CO2 valorisation into electrofuels (eFuels) production with the integration of the NETmix technology and electrolysis

E-fuels can be produced by utilizing CO2 as an alternative carbon feedstock and green hydrogen (H2) generated from water electrolysis powered by sustainable, renewable electricity sources, driving further decarbonization efforts. This PhD research focuses on leveraging the excellent mixing properties of NETmix technology to enhance the electrocatalytic processes involved in e-fuel production, such as alcohols from CO2 electroreduction and green hydrogen, in collaboration with the LSRE-LCM research center at FEUP. The project will explore the use of low-temperature electrolytic cells (electrolysers) not only for green hydrogen production but also for CO2 reduction to alcohols, integrating NETmix technology into these processes.
