Research
Transforming syngas into valuable fuels, chemicals, and energy carriers through advanced and scalable conversion technologies, from well-established industrial pathways to innovative emerging solutions, supporting industrial sustainability, resource efficiency, and the transition toward a low-carbon economy.
Our expertise in syngas conversion dates back to the 1980s, when our research activities focused on methanol and higher alcohol synthesis. Over the years, our work expanded to Fischer–Tropsch synthesis and other syngas valorization pathways, building a strong foundation in the production of fuels and chemicals from carbon-containing feedstocks. Driven by the needs of industrial partners, we have continuously developed innovative catalysts, kinetic models, and process solutions, combining fundamental understanding with applied research. Through decades of collaboration with leading companies in the energy and chemical sectors, we have contributed to advancing efficient and scalable syngas conversion technologies, bridging laboratory discoveries and industrial implementation.
