    Plasma-assisted CO2 Recycling: from Earth to Mars

Project CREATOR - Plasma-assisted CO2 Recycling: from Earth to Mars - addresses CO2 recycling both at atmospheric pressure on Earth for green fuel production, and at low pressure on Mars for making breathable oxygen and fuels. It explores nanosecond pulsed discharges for CO2 conversion and and on ion-conducting membranes for product separation. It aims at providing a coupled and integrated description of both volume and surface kinetics in CO2 plasmas, from conversion to separation, from Earth to Mars.
