项目摘要

As a major contributor to the global CO2 emissions, the commodity chemical industry should be urgently coupled with renewable electricity to become independent from fossil fuel resources. ECOLEFINS aims to establish a new, all-electric paradigm for the electro conversion of CO2 and H2O to light olefins, the key-intermediates for polymers and other daily life chemical products. The proposed concept reverses the heavy CO2 emissions associated to the petroleum-based light olefins production to massive CO2 capture and valorisation for carbon negative ethylene, propylene and butylene. The concept introduces co-ionic ceramic membrane reactors and short stacks/modules that merge the anodic steam electrolysis for hydrogen production with the cathodic CO2 electrolysis and hydrogenation to light olefins, over tailored and nano-engineered electrodes; aiming to develop a substantially more effective technology, for the single step, RES-powered artificial photosynthesis of CO2 to valuable chemicals. This ambition entails a multi-disciplinary task, requiring highly tuned synergies among cutting edge research in the fields of: i) advanced materials science & engineering for co-ionic composites, perovskite ex-solutions, and organometallics, ii) electrochemistry and electrochemical process engineering, iii) catalysis science and engineering, iv) computer aided materials design and atomic scale modelling, and v) digital real-scale process modelling and economic evaluation, along with a comprehensive sustainability assessment, applied social research for impact framing, and marketization planning.

作为全球二氧化碳排放的主要贡献者，商品化学工业应紧急结合可再生电力，以与化石燃料资源独立。 Ecolefins旨在建立一个新的全电动范式，用于将二氧化碳和H2O的电转化为Light Olefins，这是聚合物和其他日常生活化学产品的键内中间体。提出的概念逆转了与基于石油的光烯烃生产相关的重二氧化碳排放，以大规模的二氧化碳捕获和对碳负乙烯，丙烯和丁烯的气价化。该概念引入了共同离子陶瓷膜反应器和简短的堆栈/模块，将阳极蒸汽电解合并，以与阴极二氧化碳电解和氢化氢和氢化，从而在量身定制的和纳米工程的电极上氢化。旨在开发一种基本更有效的技术，以将二氧化碳的单一步骤二氧化碳与有价值的化学物质进行。这种野心需要一项多学科的任务，需要在以下领域的尖端研究中进行高度调整的协同作用：实际规模的过程建模和经济评估，以及全面的可持续性评估，将社会研究应用于影响框架和市场化计划。
