CO2SMOS
Advanced chemicals production from biogenic CO2 emissions for circular bio-based industries
Description
CO2SMOS project propose an innovative solution to develop new technologies based on processes for the conversion of biogenic CO2 and renewable raw materials into high value-added (bio)chemical products for chemistry sector and bio-based industries. For this purpose, is set as an objective to develop an integrated platform of technologies that combine innovative processes of biotechnology, electrochemistry and cathalytic base, supported in the use of renewable sources and green hydrogen for its application on the development of new polymers of high benefits, biodegradable materials and/or biocompostable, contributing to the improvement of the competitivity and sustainability of the sector, through decarbonization and development of high benefits materials.
Objectives
-
- Development of new technologies for the CO2 conversion into high added-value chemistry products.
- Development of new bio-products and design of an integrated process with zero green house emissions for tis application on the bio-based industries value-chain.
- Creation of new business models and value chains on the chemistry sector and bio-industries based on the capture and utilisation of biogenic CO2 to obtain consume products.
- Improvement of the technological competitivity and sustainability of bio-based industries and chemistry sector.
- Integration of green hydrogen on the value chain of the chemistry and bio-based industry.
Actions
- Technical, financial and administrative coordination of the project.
- Development of bioprocesses and bioproducts: gas-fermentation of CO2/H2 and synthesis gas for the obtention of C2-C4 chemistry procuts.
- Dvelopment of bioprocesses and bioproducts: aerobic bioacetate fermentation and alternative sustrates for the obtention of high added value products.
- Techno-economical analysis, possible replicability and transference to the industrial sector.
- Support on the implementation of dissemination and communication plan.
Expected results
- Correct technical and financial deimplementation of the project.
- New advanced CO2/H2 fermentation-gas bioprocess and synthesis gas for acetate and butanediol production
- New fermentation bioprocess on liquid phase for the obtention of polyhydroxyalkanoate.
- Preliminary techno-economic feasibility study of new CO2 conversion processes and technologies.
- Scientific and technical publications, conference papers, potential patents.
R&D Line
- Advance fermentation process development (with sustrate in liguid and/or gas phase).
- Research in thermochemical processes and intensification of pressure processes for the transformation of plastics, biomasses and recalcitrant waste into value-added products.
- Development of bio-based materials with applications in adhesive polymers and coatings with special properties.

Circular Economy and Biotechnology projects:
LIFE VALPORC
The goal of the LIFE + VALPORC is to demonstrate a sustainable alternative to the management of pig carcasses and manure, focusing on the environmental problems derived from its current management and valorizing these wastes by transforming them into biofuels (biogas and biodiesel) and organic fertilizers,
LIFE SMART Hospital
The LIFE SMART Hospital Project has promoted the sustainability of the health sector through the deployment of best practices and available technologies, training programs and replication of experience.
VALOR-PLUS
The VALOR-PLUS supports the realisation of sustainable, economically viable closed loop integrated biorefineries through the development of new knowledge, (bio-)technologies and products that enable valorisation of key biorefinery by-products.
LIFE COLRECEPS
The main objective of the COLRECEPS project is the implementation of a prototype demonstration plant to recycle residual EPS and obtain EPS beads. With these pearls, new recycled EPS prototype products will be manufactured.
LIFE REVAWASTE
The LIFE REVAWASTE project (www.revawaste.eu) was born proposing the sustainable management of a broad spectrum of waste in an integrated plant or “Mixed Plant”.
LIFE EUCALYPTUS ENERGY
The LIFE EUCALYPTUS ENERGY Project consists of the pyrolysis of eucalyptus biomass for the production of electricity and biochar. It is intended to make use of the residual biomass of eucalyptus forest exploitation.
RECALZA
RECALZA proposes to develop a chemical recycling process of the generated polyurethane foam residues, to obtain the polyol again and re-manufacture new products (recycled soles) that meet the requirements for the footwear sector.
CONREPOL
The CONREPOL project will evaluate both chemical procedures based on the use of compounds that increase the surface polarity (silane coupling agents) of the waste and physical treatments with the same objective.
GREEN-CAR
The GREEN CAR ecodesign Project applies the ecodesign methodology to several components of the “electric vehicle” system: batteries, converter, charging points, conditioning systems and auxiliary systems from renewable sources
LIFE RESCATAME
RESCATAME represents a new system for the sustainable management of traffic through the use of models that predict pollution levels, which are supported by data collected by the network of air quality sensors, and that can help to execute a rapid action.
BIOREFINERÍA FT
The FT BIOREFINERY Project consists in developing a technology that allows obtaining 2nd generation liquid biofuels (synthetic diesel) and electrical energy, through the application of gasification and co-gasification processes, of different types of solid and / or liquid waste ( herbaceous biomass, lignocellulosic, glycerin, etc.)
BIALEMA
BIALEMA: RED for the production of Biofuels and its impact on food, energy and the environment. Conducted by Dr. Antonio Francisco Valdes Delgado (CUBAENERGIA).
BIORECOS
The BIORECOS Project aims to design and build a demonstration plant of a modular nature that allows, through pyrolysis, the production of charcoal and / or active coal, as well as the generation of electrical energy.
ENHANCE HEALTH
The ENHANCE HEALTH project focuses on environmental and health concerns related to air pollution produced by industries and waste incinerators in urban areas.
