CO2 utilisation

CO2 utilisation envisions a circular carbon economy where captured CO2 is converted into a variety of sustainable and economically valuable products, reducing the overall carbon footprint.

CO2 utilisation industry is poised for growth, but there is still a significant need for more research and innovation. Denmark has the potential to emerge as a global leader in this field, sharing its expertise with Europe and beyond.
