The Flex-C-Cat project contributes to the Power to Liquid process chain for sustainable hydrogen production and utilization. Heterogeneous catalysts play an integral role to produce fuels and chemicals in the present and the future. Therefore high performance and efficient catalysts need to be developed and shifted from petroleum to CO2 and bio-based feedstocks. In this context, the Flex-C-Cat II project focuses on the optimization and the characterization of biomass-derived mesoporous carbons as tunable heterogeneous supports for hydrogenation catalysis. The applicability of Flex-C-Cat catalysts will be demonstrated using several exemplary hydrogenations, relevant to both current and evolving industrial practice accompanied by Near-Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy investigation of these catalysts. | Duration: 06/2019 - 06/2021
