    Research Summary
    Purpose
    • Establish a multi-institutional global joint research center for original technology development and demonstration, with participation from top-tier Korean and U.S. researchers.
    • Develop original technologies with broad applicability capable of achieving high energy conversion efficiency throughout the entire C2H (CO₂ to Hydrogen) cycle.
    Research Content
    • Create added value by integrating technologies traditionally developed separately under either the carbon reduction cycle or the hydrogen cycle.
    • Identify and connect core technologies including CO₂ capture, conversion, storage, production, and utilization, and construct a unified research platform and plan.
    Consortium Features
    Domestic Institution
    • Advanced catalyst interface analysis technology and mechanistic research capabilities at the global top level.
    • Holds cutting-edge techniques for atomic-level catalyst reconstruction using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and simulations, with publication in Science.
    International Institution
    • End-to-end CO₂ capture and conversion solutions, from fundamental technology to commercialization.
    • Possesses synthetic fuel technology with higher selectivity compared to domestic standards.
    • Operates one of the world’s most advanced platforms for CO₂ capture and conversion.
    Outcomes, Applications & Expected Impact
    Research Outcome Utilization
    • Establish a catalyst design methodology and modularization strategy by identifying reaction mechanisms in CO₂ capture/conversion and hydrogen production/utilization.
    • Develop core business technologies through continued integration and comparative analysis of technologies, ultimately implementing the full C2H cycle.
    Industry Impact via Joint Research
    • Modularize key technologies developed through this project to support broad application across hydrogen utilization and carbon neutrality fields.
    • Promote the creation of new derivative industries by tailoring key technologies to industry-specific demands and enabling selective adoption.
