Over recent months, several Portuguese organisations have visited the CO2Capture Mobile Unit, operated by CoLAB Net4CO2 at the industrial facilities of BA Glass, as part of the CO24IND project.
The visits brought together representatives from industry, research centres and academia, including Galp, Change Partners, MCS Portugal, LIPOR, Secil, The Navigator Company, EDP, A4F, Hychem, CIMPOR, BA Glass, Visabeira, Prio, Revigres, Ria Stone, DS Smith, InnoEnergy, CapWatt, Agência Nacional de Inovação, Direção-Geral de Energia e Geologia, CTCV, the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), Instituto Superior Técnico and REQUIMTE.
During the visits, Net4CO2 demonstrated the operation of its mobile CO2 capture unit under real industrial conditions, providing an opportunity to discuss technological challenges and opportunities for carbon capture in hard-to-abate sectors. The meetings also enabled the exchange of knowledge and the exploration of potential collaborations in research, innovation and the industrial deployment of CO2 capture technologies.
These visits highlight the role of collaboration between industry and the scientific and technological community in advancing carbon capture solutions and supporting the decarbonisation of energy-intensive industrial sectors.
