The EIC portfolio
In 2022, the EIC launched the EIC Pathfinder Challenge: Carbon dioxide and Nitrogen management and valorisation which aims at developing novel processes and technologies to capture and convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and Nitrogen (N) into useful products, and in turn to reduce (i) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; (ii) nitrogen losses mainly due to agricultural practices; and (iii) carbon losses from the energy, industrial, agricultural, and livestock sectors.
The portfolio of this challenge consists of DAM4CO2 and the following other 7 projects:
- CONFETI - Green valorization of CO2 and Nitrogen compounds for making fertilizers - (ID: 101115182)
- ECOMO - Electrobiocatalytic cascade for bulk reduction of CO2 to CO coupled to fermentative production of high value diamine monomers (ID: 101115403)
- SUPERVAL - SUstainable Photo-ElectRochemical VALorization of flue gases (ID: 101115456)
- Mi-Hy - Microbial Hydroponics: Circular Sustainable Electrobiosynthesis (ID: 101114746)
- ICONIC - Integrated COnversion of NItrate and Carbonate streams (ID: 101115204)
- HYDROCOW - Hydrogen oxidizing bacteria engineered to valorize CO2 for whey protein production (ID: 101115118)
- MINICOR - MILD Combustion with Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide Reforming (ID: 101115506)
