Video: DLR project FlowPhotoChem – Sustainable production of base chemicals from water and carbon dioxide using concentrated solar radiation
To promote a low-carbon future, Europe needs to develop novel multifunctional photo(electro)catalytic materials integrated into practical and scalable reactors to maintain its technological leadership in chemical manufacturing. With this in mind, the EU-funded FlowPhotoChem project developed and modelled an integrated modular system with improved energy efficiency and negative CO2 emissions. Based on continuous-flow heterogeneous photo(electro)catalytic reactors, the system produces ethylene and other high-value chemicals using abundant resources such as water, carbon dioxide and light. The project results in cost-efficient, small-scale systems for intermittent operation that meet the needs of regions with abundant solar resources and provide them with the possibility for distributed manufacturing.
