Накратко на български

Зеолитите са микропористи материали, които се разработват за превръщане на земеделски и горски отпадъци в горива и химикали. Това помага за намаляване на зависимостта от петрола и ограничаване на вредните емисии в атмосферата.

Advanced Zeolite Catalysis for Sustainable Biorefinery to Produce Value-added Chemicals

The ZEOBIOCHEM project responds to one of today’s most pressing global challenges: climate change and the urgent need to transition from fossil fuels to sustainable, low-carbon alternatives. Modern society still relies heavily on petroleum to produce fuels and everyday chemicals. This dependence contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation. To reach the European Union’s ambition of climate neutrality by 2050, new catalytic materials and methods must be developed to transform renewable resources, such as agricultural residues, forestry by-products and other types of non-food biomass, into valuable materials and clean energy. Replacing fossil-based chemical production with renewable, bio-based processes will help reduce Europe’s carbon footprint, strengthen energy security and create new sustainable industries. In particular, biorefineries, processes that convert biomass into fuels, solvents and other useful chemicals, are key enablers of a circular bio-economy. However, many of today’s biorefinery technologies are still inefficient, costly or environmentally demanding. Developing greener and more efficient catalytic materials for these processes is essential to make bio-based production commercially viable and environmentally sound. This ZEOBIOCHEM RISE project brings together universities and companies from Europe and Asia to create a new generation of catalysts based on zeolites, that is, microporous materials widely used in the petrochemical industry. The project aimed to design and produce advanced, hierarchical zeolites specially tailored for transforming biomass-derived feedstocks into high-value fuels and chemicals. The project focused on: 1. Developing innovative zeolite materials with controlled structure and chemical functionality to improve reaction efficiency and selectivity; 2. Applying these catalysts to key biorefinery processes, such as upgrading bio-oils, producing green solvents like ethyl lactate, and converting plant-based sugars into renewable chemical building blocks; 3. Evaluating the environmental and economic benefits of these new methods through life-cycle assessment (LCA) and techno-economic analysis (TEA); 4. Fostering international collaboration, researcher training and knowledge exchange between Europe, China, Japan and Thailand. This ZEOBIOCHEM RISE project assembles an international multidisciplinary consortium with complementary expertise in zeolite chemistry, heterogeneous catalysis, catalytic reaction engineering, biomass conversion and life cycle assessment (LCA), and aims at developing novel functionalised hierarchical zeolites (including the new methods for making them) and highly efficient catalysis for application in biorefineries.

Цел на проекта

The EU's long-term strategy, ‘A Clean Planet for All’, is underpinned by a bioeconomy, with biorefineries playing an important role. Aiming to contribute to this strategy, the ZEOBIOCHEM project will develop novel functionalised hierarchical zeolites for highly-efficient biorefinery catalysis, supporting the EU’s grand vision to achieve a climate neutral Europe by 2050. The project will be carried out by an internationally-leading multidisciplinary consortium with a complementary expertise in materials chemistry, heterogeneous catalysis, process intensification, biomass conversion and life cycle sustainability assessment.The research and innovation (R&I) activities will be performed collaboratively beyond the state-of-the-art by world-leading groups in relevant fields from the UK, Spain, Denmark, Hungary, China, Japan and Thailand. These activities will be facilitated by the international and intersectoral staff exchanges involving 200+ person-months, to enable the development of the next-generation biorefinery based on highly-efficient zeolite catalysts. Specifically, the project will develop hierarchical zeolites with optimised functionality (Brønsted, Lewis acidity and/or noble metal catalysts) for the biorefinery cases, such as bio-oil and sugar platforms upgrading and green solvent synthesis. To deliver the project outputs successfully, multidisciplinary expertise is essential. Thus, a high-quality and cross-disciplinary knowledge sharing and networking activities between the project partners will be established to address the R&I activities.The project includes extensive training, knowledge transfer and networking activities which will (i) ensure the development of our researchers with multidisciplinary skills for the future innovation, (ii) enhance the career development of the participants and (iii) maximise the opportunity to establish new networks and strengthen the existing networks, towards the sustainable development of the ZEOBIOCHEM partnership.
