We are thrilled to announce that CoLAB Net4CO₂ will be part of the Technical Committee and a proud sponsor of the 22nd International Conference on Carbon Dioxide Utilization (ICCDU 2025), which we will be hosted for the first time in Lisbon, Portugal, from June 23-27, 2025. Under the theme “CO₂ for a Circular Economy”, ICCDU…
CoLAB Net4CO₂ had the pleasure of welcoming the National Agency of Innovation (ANI), represented by Sofia Couto, João Ferreira, and Ana Garcia. They had the opportunity to visit our laboratory spaces dedicated to prototype construction, CO₂ capture, and utilization, supported by the EU Recovery and Resilience Plan. The visit fostered insightful discussions on innovation, industry…
On December 19th, Fernanda Vieira represented CoLAB NET4CO2 at the ARCP CoLAB Day, showcasing our latest advancements in CO₂-based chemicals for CO₂ valorization. During the event, NET4CO2 highlighted its recent breakthroughs in the development of cyclic carbonates, a promising and more sustainable alternative to epoxides, which are widely used but known for their high toxicity….
A collaborative protocol was signed between NET4CO2 and COLAB4FOOD to drive innovation, with a focus on technologies and R&D aimed at reducing CO₂ emissions, advancing decarbonization, energy solutions, and geological CO₂ storage. This includes the development and validation of promising technologies for producing CO₂-based materials that can be integrated into food product development processes. It…
On December 3, eMetCO2 Partners gathered at Net4CO2 Facilities in Porto (Portugal), for the kick-off meeting of the new project “eNETmix technology for electrocatalytic production of Methanol from captured CO2“. This project is funded by an European grant through Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETPartnership program). CETP TRI 3 accepted our invitation and joined us to…
A collaborative protocol has been signed between NET4CO2 and the University of Aveiro, with a shared focus on research, development, and innovation in technologies aimed at reducing CO₂ emissions, advancing decarbonization, and promoting clean energy and geological CO₂ storage. This partnership will facilitate educational and scientific exchanges among faculty, researchers, and students through joint teaching…
In 2024, CoLAB NET4CO2, in collaboration with the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria (IPL), developed a cutting-edge CO₂ web portal designed to centralize and streamline emissions data. This platform integrates both reported emissions and satellite-measured data, along with other relevant insights, providing a comprehensive overview of the national CO₂ landscape. By consolidating this information, the portal…
On the 16th of October, Gustavo P. Rangel, one of the Net4CO2’ PhD students, won the award for the best presentation of the International Conference for Building Science, Technology and Sustainability (ICBSTS 2024) in Lisbon, Portugal. The presentation focused the use of genetic optimisation algorithms to optimise a simulation of the process of synthetic jet…
On October 17th, João Moura delivered a talk highlighting the crucial role of CO₂ shipping as a key component in the EU’s decarbonization strategy. As industries accelerate efforts to reduce carbon emissions, efficient and scalable CO₂ transport is essential for the success of Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technologies. CO₂ transport is one of…
As a full member of the CO2 Value Europe, the CoLAB Net4CO2 participated in the 8th CO2 Value Days & General Assembly in Grenoble, to discuss the role of CCU in the future Carbon Circular Economy.We had the opportunity to attend different meetings, discussion groups and presentations where impactful projects in Europe were discussed, focusing on…
