There is an urgent need to turn to clean and renewable energy to secure a climate-resilient future. The international cooperation of researchers, institutions and industry is vital. The EU-funded LAURELIN project will enable the collaboration and knowledge exchange between eight European and two Japanese partners in the development of disruptive, multifunctional catalyst systems by the improvement of limiting factors: selectivity, yield, and energy requirements. Specifically, the project will enable CO2 hydrogenation to obtain methanol as a renewable fuel, with three new advanced synthesis technologies (magnetic induction, non-thermal plasma induction and microwave technologies). LAURELIN will also foster breakthrough innovation in advanced biofuels and alternative renewable fuels, strengthening European and Japanese technology
