Participation of UNICAL and 1CUBE at the Winter School on Gasification and Membrane Reactors
On 25–26 February, leading experts from academia and industry gathered for the Winter School on Gasification and Membrane Reactors, organized within the framework of the EU-funded projects Bio-MeGaFuel, Hermes, and MemCat. The event provided a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange on advanced thermochemical conversion processes and innovative membrane technologies for sustainable energy applications.
Sergio Santoro (UNICAL)
Sergio Santoro from University of Calabria (UNICAL) delivered a presentation entitled:
“Advanced Membranes and Processes for Water Vapor Recovery and Separation”
Presented within the framework of the MemCat project, his talk focused on cutting-edge membrane materials and integrated process solutions for efficient water vapor recovery and selective separation. The presentation highlighted the role of advanced membrane systems in improving process sustainability, enhancing energy efficiency, and enabling intensified reactor configurations for next-generation energy systems.
Fausto Gallucci (1CUBE)
Fausto Gallucci from 1CUBE contributed with a presentation titled:
“Membranes and Membrane Reactors for CO₂ Hydrogenation”
His lecture explored the integration of membrane technologies into catalytic reactor systems for CO₂ hydrogenation processes. Emphasis was placed on membrane reactor design, process intensification strategies, and their potential to enhance conversion efficiency and selectivity, supporting the transition toward low-carbon fuel and chemical production pathways.
The participation of UNICAL and 1CUBE reinforced the strong collaboration between academic research and industrial innovation within the Bio-MeGaFuel, Hermes, and MemCat projects. Their contributions showcased the strategic importance of membrane-based technologies in advancing gasification processes and sustainable fuel production across Europe.
