EARTO Innovation Awards 2022 Attributed to HELMHOLTZ-INERATEC and VTT
Congratulations to EARTO Members HELMHOLTZ and VTT who were awarded the EARTO Innovation Awards 2022 today during a ceremony held at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium.
- HELMHOLTZ in collaboration with INERATEC received the award in the Impact Delivered category for the development of sustainable e-Fuels and chemicals as well as modular chemical plants for Power-to-X and Gasto-Liquid applications which actively contribute to a more sustainable future with lower emissions by providing a sustainable solution for hard to defossilise sectors.
- VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland received the award in the Impact Expected category for the development of a technology to reuse CO2 in the precast concrete industry, which transforms gaseous CO2 into solid carbonates at the concrete hardening process, decreasing the carbon footprint of the products.
