Efficient solar light conversion to fuels and chemicals (SOLFuture)
- Funding: Next Generation EU. Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación. State Research Agency.
- Call: LÃneas Estratégicas 2021
- Project code: PLEC2021-007906
- Budget: 1,166,946.45 €
- Period: December 2021 – September 2025
OBJECTIVE
Conversion of solar energy into sustainable fuels
The SOLFuture project aims to lay the foundation of a country strategy for efficient solar light conversion to sustainable fuels and commodity chemicals by developing reliable and efficient technologies.
TIMELINE
The project, initiate in December 2021, is set to present its final results in September 2025
2021 - 2023MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT
Development of catalysts for photo-, photoelectro- and photoreactor processes.2022 - 2024CHARACTERIZATION
Characterization of the materials developed under reaction conditions.2021 - 2024SOLAR REACTORS
Development of solar (thermo) reactors to evaluate the materials2023 - 2025LCA
Techno-economic and social analysis of the overall process by means of life cycle assessment
ROLE OF APRIA
Photo (electro) catalytic reactor
The role of Apria in the SOLFuture project is designing and constructing the photo (electro) catalytic reactor for solar fuels production.
In addition, Apria will participate in the design studies for the manufacture of a photo (thermo) catalytic reactor, capable of operating under elevated temperature and pressure conditions.
CONSORTIUM
The project is formed by a consortium of six partners
IMDEA EnergÃa, Institut Català d'Investigació QuÃmica (ICIQ), Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid (ICMM-CSIC), Plataforma Solar de AlmerÃa (PSA-CIEMAT), Cepsa and Apria
SOLFuture is co-funded by the programme LÃneas Estratégicas NextGenerationEU of the European Union
