Catalytic processes play a crucial role in the transition to a more sustainable and low carbon economy. By optimizing catalyst design, reaction conditions and process efficiency, low carbon catalytic processes will help to mitigate climate change. Examples of low carbon catalytic processes: Fischer-Tropsch synthesis: Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis is a catalytic process that converts carbon monoxide and hydrogen into hydrocarbon fuels, such as synthetic diesel and synthetic gasoline. It can utilize renewable sources of carbon monoxide, such as biomass or waste gases, to produce low carbon fuels. The use of carbon dioxide (CO2) as an alternative carbon source for FT synthesis is an area of active research and development. Zeolite catalysts are widely employed in the upgrading process to improve the quality of the fuel and meet the desired specifications. Hierarchical zeolites instead of microporous zeolites improve the quality of products by increasing the isomers selectivity (One Step Catalytic Production of Liquid Hydrocarbons from Syngas, master thesis, Daniel Costa. Ongoing projects are being developed in collaboration with the Portuguese Collaborative Laboratory NET4CO2.
