Objectives
The main objective in REFINE is to develop a disruptive, holistic platform system of artificial photosynthesis located in Europe for the delocalised, sustainable and circular production of green platform chemicals, such as butanol. Key sub-objectives that are perfectly aligned to the expected outcomes as set out in the call description are:
- Achieve a sustainable and efficient production platform for solar-derived chemicals with minimised downstream separation needs
- Create solar fuel policies and study societal acceptance and risk perceptions of the REFINE approach
- Converge the necessary disciplines to solve a multifaceted problem
- Provide multi-levelled understanding: from fundamental to applied sciences to deliver a breakthrough system
- Strengthen Europe’s energy independence
- Perform multi-levelled lifecycle and technoeconomic analyses and modelling of the proposed system to ensure integration with the industrial and societal value chain
