GHG emissions reduction policies to mitigate climate change heavily impact on energy intensive industries, leading to loss of employment and competitiveness. In addition, variable renewable generation faces high risks from electricity curtailment if renewable surplus is not used. Carbon capture and utilisation technologies that make use of industrial flue gas and renewable surplus will play a key role in the clean energy transition of industry. Various technologies exist but most are still quite demanding in terms of materials and energy, being costly and inefficient. CAPTUS key objective is to demonstrate sustainable, cost-effective and scalable pathways to produce high-added value energy carriers by valorising industrial carbon emissions and integrating renewable electricity surplus. To this end, 3 complete value chains will be demonstrated at 3 different demo-sites: (i) Bioprocess based on a two-stage fermentation to produce triglycerides in a steel plant, (ii) Lipids-rich microalgae cultivation followed by hydrothermal liquefaction to produce bio-oils in a chemical plant, and (iii) Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to produce formic acid in a cement plant. The proposed technologies will be tested at TRL7, and the obtained energy carriers will be validated by upgrading studies. CAPTUS will also validate solutions regarding economic, environmental, societal and geo-political criteria, contributing to the development of novel business models, guidelines and strategies. CAPTUS has been structured in 8 WP, combining R&D activities, project management and demonstration activities. CAPTUS addresses this complex challenge by gathering a competitive consortium of 18 partners from 8 EU countries. Overall, CAPTUS innovations at technical, economical, managerial and social level will enable the consolidation of CCU technologies within 3 EII key sectors and leverage their benefits by reducing carbon emissions, increasing renewables share and producing valuable energy carriers ver más
