Process Design for the Valorisation of Captured CO2 Into Formic Acid Via Electrochemistry and its Further Conversion into High-Value Products
Short Introductive summary
This work presents the design and preliminary assessment of an innovative Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) process, where captured CO2 is converted via electrochemistry into formic acid, which is then further valorised to produce microbial proteins and microbial oil. The microbial oil is exploited for the production of either Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) or fatty acids and alcohols for applications in beauty care products. This work is part of the ICO2NIC project, funded by the European Commission.
