Last May, Gaetano Anello from TUE had the opportunity to present part of his work within the Bio-MeGaFuel Project on membrane reactor modeling for methanol production at the International Symposium on Chemical Reaction Engineering and the Asian Pacific Chemical Reaction Engineering Conference (ISCRE29 & APCRE11) in Seoul, South Korea.

The conference once again brought together researchers and industry professionals from around the world to exchange ideas and discuss recent developments, emerging opportunities, and future challenges in chemical reaction engineering.

The event provided a valuable platform to share our research and engage with experts in reaction engineering, catalysis, and process intensification. The insightful discussions and feedback received during the conference will help guide the future development of this work.

The scientific program also featured inspiring plenary lectures by Professor Dion Vlachos, who discussed electrified and high-temperature thermocatalytic reactor technologies, and Professor Kevin Van Geem, who addressed the transition from fossil-based feedstocks to renewable carbon sources and the rethinking of the petrochemical value chain. Their presentations offered valuable perspectives on the future of chemical reaction engineering and sustainable process development.

“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my students and colleagues at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e)—Diana Stanciu, Tijs de Weerd, Anita Jose, Claudia Andrea Revilla Pacheco, and Fausto Gallucci—for their collaboration, support, and invaluable contributions to this work. I would also like to thank the organizers of ISCRE29 & APCRE11 for delivering an excellent scientific program and creating a stimulating environment for discussion, knowledge exchange, and collaboration.“- said Gaetano Anello.
