Professor Liang Bin, Co-Executive Director of Tianfu Yongxing Laboratory, Undertakes Academic Visits in Belgium and Portugal

From June 20 to 28, 2025, Professor Liang Bin, Co-Executive Director of Tianfu Yongxing Laboratory (hereinafter referred to as "the Laboratory"), visited Belgium and Portugal to engage in technical exchanges on CO₂ capture and chemical looping hydrogen production at Ghent University and participate in the 22nd International Conference on Carbon Dioxide Utilization (ICCDU 2025). 

From June 21 to 23, Director Liang visited Ghent University, where he held technical discussions with Professors Yi Ouyang, Joris Thybaut, and Keven Van Geem, and toured their laboratories. During his visits to the university's chemical process laboratories and related research facilities, Director Liang systematically examined the university's research landscape and innovative approaches in relevant fields. He provided a detailed overview of the Laboratory's research achievements and industrial applications in CO₂  capture and chemical looping hydrogen production, leading to broad consensus on establishing international cooperation between the two sides. 

From June 24 to 27, Director Liang attended ICCDU 2025 and delivered a presentation titled "Collaborative Sequestration of CO₂  and Industrial Solid Waste through CO₂  Mineralization Reaction with Solid Waste". In his report, he elaborated on the Laboratory's technology for producing building materials through CO₂  mineralization reaction with solid waste. He emphasized that the Laboratory is collaborating with Sichuan University and other institutions to advance an industrial demonstration project with the capacity to process over 10,000 tons of CO₂  annually and to produce more than 150,000 tons of building materials. This technology marks a crucial step in transitioning from technological development to industrial-scale production, contributing to global carbon reduction efforts. 

Director Liang's academic visits not only advanced international cooperation on key technologies at the Laboratory and enhanced its global influence and academic reputation, but also marked an important step in integrating into the global innovation network for carbon neutrality.
