K1-MET at the Meet-the-Jury Seminar on “CO2 electroreduction, from scientific rigor to industrial reality”

On 1 October 2025 KULeuven hosted a Meet-the-Jury Seminar on “CO2 electroreduction, from scientific rigor to industrial reality” with presentations by Nina Plankensteiner from K1-MET and Prof. T. Burdyny from TU Delft.

Nina Plankensteiner presented results from K1-MET’s CO2 capture & conversion pilot plants running with real flue gas as part of the FFG project ZEUS in her talk “Closing the Carbon Loop through CCU in Steel Industry and Beyond”. Zeus is funded by the Klima- und Energiefonds and is carried out within the “Energieforschungsprogramm 2022”.

Nina Plankensteiner co-supervised the PhD thesis of Marieke van Leeuven at imec titled “Solid-State Electrolyte and CO2 Sorbent Materials for Gas Diffusion Electrodes” and was part of the examination committee at the public defence at KU Leuven.” A great PhD journey came to a successful end with this official event!
