Recycling CO2 from industrial processes to new raw materials

A feasibility study shows potential and concepts for industry in Baden-Württemberg in dealing with CO2 emissions. They can be separated, prepared with biological or hybrid technologies and made available as a renewable carbon source for numerous industrial applications and products.

greenhouse gas emissions arise with a variety of industrial processes. These process -related CO _{2 - avoiding emissions such as cement production, waste incineration or biogas production is difficult or even impossible. Other solutions are required so that such branches of industry can also become climate -neutral. One possibility is to separate the resulting CO 2 you, to prepare it with biological or hybrid technologies and thus to make it available as a renewable carbon source for numerous industrial applications and products. This process is summarized under the term "Biological Carbon Capture and Use" (CCUBIO). What potential application and value there are for this CO 2 recycling from industrial emissions in Baden-Württemberg, shows the recently published feasibility study by Environmental Technology BW , University of Stuttgart and Fraunhofer IGB , which the Environment Ministry as part of the country strategy for a sustainable bioeconomy}

Co _{2 recycle with sustainable bioeconomy}

"So that we as an important economic and industrial location can achieve our goal 'climate neutrality by 2040', we have to succeed in transformation into a climate-neutral industry," emphasized the Environment Minister Thekla Walker . It is therefore essential that Baden-Württemberg encounters when building up and expanding innovative air conditioning technologies. "3.5 billion years ago, bacteria produced in the atmosphere Co 2 and thus made the earth habitable for plants and animals. We want to technically use this ability in the current climate crisis and gain raw materials," continued the environmental and climate minister. "The study now published builds on it and examines options for CO _{2 - emissions directly from industrial emissions that cannot be avoided. This sector of the sustainable bioeconomy makes an important contribution to climate protection that we will further expand as part of our national strategy," said the Minister.}

study sees Ccubio as an economic future model

The Institute for Bio-Process Technology at the University of Stuttgart, the Fraunhofer Institute for interface and bio-procedural technology (IGB) and the State Office for Environmental Technology BW have in common in the feasibility study, what potential CCUBIO offers for industry in Baden-Württemberg and what are used with Developed can. Exhaust gases from different branches of industries with high CO _{2 emissions in Baden-Württemberg (cement, glass, automotive and energy industry), identifies suitable technologies and identified their co. In addition, the feasibility study shows a project approach and funding opportunities for the future implementation based on the industries under consideration.}

ccubio with biological and hybrid processes is an economic future model that is one of the few options, especially for branches of industry with high process -related emissions, Co. To be used 2 not only released into the atmosphere and become climate -neutral in the long term, according to the study. Early installation of efficient climate -neutral systems could bring the decisive market advantage and technology leadership in the coming years. Therefore, the study is recommended to tackle the industrial application of the technologies as soon as possible and together.

Biological processes in which Co _{2 2 recycling is an important addition to plant photosynthesis (biomass production) in the future.}

the now published Feasibility study (PDF) was as part of the country strategy for a sustainable bioeconomy fundamentally funded in the state Roadmap for the establishment of a focus of development CO2 recycling in Baden-Württemberg , which was presented in a recently published study by the Fraunhofer Institute for System and Innovation Research (ISI).
