Description
Sustainable Plasma-driven CO₂ Hydrogenation to Methanol. The mounting CO₂ emissions crisis amplifies the need for novel carbon management solutions. When effectively converted to valuable products such as methanol, CO₂ emerges not only as a solution to the greenhouse effect but also as a cornerstone for a sustainable, circular carbon economy. Employing non-thermal plasma technology for gas conversion offers unrivalled energy efficiency and the potential to be directly powered from renewable energy. This project will develop both the underlying science and engineering advances required to bring this innovation to industrial adoption. This project aims to not only mitigate harmful emissions but convert CO₂ to climate-neutral e-Fuels targeting other hard to abate industries such as shipping. . Scheme: Early Career Industry Fellowships. Field: 4004 - Chemical Engineering. Lead: Dr Zhenbang Cao
