The POWER CO₂ Days! | September 7–9, 2026 | Lyon, France Day 2: Nano Engineering Artificial photosynthesis offers a highly attractive route for converting CO₂ into energy-rich solar fuels while simultaneously mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. We are excited to welcome Valérie Keller (co-author Eliane Khoury) to present their latest research on gas-phase CO₂ photoreduction using water vapor as a proton source under visible and simulated solar irradiation. While TiO₂ remains

The POWER CO₂ Days! | September 7–9, 2026 | Lyon, France Day 2: Advancing TRL We are thrilled to welcome Bruno Chaudret as a Plenary Speaker to discuss the emerging and highly promising field of Magnetically Induced Catalysis (MIC). MIC exploits magnetically active materials to trigger or enhance catalytic processes. By applying external magnetic fields, researchers can achieve localized and selective energy transfer through magnetic induction heating. These "self-heating" ca

The POWER CO₂ Days! | Sept 7–9, 2026 | Lyon Day 2: Nano Engineering Can we efficiently convert sunlight into clean energy carriers? The promise of solar fuels has driven researchers to seek out cheap, eco-compatible, and sustainable processes for CO2 reduction. We are excited to announce that Fabrice Odobel (Université de Nantes, CNRS) will be delivering a Keynote on the cutting-edge "Hybrid Semiconductor–Molecular Systems" aming at such goal. The first half of his presenta

The POWER CO₂ Days! September 7 - 9 2026 in Lyon Day 1, 7th September: Next Frontier C3+ A practical strategy to achieve CO2-to-added value molecules conversion lies in first reducing carbon dioxide to its monoxide. CO then acts as a versatile CO2 surrogate since it undergoes conversion routes, original for their mechanism and final products, for example isobutene. This talk will address how does CO hydrogenation over ZrO₂ catalysts selectively produce branched hydrocarbons

What if we could capture CO2 and, using renewable energy, transform it into everything from methanol to complex molecules?
