Advancing CO2-to-Fuels via Molecular Catalysis

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 session on the next generation of CO2 reduction technologies and their role in the circular carbon economy.

Storing renewable energy within chemical bonds is one of our greatest modern challenges. In this keynote, Marc will present his team's latest advancements in designing molecular catalysts for highly selective CO2 conversion.

💡 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 tomorrow's renewable fuels.
