Concept

B-COR develops the benchmarking criteria necessary for comparing various emerging CO2 reuse technologies

based on their potentials at large scales in light of economic, environmental, and technological factors.

CO2 offers a great potential as an industrial

feedstock for fuels, chemicals, and materials in

low carbon production systems. Although in

some applications the utilization of CO2 as a

chemical feedstock is already applied at an

commercial level (such as with urea, salicylic

acid, and cyclic carbonates), there is still room

for improvement and a need for market and

innovation potentials to be explored. Besides the

already established technologies, there are those

that are currently on the edge of being applied,

the so-called emerging technologies. This

Pathfinder project aims to define criteria by

which the numerous CO2 reuse technologies will

have a sound basis for being compared against

each other. Model processes/technologies will be

chosen in order to demonstrate the use of the

criteria in a full life-cycle analysis while market

and gap analyses will indicate possible business

models, barriers to commercialization, and

crucial areas of technology development. A key

final output will be recommendations for

directions of future innovation projects including

a survey of relevant SMEs and start-ups.
