Project description
The isoSUS project addresses making chemicals from side and waste streams as well from CO₂. The goal is to identify the required processing steps for the selected side streams and products and how the selected processes can be optimised, including how the selected products can be separated. Furthermore, the entire processing chain will be evaluated through assessing its techno-economic potential. Utilization of side and waste streams promotes circular economy, sustainable development, low-carbon society, decreases emissions and improves self-sufficiency. The results of the project will increase the export potential of the companies involved.
The project consortium includes Tampere University, Natural Resources Institute Finland, University of Eastern Finland, University of Oulu, Borealis, Fortum, Solar Foods and TM Systems.
