Climate killer becomes raw material: producing green chemicals and e-fuels from CO₂.
IQ Innovation Award for revolutionary raw material extraction from CO₂
"In order to effectively counter climate change, we must not only saveCO2, but ideally also consume the greenhouse gas as a resource. For this cycle, enaDyne GmbH provides the decisive building block with its technology, which uses theCO2 from industry for new products. This is not only climate-neutral, butCO2-negative- a real feat in the chemical industry, which was previously dependent on fossil raw materials. The number one climate killer thus becomes a valuable raw material. We see this as a real leap innovation and a breakthrough in the fight against global warming," says Jörn-Heinrich Tobaben, Managing Director of Metropolregion Mitteldeutschland Management GmbH, explaining the jury's decision.
