The LIFE CO₂IntBio project has proved the feasibility of an industrial symbiosis model between the biomass power plant and the CO₂ capture and purification plant, creating synergies that make both industrial processes more effective and sustainable:

• Use of waste gases from biomass combustion as raw material that returns to the production flow (33,000 tonnes/year are recycled, with a potential to recover up to 55,000 t/year).
• Direct electric and heat supply from the biomass power plant to the CO₂ capture plant to produce green CO₂ (with an estimated use of renewable electric energy of 7,475 MWh/year and of heat of 45,350 MWh/year).
• Operational support for the integration of both production processes.
