Project Description
Gasfuels Project aims to develop an efficient process for the continuous production of methane using two distinct catalytic systems: catalytic thin films (e.g., Ni-based catalysts) and a biphasic catalytic system (e.g., Ru nanoparticles). The project focuses on:
•Developing Thin Catalytic Films for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and CO₂ methanation reactions.
•Validating Innovative Prototypes utilizing NetMIX technology for methane production through experimental proof of concept.
•Optimizing the Process and Benchmarking to enhance efficiency, scalability, and performance.
Main Outcomes
•Developed a Scalable Prototype Unit for synthetic fuel production, capable of producing methanol or methane depending on the catalytic system implemented.
•Successfully Immobilized Effective Catalytic Films to enhance reaction efficiency and stability.
•Validated the Developed Technology through experimental proof of concept.
•Achieved Continuous Production of 0.44 kg CH₄/day from CO₂ hydrogenation.
•Demonstrated Catalyst Stability, maintaining performance over 100 hours of continuous operation.
