About the project
The three-year project with a total budget of €4.6 million was kicked off at the end of 2025 and aims to deliver scalable solutions that will accelerate the transition to a circular, low-carbon economy. The process developed by the GlyCO2Chem consortium aims to reduces emissions and create valuable products for the energy storage and transportation sectors, such as greener battery electrolytes and fuel additives.
Impact of the project:
Glycerol carbonate is a safer and more sustainable alternative to fossil-based chemicals. The process reduces emissions and creates valuable products for the energy storage and transportation sectors such as greener battery electrolytes and fuel additives.
Funding instrument CEPT 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 highly 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.
