As the global demand for energy continues to rise, so does the pressing need to mitigate its environmental impact. The energy sector’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels not only contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, but also exacerbates climate change. Traditional approaches to energy production perpetuate this cycle. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, the EU-funded ADVCATALNANOMAT project focuses on synthesising methanol and higher alcohols from CO2 and renewable hydrogen (H2). It aims to boost process efficiency for rapid deployment of CO2-based technologies. By integrating materials science, advanced spectroscopy, chemical engineering, and theoretical simulation, it intends to develop an innovative solution that can decarbonise the energy sector.
