CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Circular economy is a regenerative economic model in which raw materials return to the natural cycle or the productive cycle.

The CO2 emissions generated in the transformation of products can also return to the natural cycle (biomass retention) or the productive cycle (chemical or construction product, etc.).

In the LIFE CO2IntBio project, the gases from a power plant that produces heat and electricity from biomass (renewable source), are captured, purified and reused as raw material that return to the productive cycle. 

ECOLOGICAL LABELING OF CO2-DERIVED PRODUCTS: ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATION (EPD)

The LIFE CO2IntBio project will obtain CO2 from the capture and purification of the combustion gases of a biomass plant that generates energy with the following characteristics:

  • Its origin is renewable (biomass combustion).
  • It is considered neutral in emissions.
  • The sophisticated treatment it receives, and the analysis of the product make it suitable for use in the agri-food industry.
  • The proximity of the supply reduces road transportation emissions.
  • It has an Environmental Product Declaration

THE CARBON CAPTURE AND PRODUCTION PLANT OF THE LIFE CO2IntBio PROYECT, AWARDED WITH THE INNOVADORES AWARD OF THE DIARIO DE CASTILLA Y LEÓN-EL MUNDO, IN THE CATEGORY "BEST PROJECT IN SORIA"

The Innovadores Awards of Diario de Castilla y León-El Mundo, recognizes the effort in innovation in the Autonomous Community of Castilla y León. Since 2010, "Innovadores", the first regional supplement in Research, Development and Innovation, informs Castilla y Leon´s readers of the projects and initiatives developed in the nine provinces.

LIFE CO2IntBio will be at EXPOBIOMASA 2021

EXPOBIOMASA, will be celebrated from 21 to 23 september in Valladolid, the biggest event at a national level.

An ENSO´s stand (pavilion 2, stand 241), will be possible to find information about the activities of the company: from biomass boilers design, to O&M services of the LIFE project about carbon capture.

There will be a special attention to the Energy Services Section for companies that wish to decarbonize their processes.

LIFE CO2IntBio at EXPOQUIMIA 2021

Carburos Metálicos, the leader company in industrial and medical gases in Spain, is one of the main companies of the chemical industry that will expose their innovations at the Smart Chemistry Forum, Smart Future, framed in the next International Chemistry Event (Expoquimia 2021), which will take place in Barcelona from 14 to 17 september.

COMMERCIAL USES OF CO2

"Green CO2" produced in the LIFE CO2IntBio project is obtained by the purification of the CO2 present in the combustion gases of a biomass power plant (renewable energy).

CO2 as a commercial product has multiple applications and is highly demanded by different sectors of activity:

CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION. CAPTURE, PURIFICATION AND USE OF CO2.

Increase of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere causes serious climate changes. 

More awareness and sustainability in production and consumption is needed.

Carbon Capture and Use Technologies (CCU), can contribute to climate change mitigation (reduction of greenhouse gases emissions). They separate CO2 from industrial combustion gases to purify it, condition it and use it later as a resource or raw material.

LIFE CO2IntBio at CONAMA 2020

LIFE CO2IntBio project will paticipate at the National Environmantal Congress (CONAMA 25020) at the North Madrid Convention Center, IFEMA, between May 31 and June 3.

During the days of the Congress, LIFE CO2IntBio project will be present with a stand (number 8) where detailed information abour the project will be offered. A poster about the project will be also exhibited.
