Wanted: Ideas for re-using CO2

This call is aimed at pro­jects that will begin in Septem­ber (or earli­er) and pro­duce mean­ing­ful res­ults with­in 2016. EnCO₂re will add new work­streams in the second half of 2016. So we are look­ing for: 

• Pro­jects related to any ele­ment of the CO₂ value chain, from cap­ture to con­ver­sion, and logistics.
• Organ­iz­a­tions that bring indus­tri­al and/​or start-up per­spect­ives with path­ways to commercialization.
• Tech­no­lo­gies and demon­stra­tions for CO₂-based products, espe­cially inter­me­di­ates and polymers.
• Busi­ness-mod­el innov­a­tions that sup­port the devel­op­ment of a CO₂ re-use value chain.
• Oth­er innov­a­tions, includ­ing incent­ives, that advance pro­gress toward large-scale re-use.

The call is struc­tured in two phases. The first phase requests a short Expres­sion of Interest using a com­mon tem­plate by 27 May. In the Call pro­file you can find details on the call. You will find some help in the instruc­tions for Expres­sion of Interest. If your ideas meet our interests and require­ments you will be invited soon after 10 June to hand in a full pro­pos­al by 1 July. Because we are an open innov­a­tion pro­gramme and would like to be as inclus­ive as pos­sible, we urge all parties inter­ested in join­ing enCO₂re to sub­mit an Expres­sion of Interest, even if they do not have a pro­ject that can begin in 2016. Sub­mis­sions should be emailed to ted.grozier(at)climate-kic.org. Source: EIT Climate-KIC
