The objective of HICCUPS project is to develop an efficient and innovative solution to convert biogenic CO2 emissions from biogas obtained in wastewater treatment plants, into plastics. that can be used, mainly, in the food industry.
The concept of the project lies in the use of different technologies that allow carbon dioxide to be captured from biogas and converted into monomers or Building blocks that, after a polymerization reaction, give rise to a compound with excellent properties and completely biodegradable, with the capacity to be used in numerous applications.
HICCUPS will introduce separation membranes for the capture and purification of carbon dioxide from biogas in a WWTP operated by ACCIONA. ACCIONA will carry out the demonstration of the CO2 capture technology and its long-term stability.
