🏭 🧪 🌍 Successfull CO₂ conversion starts with effective carbon capture.  At the Nuada headquarter in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the consortium partners of the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) funded #UNICO2RN project explored Nuada's unique Metal Organic Framework (MOF) pallets in action, enabling vacuum based CO₂ capture of various purities and compositions.  Two days filled with promising results, transformative ideas and commited research. Thanks to the Nuada team for their hospitality and great organisation. 🦄 🚀 The #UNICO2RN team persues the conversion of biogenic CO₂ into proteins for food and feed and biogegradable bioplastics! The project uses modular MOF capture and HOB fermentation technology, paving the way for sustainable food, feed, and materials with 80% less energy and 75% lower GHG emissions. ​ 🌐 ✉️ Subscribe to the UNICO2RN newsletter at www.unico2rn.eu for the latest updates. ​ 🎯 Key objectives: 🔸 Develop high-purity MOF-based CO₂ capture from varied biogenic sources.​ 🔸 Demonstrate bioconversion to proteins, PHA plastics, and amino acids at TRL7 sites in Germany/Netherlands. 🔸 80% lower energy use, 75% reduced GHG emissions.​​ 🔸 Validate complete process chains including safety, LCA, and market strategies. ​ 🌐 An interdisciplinary team from 7 countries: VITO(BE, coordinator, www.vito.be), nova-Institut GmbH (DE, www.nova-institute.eu), CO2BioClean GmbH (DE), Aerbio (NL), SABIOMATERIALS (IT), MOF TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED (UK), IDENER.AI (ES), Veolia | Belgium & Luxembourg (BE, www.veolia.be), Lesaffre (FR, www.lesaffre.com), NIZO (NL, www.nizo.com) and Nuada ​ More project details at www.unico2rn.eu! #CCU #UNICO2RN #BiogenicCarbon #BioEconomy #CircularEconomy #MOF #PHA #RenewableCarbon
