Expected Outcomes

  1. Achieve a significant reduction in the production costs of CO2-based products, making them competitive with conventionally produced alternatives. This involves optimising the integration of CO2 capture, purification, and conversion processes.
  2. Demonstrate processes that minimize energy consumption during the entire conversion process, leveraging advances in process integration that can shift equilibria and the use of renewable electricity and available heat sources.
  3. Contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions by enabling the sustainable use of CO2, supporting circular economy principles through the valorisation of CO2, possibly aligned with CCS.
