Partner Projects

One of Flexby´s tasks is to ensure the project is effectively networked with relevant European projects and initiatives. This task is led by CO2 Value Europe who are a non-profit association representing the Carbon Capture and Utilisation community in Europe.

CO2 Value Europe aims to advance and market sustainable industrial solutions that capture and convert carbon into valuable products. Their mission is to contribute to the global reduction of CO2 emissions, substitute fossil carbon, and enhance circularity in production systems.

They bring together a diverse and extensive range of members, including industry representatives, the renewable energy and waste management sectors, technology developers, start-ups, universities, research centers, and regional clusters.

As part of Flexby´s clustering activities, close collaboration will be established with related EU funded projects, the details of which can be found below.

PYSOLO

Biomass, with its high carbon content, is an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to conventional hydrocarbons. Heating it in the absence or limited supply of oxygen (pyrolysis) converts biomass into valuable energy products: liquid bio-oil, solid biochar, and pyrogas. The EU-funded PYSOLO project plans to make this process fully renewable by supplying the required high-temperature process heat from concentrated solar power (CSP), supported by a thermal energy storage (TES) system for times when solar energy is insufficient. Two additional pathways will provide the heat when both CSP and TES are depleted: conversion of a fraction of the available pyrolysis product, and conversion of low-cost excess electricity from renewable energy sources including photovoltaic and wind via an electrical (induction) heating system.

Fuels-C

Advanced biofuels represent an important piece of the puzzle in the EU’s quest for climate neutrality as they contribute to decarbonising transport sectors and decrease the EU’s dependence on fossil fuels. Fuels-C aims to contribute to this quest by increasing the availability of two liquid and two gaseous advanced biofuels for maritime and road transports, produced from biogenic organic wastes and CO2. Fuels-C will develop an integrated platform of innovative energy-efficient conversion technologies validated at TRL5 including bioelectrochemically assisted CH4 production, bioelectrochemical NH3 production, gasification, microbial electrosynthesis, and electroreduction.
