SunCoChem

SunCoChem is a H2020 EU-funded project, coordinated by Eurecat Technology Centre, which aims to address the need of the European Chemical Industry to reduce their dependence on carbon feedstock by producing highly competitive and integrated solutions enabling the carbon-neutral production of energy and high-value chemicals. The project is developing a photoelectrocatalytic tandem reactor to manufacture valuable chemical oxo-products from renewable energies based on CO2, H2O and solar energy. This is being achieved by process intensification coupling a solar-driven carbon dioxide reduction to CO/water oxidation to O2 with CC bond carbonylation reaction catalysed by novel multifunctional hybrid photoelectrocatalysts.
