24 May 202219 May 2022 Avantium awarded €3 million EU grant to demonstrate the electrochemical conversion of CO2 to consumer products Under the new WaterProof programme, Avantium will convert CO2, from wastewater purification and waste incineration into formic acid using its proprietary catalytic electrochemistry platform
23 May 20228 January 2023 Converting CO₂ through electrochemistry – The WaterProof Project Starting soon, the new research project WaterProof aims at closing the waste(water) carbon loop by creating a novel biorefinery concept converting CO2 emissions from urban waste treatment facilities into valuable green consumer-products. The objective is a technology resulting in a GHG reduction based on CO2 utilization, replacement of fossil feedstock and industrial electrification
CO2-Umwandlung durch elektrochemische Prozesse – Das WaterProof-Projekt Das im Juni startende Forschungsprojekt WaterProof zielt darauf ab, den Kohlenstoffkreislauf von Abfällen und Abwässern zu schließen, indem es ein neuartiges Bioraffineriekonzept entwickelt, das CO2-Emissionen städtischer Abfallverarbeitungsanlagen in wertvolle grüne Verbraucherprodukte umwandelt. Das Ziel besteht in einer Technologie, die maßgeblich zu einer Reduzierung von Treibhausgasen auf der Grundlage einer effektiven CO2-Nutzung, dem Ersatz fossiler Rohstoffe und industrieller Elektrifizierung beiträgt.
