The ALCHEMHY project is working to rethink how we produce some of the most important chemicals in our everyday lives, such as ammonia and methanol. Today, these chemicals are mainly produced using fossil fuels, which leads to high emissions. ALCHEMHY is exploring cleaner alternatives by using renewable electricity and hydrogen as key inputs. Through innovative technologies, the project aims to make chemical production more flexible, efficient, and suitable for a low-carbon future.
At the same time, the CAPTUS project is tackling another side of the same challenge: how to deal with CO₂ emissions from energy-intensive industries. Instead of releasing CO₂ into the atmosphere, CAPTUS focuses on capturing it and turning it into useful products, such as renewable energy carriers. By integrating carbon capture with renewable energy, the project helps industries reduce their environmental impact while creating added value.
A natural synergy is emerging between ALCHEMHY and CAPTUS . Both projects are coordinated by the same organisation and share a common goal: supporting the transition to a more sustainable and competitive European industry. While ALCHEMHY focuses on producing chemicals using green hydrogen and electrified processes, CAPTUS works on converting captured CO₂ into valuable resources. Together, they represent two complementary pathways towards decarbonisation: one reducing the need for fossil inputs, the other reusing carbon that would otherwise be emitted.
