🌟 We are excited to introduce our keynote speaker, Ludovic Jourdin, for the upcoming 1st Electrochemical Conversion National Symposium (ECCNS). 🔬 Explore the groundbreaking world of Microbial Electrosynthesis (MES) with Ludovic Jourdin! In his presentation, Ludovic explains how a biofilm-based microbial porous cathode in a directed flow-through electrochemical system continuously reduces CO2 to even-chain C2-C6 carboxylic acids. This novel reactor design mitigates mass transport limitations, achieving remarkable improvements in biofilm concentration, volumetric current density, and productivity compared to the state of the art. 👩🔬 Ludovic Jourdin is an associate professor at Delft University of Technology, renowned for his pioneering research in environmental biotechnology. With a background in chemical engineering and a Ph.D. in environmental biotechnology from the University of Queensland, he has been at the forefront of investigating novel technologies for electricity-driven bioconversions. Following a successful postdoctoral position at Wageningen University, he embarked on his independent career journey, focusing on microbial electrochemical conversions relevant to today's global challenges.

🏆 Congratulations to Isabell Bagemihl, the winner of Delft University of Technology Best Energy Paper award 2023! Her remarkable work earned her the Best Paper Award of TU Delft e-Refinery Institute and got nominated for the last round of competition. 🔬𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞: 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐥𝐚𝐛-𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 Isabell, PhD student at Ruud van Ommen's group, developed a multi-scale model – from reaction channel to full-scale process – for assessing reactor design for electrochemical CO2 reduction from a techno-economic perspective. Specifically considering the performance interdependencies, it yields performance targets that are actually achievable in current electrolyser designs. She demonstrated her model for a single reaction (CO2 to ethylene) but it can be readily adapted to many more. Increasing the understanding from lab-scale to economic impact, her research may help guide future fundamental electrolyses research, bringing a closed carbon cycle ever closer. 📖 Full story on Isabell's work: https://lnkd.in/eeny7SGS 📄 Isabell's winning publication in its entirety: https://lnkd.in/eMGW8jtu #CO2electrolysis, #electrolysermodel, #Multiscalemodeling, #optimization, #Technoeconomicanalysis
