The Essential Small Molecules Challenge, launched by Air Liquide, was implemented to reinforce Air Liquide’s focus on science for accelerating innovation.
The winning projectes involved producing hydrogen (H2) out of water using solar energy, identifying sponge materials for high density storage and safe supply of gases, and last but not least, producing oxygen (O2) and carbon monoxide (Co) from carbon dioxide (CO2) in a sustainable way.
gasworld spoke exclusively to Air Liquide’s Vice-President of Research and Development (R&D), Olivier Letessier, about the competition and how the winners could aid the development of applications for industrial gases globally.
What are the possible benefits that could be achieved from the commercialisation of the three winning projects?
