DAM4CO2 – PROJECT PRESENTATION

The aim of DAM4CO₂ is to develop a novel membrane technology, for the simultaneous CO2 separation and its photocatalytic conversion to C4+ molecules, as renewable fuels. DAM4CO2 will overcome the conventional membrane technologies by developing double active membranes (DAMs) with a durable and highly selective gas separation layer and a photocatalytic layer able to simultaneously combine in one pot reverse water gas shift (RWGS) and Fisher-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) to obtain C4+ molecules.

Herein we will present the key activities performed in the first two years of the project. Thus, we will discuss about greener membranes preparation, the preparation of thin film composites for both capture and conversion. Attention will be paid to the differences in using crystalline and amorphous materials for the preparation of membbranes for CO2 capture, as well as the preparation of catalytic membranes without the use of critical raw materials.
