In an era where climate change demands revolutionary solutions, the SolDAC project emerges as a beacon of hope, demonstrating how cutting-edge technology can transform one of our most significant environmental challenges into an opportunity for sustainable chemical production. The SolDAC project represents a paradigm shift in how we approach carbon…
Last week, the SolDAC consortium visited its prototype in Lleida, Spain.During the visit, we were able to discuss the configuration of the three units that constitute the prototype: the photoelectrochemical conversion system (PEC), the full solar spectrum (FSS) unit, and the water collector. This on-site meeting was very enlightening and…
On June 25, 2025, in Barcelona, the “Igniting the Future: SolDAC Meets the Market” workshop gathered scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and innovators. The event, held at the Sercotel Caspe, aimed to share progress, reflect, and plan the next steps for the SolDAC project. The workshop began with presentations from the SolDAC…
Last week, the SolDAC team embarked on a pivotal visit to the University of Edinburgh’s School of Engineering, a key partner in our mission to revolutionize carbon capture and conversion technologies. This visit provided an invaluable opportunity to witness firsthand the advancements in our Direct Air Capture (DAC) system and…
Continuing with SOLDAC developments: Ethylene is produced with the PEC prototype in UdL In April 2025, the Photo-Electrochemical Conversion (PEC) unit was successfully shipped, installed and tested at the University of Lleida (UdL). Experts from IREC and UdL collaborated on the integrated testing of the “cold” photon flow from the…
