    PARADiSE
    the PlasmA RoAD to Solar fuEls


Project PARADiSE - the PlasmA RoAD to Solar fuEls - comprises a thorough theoretical, modelling and experimental investigation of plasma decomposition of CO2, a key step in the process of storing renewable energy in synthetic fuels. It aims at unveiling the mechanisms underlying plasma CO2 dissociation, identify the optimal conditions for a plasma reactor to operate, and produce a proof-of-concept prototype.
