📢 A first scientific article on the work performed within the OBIWAN Interreg FWVL Project is out! Partners from Ghent University under the lead of prof. Joris Thybaut ( Laboratory for Chemical Technology ) have made a publication on the kinetic analysis of methane pyrolysis over carbon catalysts. The kinetic parameters of an existing surface reaction model were optimized to improve predictions for methane pyrolysis over so-called low-order catalysts, resulting in the

One more week before we are having our OBIWAN Interreg FWVL Project first series of guest lectures, in which our partners Julien Estager (Certech) and Andrei Khodakov (CNRS) will familliarize you with their research domain and specific activities within the OBIWAN project. Registrations are still open! 📅 Date & Time: 1 April 2025, 13:00 - 15:00 💻 Organized via Microsoft Teams Registration link: https://lnkd.in/e3ryntdY #InterregFWVL #biogas #sustainability

The OBIWAN Interreg FWVL Project is organizing a series of guest lectures to familiarize both researchers from our project consortium and external interested parties with the research domains and specific activities of particular OBIWAN partners. In the first guest lecture series, Julien Estager (Certech) will provide an introduction to biogas purification techniques and Andrei Khodakov (CNRS) will introduce you to CO 2 transformation with selected examples of hydrogen
