The Technology
We are developing a commercially viable, aqueous triple compartment electrolyzer, a chemical reactor using an electrical potential to drive the conversion of CO2 into formic acid. We have chosen this technique in order to reach the optimal conversion efficiency and cost-effectivity. With an eye on the ongoing energy transition, electricity seems to be the most sustainable future energy source.
The Team
We work in an interdisciplinary team of TU/e and Fontys students from different faculties. We are affiliated with TU/e Innovation Space and the university's Honors Academy.
