At its facilities in Tübingen, Germany, CAPTUS partner Novis GmbH has developed and finalized a carbon capture and purification unit designed to recover CO₂ emissions from the chemical industry. The captured carbon will then be transformed into valuable bio-oils through microalgae cultivation and hydrothermal liquefaction.
The unit will soon be delivered to HyChem SA in Portugal, where it will be integrated into the demonstration process together with CAPTUS partner A4F – Algae for Future. The final step of the demonstration site, hydrothermal liquefaction of the resulting biomass, will be carried out by CAPTUS coordinator CIRCE.
In the video, Novis CEO Thomas Helle walks us through the technology, explains the system’s functionality, and shares insights into the role of carbon capture within the CAPTUS project. Discover how Novis is advancing carbon capture technology for Demonstration Site 2.
