Webinar 6: Catalysis development for hydrothermal gasification
Our most recent Webinar, with David Baudouin from Paul-Scherrer Institute is now online. Hydrothermal gasification is used within the BIOCTANE project, to process the dark fermentation residues for a full utilization of wet organic residues. In order to achieve this goal, PSI is developing catalysts which are selective towards the production of hydrogen but also…
