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.
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
The paper of Florian Keller “Exploring the Mechanism of the Electrochemical Polymerization of CO2 to Hard Carbon over CeO2(110)” has been published in J. Phys. Chem. C, doi: 10.1021/acs.jpcc.3c08356
The work of the NETPEC consortium, turning CO2 into carbon flakes, has been featured in the science TV-show Nano on 3Sat. Our contribution can be found around minute 15.
Pascal Kempen has submitted his Bachelor thesis about the “Electrochemical reduction of CO2 on Ga-In-Sn alloys in organic electrolytes” at Freie Universität Berlin.
