The Forest CUMP project focuses on the carbon dioxide emissions of the forest industry and waste incineration. The intended end-products would be polyolefins – polyethene and polypropene – which are present in Finnish everyday life in many products and packaging. The Forest CUMP project continues the work of the earlier BECCU project, which aimed at utilising carbon dioxide in the production of raw materials for polyurethane products such as insulation materials and industrial adhesives.
