Hereby, this innovative approach facilitates the exchange of underutilised resources, e.g. by-products, residues, energy, water, capacities, and expertise, keeping materials productive longer. By repurposing outputs as inputs, I-US can minimise resource extraction, cut costs, and advance objectives of the EU Circular Economy Action Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key criteria of this value creation are aligned stakeholder interest and the exchange of perspectives. Businesses benefit from reduced raw material costs, supply chain resilience, lower disposal expenses, and new revenue opportunities. Meanwhile local authorities and regions can profit from healthier ecosystems, economic vitality, and new job opportunities. These complementary goals drive economic resilience and systemic change towards sustained resource loops, higher recycling rates and enhanced regional sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To turn theory into practice, the EU-funded WaterProof project hosts the webinar \u00abIndustrial-Urban Symbiosis: Business, Funding, and Practical Insights\u00bb. Join on 24 March 2026 from 13:00 to 14:30 CET for targeted strategies and practical insights that will equip industry professionals and practitioners with proven I-US skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/WN_DzbuHOhTTzixm4se3Bp7_g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Register here!<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>The WaterProof Project and I-US Integration<\/strong><br>WaterProof implements I-US by developing a cutting-edge CO<sub>2<\/sub> conversion technology .

industry professionals, researchers and local communities work together to successfully close the carbon loop? On 17 June 2025, experts, students and future professionals from disciplines such as engineering, climate science and social research came together at the Saarland University to answer this question in an interdisciplinary workshop organized by the EU-funded WaterProof project. The event titled \u201cTransdisciplinary Perspectives in the Circular Economy\u201d aimed to bridge the gap between technological innovation, social acceptance and practical application. All of which are key factors for a successful implementation of Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) technologies in local communities and the establishment of a truly sustainable, circular economy. The event even took participants to the fictitious village of \u201cT\u00fclzweiler\u201d, where in a simulation game they had to deliberate a proposed CCU plant extension from a multistakeholder perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Collaborative approach for successful sustainable transition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The WaterProof project aims at developing an electrochemical process that converts CO\u2082 emission captured from consumer waste incineration and wastewater treatment facilities into formic acid. This formic acid can then be used in the creation of green consumer products, such as cleaning detergents, the tanning of fish leather, and special solvents (ADES) used in the recovery of precious metals from industrial waste incineration ash. In addition to the technological dimension, WaterProof follows a transdisciplinary approach, emphasizing dialogue among scientists, industry professionals, and community stakeholders to ensure that technological advancements align with societal needs, the specific needs of local communities and environmental objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This training workshop exemplified the project\u2019s commitment to knowledge transfer and collaborative problem-solving. Bringing together 12 participants from diverse fields, the workshop fostered lively discussion on the challenges and opportunities in closing carbon cycles while addressing the priorities of different stakeholder perspectives. Participants quickly recognised that integrating expertise from multiple disciplines is essential to develop robust and widely accepted solutions and public acceptance for CCU technologies and CO<sub>2<\/sub>-derived products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key assessment methods and simulation game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshop opened with an inspiring presentation by Lucas Albers from the nova institute, who introduced the group to the method of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as well as Social-LCA, showcasing the importance of social risk management and the challenges of gethering data on qualitative variables, stakeholder perspectives but also global supply chains. This session emphasized the necessity of expanding the use of LCA-methodology to S-LCA, as well as the implementation of academic exercises into practical applications of technology development and product acceptance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A highlight was a simulation game set in the fictitious village of \u201cT\u00fclzweiler\u201d. Here, participants assumed the roles of local stakeholders deliberating a proposed CCU plant extension. Immersed in their adopted identities ranging from residents and business owners to environmental advocates and technology providers, the participants navigated and discussed concerns such as extensive land use, social and environmental fairness, stakeholder benefits, and environmental impact. This exercise displayed the intricate web of considerations that shape the acceptance and success of circular technologies in local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"721\" src=\"https:\/\/waterproof-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WaterProof-Beispielkarte-Planspiel-1024x721-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waterproof-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WaterProof-Beispielkarte-Planspiel-1024x721-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/waterproof-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WaterProof-Beispielkarte-Planspiel-1024x721-1-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/waterproof-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WaterProof-Beispielkarte-Planspiel-1024x721-1-150x106.png 150w, https:\/\/waterproof-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WaterProof-Beispielkarte-Planspiel-1024x721-1-768x541.png 768w, https:\/\/waterproof-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WaterProof-Beispielkarte-Planspiel-1024x721-1-500x352.png 500w, https:\/\/waterproof-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WaterProof-Beispielkarte-Planspiel-1024x721-1-800x563.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Workshop outcomes and impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshop delivered several positive outcomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enhanced understanding: Participants gained hands-on insight into the complexity of implementing CCU technologies, benefiting from both technical discussions and role-play-based learning.

Yet, CO\u2082 is increasingly recognised as a promising renewable feedstock for the production of valuable chemicals and fuels. By capturing CO\u2082 emissions from industrial point sources or directly from the air (direct air capture, DAC) and converting them into essential building blocks, it is possible to reduce reliance on fossil resources from below ground, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and help drive the transition to a circular, climate-neutral economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent advances and innovations in Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) technologies are making it feasible to transform CO\u2082 into a wide range of products, ranging from base chemicals to advanced fuels. These innovations are not only closing the carbon loop of the chemical industry (defossilisation) but also enabling the integration of renewable energy and transport fuels (decarbonisation) into chemical processes, further reducing the environmental footprint of these vital industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spectrum of CO\u2082-derived chemicals and fuels is rapidly expanding thanks to breakthroughs in electrochemical, catalytic, and biotechnological processes. Some of the most promising examples include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chemicals <\/strong>such as Methanol, Formic acid, Ethanol, Acetic acid, Urea, Polycarbonates and cyclic carbonates, Organic acids (e.g., carboxylic acids, salicylic acid, malonic acid), Esters and lactones, Aromatics and olefins, Glycerol carbonate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fuels<\/strong> such as Synthetic gasoline, diesel, and kerosene, Methane, and E-fuels. <br>These examples illustrate the broad potential of CO\u2082 as a renewable carbon source for the chemical and materials industry and the energy sector, supporting the shift towards sustainability and circularity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To explore these exciting developments, the EU-funded research project WaterProof is hosting a webinar titled \u00abFrom Emissions to Innovation: CO\u2082-Derived Chemicals\u00bb on May 20th, 2025, from 13:00 to 14:30 CET.<br>The event will bring together leading experts including<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pia Skoczinski<\/strong> (nova-Institute) \u2013 <em>Renewable Chemicals from CO\u2082 \u2013 An Overview<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Francesca di Bartolomeo<\/strong> (SINTEF, coordinator PyroCO2 Project) \u2013 <em>Pioneering Sustainable CO\u2082 Conversion to C3 Chemicals and High-Value Lipids for Feed and Food Applications<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Albert Guisasola <\/strong>(Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), Vivaldi Project) \u2013 <em>Innovative bio-based chains for CO\u2082 valorisation as added-value organic acids<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eric Schuler<\/strong> (Avantium, WaterProof Project) \u2013 <em>Innovative Chemicals and Sustainable Polymer Solutions from CO\u2082 and renewable electricity<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Attendees will gain insights into the latest CCU technologies, market trends, and applications that are driving the shift towards a circular carbon economy.<br>Discover how CO\u2082 is being utilised as a valuable resource and learn about the innovations shaping the future of sustainable chemicals.
