Horizon prize CO2 reuse will reward innovative products utilising CO2 that could significantly reduce the atmospheric emissions of CO2 when deployed on a commercial scale.
The prize will induce actors in field of CO2 re-use to do more to improve their processes and products in order to reduce atmospheric emissions of CO2. Moreover, the prize aims to mobilise and enhance private R&D Iinvestment, attract non-traditional players, create new partnerships and incentivise researchers and innovators to enhance efforts to abate emissions of anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere.
The contest has been launched and applications are accepted until 3 April 2019. See here for the application process.
EnCO2re is an innovation and market development programme for CO2 re-use. Our vision is a balanced and prosperous market for re-used CO2, beginning with a focus on polymers and chemical intermediates. Our ambition is large-scale CO2 re-use through the establishment of a CO2 value chain.
EnCO2re is a flagship programme from Climate-KIC, Europe’s largest public-private partnership addressing climate change. Climate-KIC is supported by the EIT, a body of the European Union.
