BECCU-project workshop on 10th of February 2021
BECCU is cooperative project between VTT, Business Finland and stakeholders from various industries. Our target is to perform proof-of-concept for the integrated production of biopower & heat, specialty chemicals and transportation fuels based on utilization of CO2 from biomass operations and hydrogen from water electrolysis or industrial processes. Key stages of the concept will be demonstrated during the project with VTT’s versatile pilot infrastructure.
