NETPEC stands for “Negative Emission Technologies based on PhotoElectroChemical Methods” and is a collaborative research project funded by the BMBF. The overall goal of the NETPEC project is the development of highly efficient photoelectrochemical approaches to convert carbon dioxide into easily storable, safe and sustainable carbon sink products. This is accompanied by climate modeling, geological reservoir investigations and sustainability analysis, thus making the NETPEC project follow a holistic approach.
The NETPEC consortium is coordinated by the University of Tübingen and it is furthermore embedded in the BMBF research program on land based CO2 removal (CDRterra).
All contributing researchers and institutions are listed here and the tab “Project” contains more detailed information about the project and its different parts.
Daniel Lörchs work on the mechanism of electrochemical CO2 reduction at liquid metal surfaces has appeared in JPCC! https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcc.4c05482
The preprint of Moritz Adams work with the title “Land conversions not climate effects are the dominant consequence of sun-driven CO2 capture, conversion, and sequestration” is now available on EarthArXiv, doi: 10.31223/X5N713
The preprint by Daniel Lörch on the mechanism of electrochemical CO2 reduction at liquid metal surfaces is now online on chemarxiv, doi:10.26434/chemrxiv-2024-1t2ss
