About the project
The vision of the GlyCO2Chem project is to demonstrate a fully integrated, energy-efficient process that captures CO₂ from a variety of sources such as biogas plants and even directly from the air, and couple it with leftover glycerol from biodiesel production. The result is glycerol carbonate, a safer and more sustainable alternative to fossil-based chemicals.
Impact of the project:
This process reduces emissions and creates valuable products for the energy storage and transportation sectors, such as greener battery electrolytes and fuel additives. By validating the entire value chain from CO₂ capture to end-use, GlyCO2Chem aims for large-scale industrial adoption.
Funding instrument CETP under Horizon Europe
Spinverse’s role
Spinverse played a key role in bringing the GlyCO2Chem project to life, supporting everything from early concept development to building the right consortium and writing the successful project proposal together with the consortium. Spinverse experts in sustainable chemistry, carbon capture and public funding worked closely with the consortium to ensure that the project’s vision, impact and execution plan stood out in the competitive CETP funding call.
We were impressed by Spinverse’s ability to understand our technology and connect us with the ideal partners across Europe. Their structured approach and deep knowledge of public funding made all the difference in preparing a successful proposal.
