Materials to capture CO2 from flue gas can be made to operate at up to 50 degrees lower temperatures by adding small amounts of transition metals such as zinc or nickel, report DIFFER researchers Mike Gleeson, Tesfaye Belete and Richard van de Sanden in the Journal of CO2 Utilization.

Door een kleine dosis metaal zoals zink of nikkel werken materialen voor CO2-afvang uit rookgassen al bij tot 50 oC lagere temperatuur dan normaal, ontdekten onderzoekers van het Nederlandse instituut voor energieonderzoek DIFFER. Wetenschappers Mike Gleeson, Tesfaye Belete en Richard van de Sanden publiceerden hun werk in the Journal of CO2 Utilization.

Friday 21 June the second Netherlands conference on Electrochemical Conversion & Materials (ECCM) will be organized by the ECCM advisory committee, appointed by the Dutch government. The conference is now open for registration.

A heat shield of liquid metal automatically limits the temperature of a fusion reactor's inner wall, no matter how high the incoming heat load.

DIFFER hosted a roundtable event on Wednesday 13 March on the status and progress of the international ITER fusion project and the business opportunities for Dutch companies and research laboratories. ITER is building the most advanced fusion reactor in the world, which brings great opportunities for science and businesses.
