to a number of technological values chains, processes and industrial sectors, providing a sustainable pathway to net zero and achieving the European decarbonization goals. This is a cross-cutting, transformative technology for energy intensive industries, while maintaining the value of past investments in existing infrastructures (e.g. in downstream hydrocarbon processing, power generation technology, automotive industry). As such it consists of a real “just transition”, one that “leaves no one behind” as it does not disrupt the fabric of the society by marginalizing the specialized and capable European workforce in these sectors. The consortium consists of seven partners from five countries and includes a well-known university, an internationally leading energy company, a specialized materials and chemicals company, a multi-technology renewable energy developer and 3 innovative SMEs in clean energy & mobility and advanced electronics.
