Recently, the CO₂ capture container from project partner NOVIS was delivered to the HyChem industrial complex, marking a new step in the CAPTUS project.
Back in Tübingen at NOVIS a few weeks ago, the loading of the unit demanded seamless coordination and millimeter-perfect teamwork. Every detail mattered – and in the end, the container was positioned exactly where it needed to be.
A4F will be responsible for assembling the microalgae production unit. The system will use CO₂ generated from HyChem’s boiler, where natural gas is combusted, to assess the feasibility of capturing carbon emissions from an industrial source and using them as feedstock for microalgae cultivation.
The resulting biomass will be further processed into bio-oil by CIRCE. Its potential application within the biofuels value chain will be evaluated by CERTH.
This milestone reflects the continued progress of the CAPTUS project and the collaboration between partners to test integrated solutions for carbon capture and valorisation. We’re excited to begin the first trials soon!
