CONDOR
is a project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme
coordinated by the University of Bologna, Italy
CONDOR is aimed at the production of fuels by using carbon dioxide (CO2) as feedstock and sunlight as the sole energy source. The project proposes a photosynthetic device made of two compartments (a) a photoelectrochemical cell that splits water and CO2 and generates oxygen and syngas, a mixture of H2 and CO; (b) a (photo)reactor that converts syngas into methanol and dimethylether (DME), via bi-functional heterogeneous catalysts. The final target is a full photosynthetic device with 8% solar-to-syngas and 6% solar-to-DME efficiencies with three-months continuous outdoor operation. The process will contribute to the decarbonization of the economy, curtailing our dependence on fossil fuels as sources of carbon. The overall system will have a low-environmental impact, thanks to the use of earth abundant elements in catalyst/electrodes and of low energy/low temperature routes for their production.
