New EU project to convert CO2 emissions into value-added products

Do you know what PyroCO2 project is

A new innovation project called PyroCO2 aimed at demonstrating the large-scale conversion of industrial carbon emissions into value-added chemicals and materials kicked off last year (2021)

The project, largely funded by the European Commission, is being carried out by a consortium of 20 leading industrial and research partners from 11 countries and will run through 30 September 2026. The project has been awarded a total of €40 million in funding from the EU in support of the European Green Deal

Within the scope of PyroCO2, an innovative platform that turns industrial CO2 into chemical building-blocks using a new biotechnological approach will be established. These will then be converted further catalytically into a wide range of products, including other value-added chemicals (such as components for paints and plastic), synthetic fuels, as well as recyclable or biodegradable materials normally produced from fossil hydrocarbons
