Partners
In ECO2Fuel, 15 international partners from the chemical, energy, hydrogen, mechanical engineering and automotive industry, and several research institutions set out to contribute to this goal by building the worldwide first CO2 conversion system to convert 742 tons of CO2 per year into economic and sustainable liquid e-fuels and chemicals.
Main tasks of Bekaert in the Eco2Fuel project
- Within Eco2Fuel, Bekaert will produce sintered copper and nickel fiber structures using its R&D infrastructure at Zwevegem, Belgium as basis for the electrodes and MEA.
- Optimal porous fiber structures will be developed starting from existing products towards optimal gas diffusion efficiency and ease of catalyst coating application.
- These will then also be further processed in catalyst coating and MEA integration.
- These structures will be provided in sheet format, but Bekaert will also optimize the process for providing fiber structures on rolls to facilitate coating application process.
- During the course of the project, Bekaert will supply sufficient materials for construction of demonstrator electrolysers.
