CO2SMOS project

CO2SMOS is a Horizon2020 project funded by the EU to help bio-based industries develop circular approaches and reduce their carbon footprint. In order to achieve this goal, CO2SMOS will develop solutions to transform the carbon emissions generated from bioprocesses into different sustainable bioproducts like durable polymers, renewable biochemicals and biodegradable materials. With these compounds, it is possible to produce greener end-products such as packaging, coatings, textiles and materials for biomedical applications. The demonstration of the technical, economic and environmental sustainability of the different CO2SMOS technologies will allow the design of an integrated platform of CO2 conversion processes for bio-based industries. This will help them achieve zero or even negative carbon emissions as well as replace fossil-based chemicals with more sustainable ones using renewable sources (green H2 and biomass) and CO2 as main raw materials.
