More than 245 participants from 30 countries across the world attended the Innovation Award ceremony at the Conference on CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals 2023 (www.co2-chemistry.eu<\/a>) in Cologne, Germany and online. The conference is one of the most established events on CCU for the entire Power-to-X industry and its customers worldwide. This year\u2019s 11th edition showcased the latest and most important developments in the fast-growing field of CO\u2082 capture and utilisation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the ceremony, six nominees had the opportunity to present their innovative CCU solutions to a broad audience of international experts, while nearly 200 people selected the three winners in an audience live voting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From materials that improve carbon capture to the production of proteins and CO2<\/sub>-based building materials, the three winning CCU innovations open the road to transition away from fossil resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The innovation award \u201cBest CO\u2082 Utilisation 2023\u201d granted to CellCO\u2082 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The innovation award \u201cBest CO\u2082 Utilisation 2023\u201d has been granted to CellCO\u2082, an outstanding solution developed by the German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research (DITF). By combining bio-based carbon sources and CCU, CellCO\u2082 successfully manages to incorporate two of the three pathways to renewable carbon solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CellCO\u2082 is a CO\u2082 adsorber material based on amines functionalised cellulosic fibre materials e.g., non-woven. The technology starts with the conversion of cellulosic fibres into non-woven followed by chemical modification of the surface with amines. The advantage of using non-woven is the open, air-permeable structure allowing a high air throughput. Furthermore, non-woven also have a large specific surface area, which is advantageous for binding the largest possible volumes of CO\u2082. Due to the structure, the material can be used in a continuously operating process that permits continuous and energy-saving operation (www.ditf.de<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arkeon was awarded the second prize for its innovative technology leveraging archaea microorganisms that naturally produce all the building blocks of proteins in only one fermentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Austrian company\u2019s process converts CO2<\/sub> directly into amino acids and functional peptides, enabling an entirely new world of food products. With a team that comprises archaea biologists, process engineers, food scientists and fermentation technologists, the company is on a mission to change food production on a global scale (www.arkeon.bio).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultra-low Carbon Concrete by the US company CarbonBuilt won the third prize for its visionary carbon utilisation technology reducing the embodied carbon of concrete by 70\u2013100%, hereby helping to establish sustainable low-carbon solutions in the building sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology replaces cement with a proprietary mix of low-cost, low-carbon industrial waste materials. The used CO2<\/sub> is captured from on-site waste biomass incineration or emerging Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies to cure (harden) the mix into concrete, storing the CO2<\/sub> permanently. As CO2<\/sub> becomes the key ingredient in ultra-low concrete production, CarbonBuilt expects to be one of the world\u2019s largest purchasers of captured carbon and thus accelerate the development of capture technologies (www.carbonbuilt.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
