Green Innovative Photocatalytic systems for CO2 Utilization to produce e- fuelS - GRIPHUS

Project summary

GRIPHUS aims to produce e-fuels by valorizing CO2 using advanced photocatalytic membrane reactors. The project will design, build, operate, and validate a lab-scale prototype of an advanced photocatalytic process assisted by membranes. It focuses on CO2 reuse as a carbon carrier in the fuel cycle, producing e-fuels like methanol through hydrogenation with green hydrogen. The project combines experimental and theoretical activities, including multiscale modeling and quantum chemical simulations. GRIPHUS promotes e-fuel production with positive environmental impacts, fostering a circular economy in the EU. It redefines CO2 as a resource for green-chemicals and e-fuels, enhancing photocatalytic reaction efficiency and providing sustainable solutions. The project's results will benefit SMEs and large industries, driving innovation and commercialization in the e-fuels sector.
