112CO2 – Low temperature catalytic methane decomposition for COx-free hydrogen production

Tiago Lagarteira

ALiCE-LEPABE/PPE

Tiago Lagarteira is a Project Engineer at LEPABE-FEUP. He received his MSc degree in chemical engineering (processes and products) from UPORTO and his research is focused on electrochemical conversion and storage energy systems. He is currently the Work Package Leader at 112CO2 project; His publications includes 10 research articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals, 1 patent and more than 12 presentations in international conferences.

Talk summary

112CO2 is a FET-Proactive project funded by the EIC that proposes an easy-to-implement technology to swiftly decarbonise the energy sector at competitive prices. The overall objective is to develop science and technology for low temperature methane decomposition reaction, which allows to produce COx-free hydrogen and solid carbon from natural gas or biogas. The 112CO2 project also considers the involvement of third parties to build-up an interdisciplinary community and the creation of an innovative eco-system around catalytic methane decomposition.
