Advancing CO2-to-Fuels via Electroreduction and Catalysis
Updated: Aug 4
The POWER CO₂ Days! September 7 - 9 2026 in Lyon
Day 2, 8th September: Advancing TRL
We are thrilled to announce that Marc Robert will be delivering a plenary lecture on the next generation of CO2 electroreduction technologies through which renewable energy (e.g., solar) can be stored. At large scale, they could contribute to the development of a circular carbon economy.
In this lecture, Marc will present his team's latest advancements in designing molecular catalysts for highly selective CO2 conversion under photochemical, electrochemical, or combined conditions.
💡 Session Highlights:
Precision Engineering: Discover how fine-tuning the metal center and the second- and third-coordination spheres of the ligand drives exceptional selectivity under combined photochemical and electrochemical conditions.
Comprehensive Output: An exploration of catalyst designs that produce the full range of C1 products (formaldehyde, methanol, methane) as well as complex C2+ molecules (sugars).
Scalability: A practical look at the engineering efforts required to transition these molecular systems from laboratory discoveries into scalable, large-scale CO2 electrolyzers.
Join us for a deep dive into the electrocatalysis powering research aiming at tomorrow's renewable fuels.
