The main objectives of this project are: i) Perform proof-of-concept for the integrated production of biopower & heat, transportation fuels and specialty chemicals based on utilization of CO2 from biomass operations and hydrogen from water electrolysis or industrial processes, ii) Create new business opportunities proving ultimate novelty for producing fully CO2-based specialty chemicals such as polycarbonate and polyether polyols. Selected comparative P2X-concepts for CO2 utilization will also be evaluated (e.g. ash-treatment, SNG, methanol), iii) increase the TRL of studied unit processes and the techno-economics of the concept
