ECOMO-EIC

18th November 2024 ECOMO celebrated its 1-year mark since its inception in November 2023 by gathering its partners online on 18th November 2024. All participants experienced an intense, but productive day with many new insights and valuable discussions. Partners from each work package presented their current status, and various synergies between the individual project partners were highlighted once again. As the project experiences geometric progression, the day ended with an illuminating hope for the success of our project. Stay tuned! ? ??

Check out the Strategic Plan of the portfolio "Carbon dioxide and Nitrogen management and valorization" funded by the European Innovation Council (EIC) in the European Union, which ECOMO is a part of. Through this plan, we advocate the clear need to address the nexus between carbon dioxide and nitrogeN-cycles in a holistic manner, in light of their important mutual impact on climate change and biodiversity of many ecosystems, and certain strategies that envelope the two cycles. ?? ??

Pioneering Innovations in CO2 and Nitrogen Management and Valorisation at EIC Portfolio Meeting More than 30 representatives from eight projects presented and discussed innovations at the European Innovation Council's (EIC) CO2 and Nitrogen Portfolio Annual Meeting in Helsinki in June 2024. Eight large-scale projects made up of 51 organizations from 12 EU Member States and 3 non-EU countries and funded by the European Innovation Council (EIC) under the Pathfinder Challenge 'Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen Management and Valorisation', shared their progresses and discussed pioneering innovations at the 'EIC CO2 and Nitrogen Portfolio'. On June 17-18, 2024, members of the portfolio came together in an annual meeting held in Helsinki. The meeting, hosted by Finnish food technology company and project partner Solar Foods, served to encourage and foster conversations aimed at reshaping Europe’s environmental future. ?? The eight initiatives - CONFETI, DAM4CO2, ECOMO, HYDROCOW, ICONIC, Mi-Hy, MINICOR, and SUPERVAL - are formed by multidisciplinary teams from universities, research and technology organizations, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises. Collectively, these projects have embarked on a common mission to pool their resources and expertise to transform pollutants and waste into energy and value-added products, in an economically and environmentally sustainable way. ? As the planet’s climate continues to warm, the urgency for effective action increases. Emissions of CO2 and nitrogen pollutants need to be reduced and can also be used as feedstock for valuable products. This sustainable and circular approach aims to enhance the effectiveness of sustainable practices and enable a greener, more liveable future. In this context, the EIC launched the Pathfinder Challenge 'Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen Management and Valorisation‘ in 2022, aiming to develop novel sustainable processes and technologies to capture and convert CO2 and nitrogen into useful products. This challenge focuses on different routes that integrate the capture and/or recovery of CO2 and nitrogen compounds. From here they are converted into value-added products or net-zero commodities, chemicals, fuels, energy vectors for different uses and applications, using renewable energy sources and non-critical raw materials. Reshaping Europe’s environmental future requires technical innovations and innovative policies to enable breakthrough products, processes and services to reach the marketplace. To ensure their successful uptake, the consortium is also joining forces to consider future ethical, societal and regulatory challenges that will enable European businesses and communities to access these developments and collectively contribute to a greener, healthier Europe.

ECOMO-EIC Project, funded by the European Union EU, is part of the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) 'EIC Pathfinder Challenge: Carbon and Nitrogen Management and Valorization' and joins forces with seven other Pathfinder projects: DAM4CO2, CONFETI Project EU, SUPERVAL, Mi-Hy, ICONIC, HYDROCOW and MINICOR. Together, we are developing new processes to capture and convert #CO2 and #Nitrogen into valuable products. ??All 8 projects aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, nitrogen losses, and carbon losses from the #energy, industrial, agricultural, and #livestock sectors. ?Learn more about #EIC Pathfinder Challenge projects: https://lnkd.in/dma_Dgc3 hashtag #Sustainability #Innovation #CO2Valorization #NitrogenEfficiency #AgTech #GreenFar https://lnkd.in/dma_Dgc3

On June 11, 2024, ECOMO organized a symposium titled "Carbon and Nitrogen Valorization: Sustainability in Focus". It was hosted by Dr. Hemlata Agarwala and Prof. Nicolas Plumeré at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Germany. The day was filled with scientific talks of high-level with visionary ideas and tangible solutions for the future of carbon dioxide and nitrogen valorisation. In addition to that, the insightful lecture from Dr. Francesco Matteucci, the Program Manager of the Portfolio from the European Innovation Council (EIC), on how to create a business from research results with a hands-on portfolio approach, left everyone wanting for more!

Embrace the future of sustainable industry with ECOMO! As global demand for materials rises, so does the urgency for eco-friendly solutions. ECOMO pioneers a revolutionary approach, harnessing renewable energy, greenhouse gases like CO2 and nitrates from wastewater, to create valuable building blocks for a range of materials. Through innovative electrobiocatalytic processes and cascade fermentation, ECOMO produces high-quality diamine monomers, essential for making various polymeric materials. What sets ECOMO apart is its scalability and potential to replace unsustainable synthesis methods. By utilizing readily available resources like CO2 and recycled nitrates, ECOMO offers a greener alternative to traditional petrochemical processes. Join us in shaping a sustainable future with ECOMO.

ECOMO celebrated its 7-month mark since its inception in November 2023 by gathering at its partner TUM’s campus in southern Germany on 10th June 2024, as the rains flushed the corn fields green. Despite the flooding of the river Danube, all participants arrived safely in Straubing and experienced an impressive day with many new insights and valuable discussions. Partners from each work package presented their current status, and various synergies between the individual project partners were highlighted once again. The participants closed the day with a typical Bavarian dinner and interesting discussions.
