Process intensification of carbon dioxide and methane valorization by microwave heating.
RESILIENCE develops electrified, microwave-enabled catalytic processing for CO₂ and CH₄ valorization, targeting e-DRM and e-NOCM pathways. By integrating microwave reactor design with hierarchical porous carbons and single-atom catalysts, the project aims to enable compact, energy-efficient systems with rapid transients, improved heat/mass transfer, and scale-up-relevant operating strategies.

Objectives
- Develop Hierarchical Porous Carbons (HPCs) for microwave-heated electrified non-oxidative coupling of methane (e-NOCM).
- Develop Ni-loaded ceria-doped alumina and silica mesoporous catalysts for microwave-heated electrified dry reforming of methane (e-DRM).
- Design and implement microwave-heated reactors for both e-NOCM and e-DRM processes.
- Evaluate the energy efficiency of the developed electrified valorization processes.
