141 persons registered with an average of 75 participants attending during the whole event. In this webinar, the three Horizon 2020 sister projects C123 – Methane oxidative conversion and hydroformylation to propylene, ZEOCAT-3D – Development of a bifunctional hierarchically structured zeolite-based nano-catalyst using 3D-technology for direct conversion of methane into hydrocarbons via methane dehydroaromatization and BIZEOLCAT – Bifunctional Zeolite based Catalysts and Innovative process for Sustainable Hydrocarbon Transformation presented their research on the common topic of conversion of alkanes to olefins and aromatics.

Different speakers from the three sister projects gave various lectures.  The overview of the projects was presented by Joris Thybaut  (UGent for C123), Maria Tripinan (IDENER for ZEOCAT-3D) and Ana Villacampa (Fundació Eurecat for BIZEOLCAT).
