We are excited to report the successful conclusion of Sulphurreal’s 12-month project meeting at Saint Gobain in Cavaillon. Thanks to the dedication and collaboration of our partners we remain on schedule across all work packages, tailored to developing a sulphur-based cycle that enables mid- to long-term renewable energy storage.
This milestone meeting focused on reviewing the project’s progress, fostering knowledge exchange, and strengthening the cooperative efforts between all participants.
The central objectives of the project’s key work packages are:
- Developing cutting-edge sulphur trioxide (SO₃) splitting catalysts to improve efficiency in sulphur-based thermo-chemical cycles.
- Optimizing sulphur dioxide (SO₂) disproportionation catalysts for enhanced performance and greater sustainability.
- Innovating in advanced materials shaping to ensure durable, high-performance catalyst designs.
- Designing and engineering sulphur trioxide (SO₃) splitting and sulphur dioxide (SO₂) disproportionation reactors to maximize energy output and conversion efficiency.
- Implementing a highly efficient sulphur burner, capable of meeting the demands of industrial-scale applications.
- Integrating all these components into a fully cohesive system to ensure seamless, high-efficiency operation.
We are eager to embark on the next phase of the project and look forward to continuing this productive partnership as we drive forward impactful innovations for energy storage.
