Nina Plankensteiner presented her research at the 11th IUPAC International Conference on Green Chemistry (ICGC).

Her presentation focuses on CO₂ electrolysis using real industrial CO₂ captured from an integrated steel mill. The study demonstrates, for the first time, the integration of amine-based CO₂ capture with a TRL 6 pilot-scale electrolysis unit to produce CO for reuse in the steel industry.

The results highlight the potential of this technology for industrial CCU value chains, achieving up to 1 t CO2/day conversion with 80–90% selectivity to CO. A further step towards closing carbon cycles in the steel industry.
