About the project
In the project, 30 first-of-a-kind robotic systems for wind turbine generator rotor blades repair are manufactured and developed by Aerones. This will enable faster leading-edge repair tasks and in similar or better quality than human personnel. The robotic rotor blade leading edge repair services will make production of wind energy more efficient, affordable and sustainable, while also considerably reducing the risks associated with human personnel working at heights.
Impact of the project:
Faster turbine repairs within 18 hours lead to reduction of 67% in repair downtime, avoiding 161,349 tons of CO2 emissions over a decade and enabling the production of additional 918,320 MWh in renewable energy.
Funding instrument Innovation Fund
Spinverse’s role
Spinverse experts supported Aerones with Innovation Fund project preparation services.
Spinverse provided a solid framework for structuring the proposal content and effectively highlighted areas that needed further improvement. What we appreciated the most was their advice, drawn from their extensive experience with various proposals.This added a valuable layer of expertise and significantly enhanced the quality of our final submission.

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.
