Project CO2PERATE

The project, which is funded by the Agentschap Innoveren en Ondernemen (VLAIO), and supported by Catalisti, has as main objective to develop technologies for the conversion of CO₂ into value-added chemicals using catalysis and renewable energy. To benchmark, compare and develop the various technologies, the formation of formic acid was selected as the initial target. Out of the 4 targeted catalytic routes, VITO is mainly involved in electrochemical catalysis.
