SUMMARY:Transition pathway toward sustainable fossil-free fuels and base chemicals – a SUNERGY regional meeting
DESCRIPTION:“Transition pathway toward sustainable fossil-free fuels and base chemicals” is a title of a conference that was jointly organized by the J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry (Czech Academy of Sciences)\, Association of Czech Chemical Industry\, and the European initiative SUNERGY. It was held at the J. Heyrovský Institute in Prague on 14 and 15 September 2023. \nThe conference was a very interesting event that brought together people from academia\, industry\, as well as from organizations supporting Czech participation in Horizon Europe. The industry participation ranged from large companies such as ORLEN-Unipetrol or BASF to new startups\, for example TailorMem (CZ) that specializes in developing and producing new types of membranes. Academic participation involved mostly scientists from the J. Heyrovský Institute and other institutes of the Czech Academy\, and from the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague. Altogether\, the meeting was attended by about 70 participants\, mostly from the Czech Republic as well as from France\, Poland\, Finland\, and Spain. \n \nSuch a broad and diverse participation allowed to present and discuss a range of scientific\, technical\, economical\, and political issues related to synthetic fuels – energy-rich chemical compounds (such as hydrocarbons\, methanol\, hydrogen\, etc.) produced from abundant raw materials (CO2\, water\, nitrogen) with the use of sunlight (solar fuels) or renewable electricity (e-fuels). Making such fuels from CO2 would make them carbon-neutral and their wide usage would become a basis for a circular economy of the future. \nScientific talks covered a broad range of topics\, from the general need of synthetic fuels\, their merits as well as downsides\, to particular processes and technical solutions to produce and utilize various kinds of sustainable fuels and feedstock chemicals. Using detailed analysis and hard numbers quantifying energy requirements\, it was clearly shown that liquid synthetic fuels will be an absolutely necessary part of transition to fossil-free energetics\, especially in the context of the Czech Republic. This is not just to provide energy for transportation (while using the existing infrastructure) but also to store intermittent renewable energy for a long time and to maintain the stability and resilience of the energy systems of European countries\, and to contribute to their energetic sovereignty. Development of technologies for energy storage in chemical bonds of synthetic fuels should thus be regarded as a foremost strategic goal of European countries and the EU. An important point has been made that synthetic fuels have to be primarily judged and evaluated by their energy efficiency. In other words\, more energy has to be gained than conventional energy spent on their production. \nSeveral talks have clearly demonstrated that presently known fuel-producing processes do not match the strict requirements of material and energy efficiencies and that entirely new approaches are needed. This conclusion mandates establishing strong research and development programs on national as well as European levels. As was presented by its deputy coordinator Frédéric Chandezon\, SUNERGY (one of the meeting organizers) is an European initiative that\, together with the Horizon Europe Coordination and Support Action SUNER-C\, strives to build up an EU-wide community working on synthetic (solar) fuels\, promote them\, and\, most importantly\, establish an EU large-scale research initiative (most likely a co-programmed partnership) that will fund and coordinate European research\, technology development and transfer\, as well as upscaling and implementation of synthetic fuels in the energetics of EU countries and beyond. Toward this goal\, SUNER-C (supported by the broader SUNERGY community) works on a roadmap\, which was explained in dedicated talk. It is an open document that responds to latest scientific/technical developments as well as to evolving political and societal views. Since it is too early to “pick winners” by deciding which synthetic fuels and production processes are most promising\, the roadmap rightly stresses the need to pursue the research and development along multiple parallel lines\, even including emerging novel aspects of photon management\, light-matter interactions\, as well as photo- and electro-catalysis. Some of the technical issues raised in the roadmap were addresses by specific scientific/technical talks. Water oxidation (either electro- or photochemical) complements all practically considered fuel-producing processes but also presents their bottleneck. Physical/chemical origins of the water-oxidation problem were analyzed in one of the talks that also outlined the way forward by theory-guided development of new catalytic materials. \nOn the hydrogen-evolution and CO2 reduction side\, there was a very interesting talk on nanostructured 2-dimensional catalytic materials\, including metal-doped graphene and molybdenum and rhenium sulfides\, where catalytic sites occur at nanosheet edges. Photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction to hydrocarbons was shown to occur catalytically on copper-doped polydopamine on hydroxylapatite sheets. Doped organic semiconductors and metal-organic frameworks combining light-harvesting and catalytic sites were presented among new promising systems for artificial photosynthesis. Photobiology presents and alternative approach\, whereby immobilized cyanobacteria reduce nitrogen or CO2 using electro- or photochemically supplied electrons. Talks on innovative technical solutions dealt with coelectrolysis of CO2 and steam on solid oxides and described new types of ion-exchange membranes that are now getting employed in electrocatalytic systems and batteries\, as well as in novel systems producing electricity upon mixing sea and fresh water. Several talks also stressed the importance of designing photoreactors and electrolytic cells aimed at improving energy and material efficiencies. \nProgress toward synthetic fuels is to a large extent contingent upon advances in materials research that is bringing new catalysts\, separators\, etc. On an EU level\, energy-related material research is represented by the AMPEA program of the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA)\, whose activities were overviewed. Important activities take place also at the national level as was demonstrated by talks on the “CO2 Czech Solution Group” and the “Strategy AV21” of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The CO2 Group explores ways to convert CO2 into feedstock chemicals for industry and aims to create a cooperative environment encompassing industry\, R&D\, as well as the government\, and also to involve Czech Republic in international cooperation on low-carbon and circular economy. Strategy AV21 outlines the principal research directions of the Czech Academy of Sciences and\, in selected directions\, fosters synergies between Academy institutes as well as between disciplines. It also aims to improve public awareness and facilitate knowledge transfer to the educational and private sector. The Strategy is organized into programs\, one of which\, “Sustainable Energy”\, is directly relevant to synthetic fuels. It focuses on hydrogen and “new fuels”\, CO2 capture\, as well as on energy storage. Specific research projects in Academy institutes include\, for example\, mechanism of (photo)electrochemical water oxidation\, development of catalytic materials and membranes for electrolyzers\, hydrogen storage\, membranes for CO2 capture\, methane-to-methanol and CO2-to-ethanol conversions\, as well as unravelling fundamental principles of light harnessing and energy conversion. \nFinally\, a citation from the talk given by Ivan Souček\, director of the Czech Industry Association: “…reducing greenhouse gas emissions\, increasing resource efficiency and circularity\, safety in the chemical industry …. will require new process technologies and their combination will be essential to achieve the EU’s 2050 climate-neutrality objective.”

SUMMARY:Sustainable and Low Carbon Fuels and Chemicals: Time for Take Off
DESCRIPTION:📢 On 13th of April\, the Maison Irène et Frédéric Joliot Curie in Brussels hosted an in-person event organized by CEA titled “Sustainable and low carbon fuels and chemicals – Time for take-off”. \n🌱⛽ Sustainable and low carbon fuels will play an essential role in achieving the European Union’s ambitious energy transition objectives and reaching net zero by 2050. In particular\, they will allow the defossilisation of industry sectors where electrification alone will not be sufficient. \n🏛️ Speakers and representatives from the European Commission and European organizations\, from more than 10 Member States\, from industry and from the research community joined the event to discuss around the currently hot topic of sustainable low carbon fuels and chemicals and the challenges ahead. \n👥 There was a great interest in attending the event\, with more than 110 registrations. Approximately 60 individuals were invited to attend the event in person. \n🎤 After an introductory speech by Mr. Cyril Piquemal\, Deputy Permanent Representative of France to the European Union\, the event was organized in three sessions covering the following aspects: \n➡ 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟭: The role of sustainable fuels and chemicals in the climate and energy transition\, with talks by Bernd Kuepker (EC-DG ENER) and Tudy Bernier (CO2 Value Europe); \n➡ 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟮: Technology options and perspectives\, with talks by Maria Georgiadou (EC-DG RTD)\, Thibault Cantat (CEA)\, Jack Legrand (CNRS)\, Jurriaan Boon (TNO) and Fleischer Maximilian (Siemens Energy); \n➡ 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟯:Towards a synthetic fuels and chemicals value chain with talks by Nicolas JEULAND (Safran)\, Caterina Cobino (FINCANTIERI S.p.A.)\, Ivan Souček (Svaz chemického průmyslu ČR\, z. s. – Association of the Chemical Industry in Czech Republic)\, Horzenberger Franz (ArcelorMittal) and Heidi Bergman (Renewable hydrogen\, Neste Corporation). \n⭐ Several speakers and attendees are directly involved or related to SUNERGY and SUNER-C\, including Tudy Bernier (CO2 Value Europe)\, Fleischer Maximilian (Siemens Energy)\, Ivan Souček (Association of the Chemical Industry in Czech Republic) and Frederic Chandezon as co-organizer of the event and chair of session 2. \n𝗔𝘀 𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲-𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁:📝 Sustainable fuels and chemicals will be necessary to reach the EU’s energy and climate objectives; \n📝 Considering the huge electricity amounts required to produce them\, there is a need for prioritization of the use of such fuels and chemicals in hard-to-abate sectors\, like the chemical industry\, the aviation and maritime transport sectors; \n📝 Technology alone will not allow the Union to reach its energy and climate objectives and it needs to be complemented by energy efficiency and sustainability as core objectives.

SUMMARY:Séminaire ANCRE-SUNER-C: comment promouvoir la filière des carburants et molécules de commodité alternatifs en France et en Europe?
DESCRIPTION:📅 Last 28th of March\, the Alliance Nationale de Coordination de la Recherche pour l’Energie (ANCRE) and SUNER-C co-organized an online event titled “Séminaire ANCRE-SUNER-C: comment promouvoir la filière des carburants et molécules de commodité alternatifs en France et en Europe?” \n🌍 The event brought together French stakeholders from the SUNERGY community and beyond to inform\, involve\, and mobilize the French research community on the ongoing SUNER-C project. Approximately 80 people registered for the event. \n🎤 The event began with introductory words by the current head of the ANCRE Alliance\, Pierre-Franck Chevet (chairman and CEA of IFP Energies nouvelles)\, followed by Frederic Chandezon\, deputy coordinator of SUNERGY and SUNER-C\, presented the initiative and project and explained how attendees can contribute to shape a future around solar fuels and chemicals in the European agendas. Two representatives from the French Ministry of Research and Higher Education\, Annabelle Rondaud and Xavier Montagne\, also gave insight into the topic and how SUNERGY contributed and can contribute. \n🔬 The event continued with seven scientific and technical presentations to share their vision and the current challenges they identify in the field of solar fuels and chemicals and Carbon Capture and Use. These were presented by representatives of French academias\, RTOs and networks (Centre national de la recherche scientifique\, Commissariat a l’Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives\, IFP Energies nouvelles\, Université Grenoble Alpes)\, networks and Hubs (GDR Solar Fuels funded by CNRS and AXELERA Auvergne-Rhône Alpes Chemistry-Environnment Hub) and industrials (ENGIE\, VICAT). \n👏 As concluding messages\, representatives of ANCRE\, the French Ministry of Research and Higher Education\, and SUNERGY/SUNER-C emphasized the diversity and dynamism of the French community and eco-system in the field of solar fuels and chemicals and CCU\, and the importance of the field in pushing it further in the European agendas. \n🌟 Overall\, the event was a great success\, providing valuable insights into the current state of solar fuels and chemicals in France and Europe and showcasing the importance of collaboration and community involvement in driving progress in the field. \n  \nThe event was part of the pan-European initiative SUNERGY\, working to enable a circular economy through the sustainable production of fossil-free fuels and base chemicals from renewable energy (sunlight\, wind) and abundant molecules (CO2\, water\, nitrogen). SUNER-C is a new EU-funded CSA (Coordination and Support Action) under the umbrella of the SUNERGY Community\, with 4M € funding for 3 years from June 1st 2022. SUNER-C will enable the creation of an innovation ecosystem\, develop a technological roadmap and prepare for a large-scale research and innovation (R&I) initiative on solar fuels and chemicals. Ultimately\, SUNERGY aims to become a large European Research and Innovation (LSRI) initiative working towards converting and storing renewable energy into fossil-free fuels and chemicals\, complementing the scope of existing European partnerships. \nThe meeting was free of charge.\nThe main language of the event was French. \nProgram
