CARENA

  • Project Description

    CARENA: CAtalytic membrane REactors based on New mAterials for C1-C4 valorization; This collaborative project aims to create technologies enabling efficient conversion of light alkanes and CO2 into higher value chemicals. This is a broad project with different TRLs, depending on the application of the membranes.
