On November 24-25th most of the partners came together for a hybrid (physical and online) plenary meeting at the Shell Technology Centre in Amsterdam.
The partners appreciated to meet again and enjoyed the face-to-face interactions hindered for many months due to the pandemic. The partners discussed the status of the project and gained understanding about the key activities beyond month M31. Our partners from Shell hosted a great programme and very pleasant stay.
eCOCO2 project was selected to be presented as outstanding value H2020 project that already helps to deliver the European Green Deal objectives and climate neutrality.
The event EU Green Deal - Research and Innovation as a driver towards Climate Neutrality is a two-day event in Expo 2020 Dubai (3-4 October 2021) and it aims to highlight the EU’s excellence in research and innovation as a tool towards climate neutrality and sustainability, and the EU’s ambition of cooperating with partners toward the achievement of this global goal.
The event is organized by the European Commission, and it is hosted at the Sweden Pavilion, Expo 2020 Dubai. The event will host a high-level workshop on October 4 and a dedicated EU projects’ Networking Village during October 3-4 2021. The high-level workshop is organised as a hybrid event.

Within the eCOCO2 project we are aware that for the CO2-based fuels we develop to become successful, it does not suffice to only consider the product’s technical development. Instead, one of the aspects we also consider is the product’s social acceptance and the requirements for socially acceptable CO2-based fuels.
The project partner researching social acceptance is the Chair of communication science at the Human-Computer Interaction Center from RWTH Aachen University, Germany. To inform the public and scientific audience on why it is important to consider an innovation’s acceptance, as well as how this is studied, they made a series of #5 SHORT VIDEOS on the topic.
If you have half an hour of spare time and would like to broaden your knowledge, feel free to take a look!

We're proud of the new publication of Linda Verena Engelmann et al. from RWTH Aachen University.
The acceptance of emerging sustainable technologies can be a decisive criterion for success. CO2-based fuels, as a product approached with the eCOCO2 conversion technology, are no exception.
We know that acceptance is influenced by a variety of factors, such as perceptions of risks and benefits – which is why in this publication laypeople’s perceptions regarding toxic effects of CO2-based fuels were investigated as an aspect of risk assessment.

The eCOCO2 Plenary Project Meeting by month 18 successully took place the last two days. High level presentations of all WPs, fruitul discussions
and inspiring ideas with much more to come…
Thank you very much TEAM for your meaningful virtual interactions!
Online on 18th September 2020;
organized by INEA.
The meeting took place with live interaction of CO2 utilization and CO2 alternative fuel projects. Many sinergies and cross-exchange activities and ideas have been further identified and defined.
Do you understand what we scientists do in eCOCO2?
Help us to improve the comprehensibility of our research by taking part in our short survey.

Several topics of the workpackages WP4, WP5 and WP6 were discussed. The participants worked together in eCOCO2 technology limitations and CO2 stream specifications.
The answers and common understanding was captured in our Staircase Approach...
eCOCO2 Project Plenary took place in Aachen (Germany) from 28th to 29th November 2019, hosted by RWTH Aachen University.
During the first meeting day, eCOCO2 partners presented and updated the main results achieved during the first half project year. In the afternoon, a talk and interesting discussion with Prof. Wessling took place.
The second meeting day started with a visit to the test stands of the Fuel Science Center (FSC) and FSC-Seminar. The final event included parallel workshops where the partners had the opportunity to discuss and defined further steps.

Excellent participation and interesting discussions as a start point for this project!
Valencia hosted on 21-22 May, the Kick-off meeting of the new European project, eCOCO2. eCOCO2 is a research project funded by Horizon2020 EU Research and Innovation programme.
The Agenda led by the Project Coordinator Jose M. Serra (CSIC) included the partners´ & Advisory Board (AB) members´ presentations, H2020 rules and reporting aspects, WPs objectives and parallel work groups defining quantifiable plans and goals.
On May 1st the eCOCO2 project started!
The project will run over four years and 12 partners from 8 countries constitute the consortium led by Agencia Estatal Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC). The consortium will work together aiming to set-up a technology for conversion of CO2, using renewable electricity and water steam, to carbon-neutral synthetic liquid fuels for their use as transport fuel, and in particular as jet fuel, at high energy efficiency, very high CO2 conversion rate and moderate-to-low cost.
The eCOCO2 project receives funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement no. 838077.
