PRIN SILCO

waste-derived SILica-based porous solids for Carbon diOxide capture, storage and re-use

Principal investigator (LCCP research unit): prof. Lidia Castoldi

Turning waste into solutions: Silica-based sorbent for CO₂ control

Consortium: Politecnico di Milano, Università di Genova, Università di Milano Bicocca

SILCO project has been designed and planned to address three targets of EU and Italian PNRR: climate change, by proposing new materials for CO₂ capture and use (SDG13 – climate action); affordable energy, by proposing CO₂ transformation into hydrocarbon (SDG7 - Affordable and clean energy), and responsible resources consumption, by proposing the development and application of waste-derived silica matrixes (SDG12 - Sustainable consumption and production), and particular attention is paid to the circularity of the proposed approach.
