Great to see the Swiss Cat+ platform at ETHZ playing a key role in this groundbreaking work! 🚀 By running 200+ experiments in just a few days using high-throughput tools, Hannes Frey contributed to accelerating the search for optimal CO₂ mineralization materials for Forge Minerals. Congratulations to Sylvain Petitgirard and his team—looking forward to continuing this collaboration! #HighThroughput #CarbonCapture #CO2Utilization #ClimateTech #ETHZurich
After running about 200 experiments using the SwissCat+ platform at ETH and the equipment from the applied geoscience departement at The University of Edinburgh, we have analysed the recovered samples using a novel high-throughput system for X-ray diffraction at the ESRF in Grenoble. The results are just of outstanding quality! Using our grant from innovate UK Forge Minerals is leveraging the best scientific equipment across Europe, helping us to target the optimum conditions for our CO2 mineralization process. Next step is to reproduce these results in a commercial scalable reactor. We will be coming back soon to the ESRF to analyse our first batch of samples made in a 250-liters reactor! #ETH #universityofedinburgh #esrf #innovateuk #forgeminerals
