SPOTLIGHT Shines Light on Sun-Powered Chemistry
The SPOTLIGHT project, focusing on advancing sunlight-fueled chemistry, is set to showcase groundbreaking developments at ACHEMA. Leveraging the potential of photochemistry, SPOTLIGHT aims to propel the chemical industry towards sustainable practices by harnessing renewable energy sources and eco-friendly feedstocks. Photochemistry has emerged as a crucial facilitator in the chemical industry's transition
Towards the Use of Renewable Syngas for the Decarbonization of Industry
Renewable syngas can replace fossil-fuel based syngas and thereby play an essential role in the decarbonization of industry. We quantify H2 and CO flows required for the transformation of industry towards a net-zero emitting sector. We also undertake a techno-economic analysis, in which we demonstrate that under specific assumptions for the
We participated in Greener Manufacturing Expo 2023
Greener Manufacturing Conference & Expo is the must-attend event for any sustainability focused company looking to reduce the impact of their industrial and manufacturing processes on the environment and global climate change through renewable and circular manufacturing solutions. During this event our Consurtium member TNO participated at the Panel Discussion
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

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
