Circular economy is a regenerative economic model in which raw materials return to the natural cycle or the productive cycle.

The CO₂ emissions generated in the transformation of products can also return to the natural cycle (biomass retention) or the productive cycle (chemical or construction product, etc.).

In the LIFE CO₂IntBio project, the gases from a power plant that produces heat and electricity from biomass (renewable source), are captured, purified and reused as raw material that return to the productive cycle. 

The LIFE CO₂IntBio project will obtain CO₂ from the capture and purification of the combustion gases of a biomass plant that generates energy with the following characteristics:

• Its origin is renewable (biomass combustion).
• It is considered neutral in emissions.
• The sophisticated treatment it receives, and the analysis of the product make it suitable for use in the agri-food industry.
• The proximity of the supply reduces road transportation emissions.
• It has an Environmental Product Declaration

"Green CO₂" produced in the LIFE CO₂IntBio project is obtained by the purification of the CO₂ present in the combustion gases of a biomass power plant (renewable energy).

CO₂ as a commercial product has multiple applications and is highly demanded by different sectors of activity:

Increase of CO₂ concentration in the atmosphere causes serious climate changes. 

More awareness and sustainability in production and consumption is needed.

Carbon Capture and Use Technologies (CCU), can contribute to climate change mitigation (reduction of greenhouse gases emissions). They separate CO₂ from industrial combustion gases to purify it, condition it and use it later as a resource or raw material.

This website has been ecodesign to reduce carbon emissions generated by the visits of the web users.

Each visit to a website can emit between 1 and 3 grames of CO₂ equivalent, depending on how it has been designed.

The design of this web, has followed the recommendations of the Guide created by https://www.greenit.fr/ and it has been verified by the toolkits:  http://www.ecoindex.fr/ and http://www.ecometer.org/ 

Carbon capture is a process by which it is possible to isolate the CO₂ present in the gases that are emitted in the processes of industrial combustion or electricity generation. This would be the first process of the techniques known as Carbon Capture, Storage and Use (CCUS).

After its capture, it is possible to use carbon dioxide in the same place where it has been captured or transport it to the place of use, which constitutes Carbon Capture and Use techniques (CCU).
