Turning CO₂ Waste into a Resource: The ICO2NIC Project
The European Union (EU) awarded €14 million to a new EU-funded project, ICO2NIC (Innovative electrochemical CO2 Conversion to Versatile Feedstock), which aims to transform industrial CO2 waste into valuable materials through innovative climate technologies. Launched in January 2025, the project represents a key step in the EU’s goals for a more sustainable industrial future
