NordCO2 is a vibrant Nordic consortium dedicated to advancing sustainable carbon dioxide utilization. Bringing together leading researchers, universities, and industrial partners across the Nordic countries, we focus on innovative solutions to capture and convert CO₂ into valuable products. Our mission is to accelerate the transition to a circular carbon economy through cutting-edge research, collaboration, and education. Together, we aim to reduce CO₂ emissions and promote green innovation for a more sustainable future.
Who are we?
In NordCO2, we take a multidisciplinary approach to develop novel catalysts for both energy storage and the conversion of CO2 to fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
