The related projects CATCO2NVERS, CO2SMOS, and VIVALDI collaborate to address the environmental challenge of decreasing CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0emissions by developing innovative technologies based on Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) to convert CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0into high-added-value chemicals.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CCU is a diverse set of technologies that allow the capture and use of carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2<\/sub>) as a feedstock to produce essential carbon-containing products like chemicals, but also fuels and building materials. CCU technologies can allow various processes to reach net zero or even negative CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;emissions and are especially useful for carbon-intensive sectors where no or very few alternatives exist to reduce emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this context, the three initiatives have been funded with a total of \u20ac20 Million by the European Research and Development Programme H2020 to fill the gap of those CCU pathways that are still in labs, prototype, or pilot phases. By exploring different solutions and business cases, CATCO2NVERS, CO2SMOS and VIVALDI gather the expertise of international partners representing the entire value chain to transform the biorefineries into a new CO<sub>2<\/sub>-based industrial sector, contributing to largely decrease the carbon footprint of the industry and boost the European Union economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The commitment to collaborate and the holistic approach of the entire value chain position these initiatives as a promising pathway towards a more sustainable and carbon-efficient industrial future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About CATCO2NVERS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The overall idea of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/catco2nvers.eu\/\">CATCO2NVERS<\/a>&nbsp;is to reduce greenhouse gasses emissions from the Bio Based Industries transforming waste CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;from two bio-based industries into five added-value chemicals:&nbsp;&nbsp;glyoxylic acid (GA), lactic acid (LA), furan dicarboxylic methyl ester (FDME), cyclic carbonated fatty acid methyl esters (CCFAMEs) and bio methanol, with application in the chemical, cosmetics and plastic industry the project will process bio-based products replacing fossil material with a zero or negative greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CATCO2NVERS is focused on reducing industrial CO<sub>2&nbsp;<\/sub>emissions while exploring new procedures to produce bioproducts. With this aim, a bottom-up approach is used by the design and development of innovative catalytic technologies for the valorisation of CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;in the fabrication of different biobased products, including monomers for bioplastics production, using CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;streams from biorefineries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More information at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.catco2nvers.eu\/\">www.catco2nvers.eu<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About CO2SMOS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/co2smos.eu\/\">CO2SMOS<\/a>&nbsp;project develops solutions to transform the carbon emissions generated from bioprocesses and renewable sources (green hydrogen and biomass) into different sustainable bioproducts: durable polymers, renewable biochemicals, and biodegradable materials. With these compounds, it is possible to produce greener end-products such as packaging, coatings and textiles.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CO2SMOS integrated hybrid solution combines innovative biotechnological and intensified&nbsp;electrochemical\/catalytic conversion processes.&nbsp;The demonstration of the technical, economic and environmental sustainability of the different CO2SMOS technologies will allow the design of an integrated platform of CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;conversion processes for this industry sector.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More information at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.co2smos.eu\/\">www.co2smos.eu<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About VIVALDI<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Focusing on four key bio-industry sectors (Pulp &amp; Paper, Food &amp; Drinks, Bioethanol and Biochemicals), the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivaldi-h2020.eu\/\">VIVALDI<\/a>&nbsp;project transforms real off-gases into 4 organic acids: lactic acid, succinic acid, itaconic acid and 3-hydroxypropionic acid.

The feedstocks (methanol and formic acid) are produced via the electrochemical reduction of CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;that has been captured from industrial flue gases.
