SolDAC’s main ambition is to reinvent ethylene production — a primary building block of the chemical industry — with an emerging breakthrough technology that is both technically and economically competitive as well as carbon neutral. This novel approach produces ethylene and by-product ethanol by means of the integration of three units with optimized efficiencies with respect to their corresponding state-of-the-art. The production of ethylene and by-product ethanol (C2 products) from atmospheric CO2 and water is carried out via electrolysis in a PhotoElectroChemical (PEC) conversion unit. Both CO2 and water are provided by an innovative low-temperature Direct Direct Air Capture (DAC) unit that implements novel step-isotherm materials for high sorption from air. The system’s carbon neutrality is enhanced even further by self-supplying its energy needs with a Full-Spectrum Solar (FSS) collection unit able to split solar energy for electricity and heat generation.
SolDAC’s development is thoroughly screened through an LCA-based eco-design approach comprising aspects such as material criticality, environmental impacts, and techno-economic feasibility; ensuring the environmental responsibility and social acceptance of the project.
This poster is part of the SolDAC (Full spectrum SOLar Direct Air Capture & conversion) project and has received funding from the European Commission H2020 Programme under Grant Agreement No. 101069359.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
