🌍 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐌𝐨𝐥, 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐠𝐢𝐮𝐦! 🌱

Our team traveled to Belgium for the ECO2Fuel project review meeting, hosted by VITO. Here’s a recap of the key moments:

🔬 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Dr. Eirini Zagoraiou, Principal Investigator of the Electrochemistry sector at MONOLITHOS, presented our advancements. The ECO2Fuel project, under the EU’s Horizon2020 (Green Deal) initiative, is set to develop the world’s first low-temperature 1MW direct CO₂ conversion system for producing #sustainable #efuels and #chemicals.

🛠️ 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: We reviewed the latest developments in cell components, including #electrocatalysts, #membranes, and bipolar plates, and discussed the assembly of the 50kW stack.

⚙️ 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐒 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: We highlighted our progress in scaling up electrocatalyst production and our #ecofriendly recycling strategy for End of Life (#EoL) #MEAs. Our trimetallic PROMETHEUS catalyst, featuring 50% less #PGMs, will reduce #emissions while maintaining high performance in #vehicles powered by the ECO2Fuel blend. 🚗

🚀 𝐒𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭: Partners had the chance to tour VITO’s electrolyzer testing site, gaining valuable insights into cell design and system operations.
