Project description
This project aims to develop an innovative, single-step process for converting CO₂ into ethylene using nanostructured tandem catalysts and membrane reactor technology. By combining advanced catalysis, operando studies, and theoretical modeling, MemCat will enable efficient, high-yield ethylene production from captured CO₂ and green hydrogen—contributing to the EU’s progress toward leadership in sustainable chemical manufacturing.
