Description

An innovative technological process captures CO₂ using aluminium waste and water, and simultaneously produces solid carbonates, hydrogen and heat. The result is a local, energy-positive circular solution that converts waste into valuable resources.

The Achievable Results

Upgrade technology readiness from TRL 2 to TRL 3, assess CO₂ capture efficiency and develop opportunities for collaboration with industry.

The Anticipated Benefit

Offers a sustainable and locally scalable solution for small and medium-sized CO₂ emitters, while reducing waste and promoting cleaner energy production.

The Allocated Funding

EUR 200,000 as of 01.10.2025.
