Laymans Report LIFE CO2IntBio

f the LIFE CO2IntBio project summarizes the general objectives, actions and results obtained since the beginning of the project in June 2019.

This report explains the actions developed to reach the main objective of the project: "CO2 emissions reduction by industrial integration and the value chains creation".

REPLICABILITY PLAN

As a part of the project, it has been studied the replicability potential of the project results and the possibilities of transfer the project knowledge (results, technology, procedures) to other industries of the same or other different industrial sectors. 

The report "Replicability and Transferability potential assesment" of the LIFE CO2IntBio project, examinates specially the industrial model symbiosis developed in the project from a regional and national perspective. 

GREEN CO2 LIFE CYCLE ASSESMENT

The Life Cycle Assement (LCA) for green CO2, aims to quantify environmental impacts associated to the product green CO2 produced in the LIFE CO2IntBio project. 

This LCA is the basis for the development of the Environmental Product Declaration associated to the green COand for its elaboration has been used the Product Category Rules described in the register system for the DAP (Environdec).

 

LIFE CO2IntBio PROJECT BASELINE REPORT

The Life Cycle Assesment (LCA) is a methodology that allows the evaluation of the environmental impacts of a product or service. 

In this case, thanks to the LCA it is possible to compare the environmental impacts associated to the CO2 synthesis in different manufacturing scenarios, analysing the impacts of the different lyfe cycle stages for every production case: obtaining raw materials, manufacturing, distribution, use and end of life.

Specific, the LIFE CO2IntBio project report, asses the impact of  CO2 synthesis:

LIFE CO2IntBio INDUSTRIAL SYMBIOSIS MODEL

Circular economy is a model of regenerative economy where raw materials come back to the natural cycle or the productive cycle. This way, the product value, materials and resources are maintened in the value chain the most time possible. 

Innovation is key for the transition to a new economic model. Business collaboration and sinergies creation between different industries become a tool to develop a systemic approach of circular economy into the industrial sector. 

CO2 MARKET RESEARCH. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

COmarket has a great growth projection especially due to the development of new COapplications, especially as a sustainable alternative to other chemical products frequently used currently. 

This is very interesting for positioning the Green CO2 produced in the LIFE CO2IntBio project, with a 100% renewable origin, wich provides added value for its use as raw material by companies that are increasingly aware of environmental values.
