International Symposium Catalytic Chemistry of C1 Molecules

The ongoing societal transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources requires the development of energy-efficient, selective and waste-free catalytic processes for C1 molecules, which occur under mild conditions. The symposium is intended to offer an update of recent innovations in both fundamental and applied aspects of catalytic utilization of CO2, CO, methane, methanol, formaldehyde and formic acid. The particular focus will be on hydrogen production and storage using C1 molecules. The symposium will emphasize catalyst design, thermocatalysis, homogeneous catalysis, heterogeneous catalysis, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, catalyst characterization, modelling, kinetics, process design and intensification. Our goal is to enable researchers from different fields to exchange views and to create a synergy of knowledge.

Contributions will be solicited on the following topics: – CO2 upgrading (hydrogenation, reduction, CO2 for oxidation/dehydrogenation, carbonates); – Catalytic valorization of methane (methane coupling, partial oxidation, reforming); – Methanol-mediated hydrocarbon synthesis from CO and CO2; – Fischer-Tropsch synthesis; – Synthesis of methanol and dimethyl ether; – Synthesis of substituted natural gas (SNG); – Conversion of methanol to hydrocarbons; – Hydrogen production and storage using C1 molecules.
