CatCO\u2082nvers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The core purpose of CATCO2NVERS is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from the biobased industry by developing five innovative and integrated technologies based on three catalytic processes (electrochemical, enzymatic, and thermochemical).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project aim is to transform waste-CO\u2082 from two biobased industries into five added-value chemicals: glyoxylic acid, lactic acid, furan dicarboxylic methyl ester, cyclic carbonated fatty acid methyl esters, and bio-methanol, with application in the chemical, cosmetics, and plastic industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HICCUPS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The HICCUPS project proposes a resource-efficient solution to convert biogenic CO2<\/sub> emissions from wastewater treatment plants into bio-based polymers for the packaging industry. The aim of the project is to develop an efficient process to electrochemically convert CO2<\/sub> emissions from water treatment sludge into monomers and polymerise them to produce the bio-based polymer, polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), for the food packaging industry.
PLGA is a polymer with excellent water and gas barrier properties that is fully biodegradable and can be entirely produced from renewable resources, making it a promising candidate to replace fossil-based polyethylene. To demonstrate the potential of PLGA, packaging materials will be produced using PLGA film coated paper and moulded plastic, including coated paper for food packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ICO2NIC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The ICO2NIC project focuses on promoting CO\u2082 capture and electrochemical conversion to transform industrial CO\u2082 waste into valuable feedstock, with the goal of reducing energy consumption, cutting CO\u2082 emissions, and enhancing economic sustainability. The project aims to capture and valorise waste CO\u2082, making CCU economically viable, and paving the way for substantial reductions in global emissions. ICO2NIC will combine advancements in CO\u2082 capture technology based on polymer membranes with a new gas diffusion electrochemical cell to convert CO\u2082 into formic acid. This formic acid will then be processed through biochemical methods to produce high-value goods and materials. ICO2NIC will create opportunities for substantial long-term CO\u2082 capture in the EU refinery sector, supporting decarbonisation efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PyroCO\u2082<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The PYROCO2 project will demonstrate the scalability and economic viability of carbon capture and utilization (CCU) using the innovative PYROCO2 bioprocess. Aim is to produce climate-positive acetone out of industrial CO\u2082 and renewable electricity derived hydrogen, as a platform for manufacturing chemicals and materials with a negative carbon footprint. The demonstrator plant to be built in the project will have a capacity of using 10,000 tonnes per year of industrial CO\u2082 as a raw material, equivalent to the annual CO\u2082 emissions of 2,200 conventional cars.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNICO2<\/sub>RN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The UNICO\u2082RN project tackles one of today\u2019s most pressing challenges: carbon dioxide (CO\u2082) emissions contributing to climate change. It targets CO\u2082 from biological sources such as biomass and organic waste. By capturing this biogenic CO\u2082 and transforming it
through cutting-edge technology, UNICO\u2082RN creates valuable ingredients and materials that support a circular economy. The project combines two innovative approaches: An advanced metal-organic-framework (MOF) based technology for efficient CO\u2082 capture and
purification, and specialised hydrogen-oxidising bacteria that convert captured CO\u2082 into useful compounds. UNICO\u2082RN uses captured biogenic CO\u2082 as a carbon source to produce microbial proteins for food and animal feed and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), biopolymers for biodegradable plastics and for durable material applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vivaldi<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

VIVALDI project is developing an innovative, sustainable, and cost-efficient biotechnological solution to convert off-gas emissions from bio-based Industries into CO2-based chemicals. In this way, the industry\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions will not only be reduced but will be used as a novel feedstock, lowering the dependency on fossil fuel imports and the exploitation of key resources such as energy, raw material, freshwater, and land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
