The Challenge
Biogenic CO₂ emissions—originating from biomass-based processes like fermentation and biogas production—are often released into the atmosphere, despite their high purity and potential value. In a circular bioeconomy, this carbon should not be wasted.
CERNET addresses this challenge by capturing and converting biogenic CO₂ into valuable bio-based products.
This approach not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also replaces fossil-based inputs, supports industrial symbiosis, and transforms waste into a resource—paving the way for a more sustainable and climate-neutral Europe.
Our Approach
CERNET combines cutting-edge technologies to capture, convert and utilise biogenic CO₂. Using oxyhydrogen fermentation, thermo-catalytic and microbial conversion, the project transforms CO₂ into valuable bio-based products like PHA, L-alanine and ectoine. Mobile capture units, green hydrogen from electrolysis, and advanced purification methods ensure efficient, scalable processes. Integrated with renewable energy, CERNET’s approach supports circularity, industrial symbiosis and climate neutrality.
