Periodic Reporting for period 1 - e-CODUCT (Fast-response Electrically heated catalytic reactor technology for CO2 reDUCTion)
Período documentado: 2022-09-01 hasta 2024-02-29
Current technologies have no solution to the challenge of CO2 conversion, which lies in the composition of streams containing other acid gases (e.g. H2S), and the economic and environmental inefficiency of reactors. The ultimate goal is to develop a breakthrough technology that enables the simultaneous reduction of CO2 and H2S for the production of marketable green end products in the form of fuels and useful chemicals (CO, S and CH₃OH).
The first version of P&ID for the integrated pilot was consolidated and used for a HAZOP study, which would serve as a basis for safe operation and global e-CODUCT HSE analysis. Following this, the consortium realised a preliminary HAZOP for the pilot. In the meantime, a mass and energy balance sheet of core e-CODUCT technology, with a black box diagram model was delivered and shared among the partners. A first version of TEA and LCA models, an industrial planning tool were developed. Finally, an initial report on the regulatory framework was delivered. In terms of dissemination, e-CODUCT has a website and a Linkedin account with regular updates. We organised a workshop, “The Electric Decade”, in collaboration with sister projects.
