The CO2 conversion area investigates processes that lead to the conversion of CO2 into chemicals and fuels.
It focuses mainly on those CO2 conversion processes in which CO2 is dissolved in a basic aqueous medium, in the form of bicarbonate or captured with amines. In this medium CO2 is much more reactive, the selectivity towards the formation of formic acid is very high and also these processes can be integrated with the capture processes saving the intermediate stages of separation and pressurization.
