Bio-electro CO2 recycling into added value compounds: insights, routes, strategies and performance improvements

Romans Casas, Meritxell (Date of defense: 2024-11-22)

ENG- In recent years, the decarbonization of industry has emerged as a key strategy for fostering a sustainable and eco-friendly economy. One promising approach is the conversion of CO2, a major contributor to climate ...

Bioelectrochemical transformation of carbon dioxide to target compounds through microbial electrosynthesis

Batlle Vilanova, Pau (Date of defense: 2016-11-25)

In 2015 the average concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere exceeded 400 ppm. Some technologies, including CO2 capture and storage, are palliative. However, the development of alternatives to burning of fossil fuels focuses ...

Bioremediation of nitrate-polluted groundwater using bioelectrochemical systems

Pous Rodríguez, Narcís (Date of defense: 2015-05-28)

The presence of nitrates (NO3-) in groundwater is a worldwide concern. The high energy demand and environmental impact of available technologies requires investigating new technologies. This thesis was focused on investigating ...

Steering CO2 bio-electrocycling into valuable compounds through inline monitoring of key operational parameters

Blasco Gómez, Ramiro (Date of defense: 2020-07-22)

Microbial Electrochemical Technologies (METs) are a promising alternative for capturing and in-situ reducing CO2 through the use of renewable electricity. Microorganisms grown in autotrophic conditions use CO2 as an electron ...
