Project: Harnessing potential of biological CO2 capture for Circular Economy
| Acronym | CooCE |
| Project Topic | The exploitation of CO2 capture, utilisation and storage technologies (CCUS) in industrial applications face significant challenges due to the high investment cost and the fierce international competition in the sectors concerned. Nonetheless, it is widely known that these industrial sectors currently account for 20% of global CO2 emissions, and according to the 2-degree scenario of the Paris agreement, they should represent half of the stored CO2 by 2050. In this frame, relevant sectors with high CO2 emissions are for example steel, iron and cement making, biofuel production and waste incineration plants, oil refining, gas processing, hydrogen production. The CooCE project has an absolute aim to accelerate the use of CCUS and revolutionize CO2 capture and utilization by closing carbon loops in a circular economy approach. |
