EU-Horizon 2020 website highlights 112CO2 project
Posted on November 20th, 2020
The 112CO2 - Low temperature catalytic methane decomposition for COx-free hydrogen production project, led by Prof. Adélio Mendes, senior member at LEPABE was highlighted by the EU-Horizon 2020 website.
The 112CO2 project is the beginning of a new scientific and technological adventure towards the full and fast energy decarbonisation at competitive prices and beyond, providing an effective pathway for the CO2 removal from the atmosphere. Financially supported by the FET Proactive programme, with a total funding of 3,5 millions €, this project is led by LEPABE/FEUP and involves the participation of 7 more institutions and companies.
