ACEA is the biogenic CO2 supplier at Spotlight project
ACEA Pinerolese Industriale spa is an Italian multiutility company, which works in the environmental sector. The entity is part of the SPOTLIGHT project Consortium as CO2 supplier. This biogenic CO2 comes from the anaerobic digestion of OFMSW and the following biogas-to-biomethane upgrading step. The biomethane produced is injected into the
EPFL supports reactor design, operation and performance optimization at SPOTLIGHT
Located in Located in Switzerland, EPFL is one of Europe’s most vibrant and cosmopolitan science and technology institutions. It is therefore an honour for the SPOTLIGHT project to be part of the project consortium. Within the framework of SPOTLIGHT project, EPFL has two roles: to support reactor design, operation and performance
Discover the development of the flow guide that illuminates the reactor homogeneously with sunlight.
Our Consortium member DLR - The Federal Republic of Germany's research centre for aeronautics and space - is responsible for the development of the flux guide that illuminates the reactor homogenously with solar light. Moreover, they are the leaders of the WP3 (Design and manufacturing of reactor, secondary optics and

Spotlight at GASTECH CONFERENCE
This year we will be at Gastech (Singapore, 23 September). A relevant event for our project. The exhibition venue will offer space to showcase the latest innovations in natural gas and LNG, hydrogen, low-carbon solutions and climate technology. Supported by more than 20 country pavilions, the exhibition will have an
Lab exchange: “transfer of lab-scale syntheses to a larger scale”
Lab exchange: "transfer of lab-scale syntheses to a larger scale". A total profit for SPOTLIGHT. Within the SPOTLIGHT project, TNO develops lab-scale wet-chemical syntheses of plasmonic catalysts and analyses their performance in in catalytic processes. Fraunhofer is responsible for the upscaling of the developed lab-scale to large batch syntheses (up to
A reactor equipped with a plasmonic catalyst to produce either methane or carbon monoxide is being developed for operation under concentrated sunlight
In the SPOTLIGHT project, a reactor equipped with a plasmonic catalyst to produce either methane or carbon monoxide is being developed for operation under concentrated sunlight. The SPOTLIGHT consortium will test a prototype in the solar furnace at DLR in Cologne, Germany. Here, a heliostat reflects sunlight upon a concentrator, which

Special Issue “Catalytic CO2 Methanation Reactors and Processes”
The preparation of Ru nanoparticles supported on γ-Al2O3 followed by chemical reduction using RuCl3 as a precursor is demonstrated, and their properties are compared to Ru nanoparticles supported on γ-Al2O3 prepared by impregnation of γ-Al2O3 with Ru3(CO)12 and subsequent thermal decomposition. The Ru nanoparticles resulting from chemical reduction of RuCl3 are slightly larger (1.2 vs. 0.8
