With climate change posing an ever-increasing danger to people all over the world, many industries are searching for new forms of green energy or to improve current ones. With this in mind, the EU-funded project GICO will overcome the main challenges slowing renewable energy from overtaking as the backbone of the energy system. To achieve this, the project will further the development of new materials and technologies. The list includes high-temperature inorganic removal sorbents, CO2 capture sorbents, hydrothermal carbonisation and sorption enhanced gasification. It will also develop small to medium-scale biomass plants to improve the perceptions people have of energy plants.
