Founded in 1918 and based in Turku, Åbo Akademi University brings a strong multi-disciplinary foundation and a clear commitment to advancing sustainable solutions. Their research profile “Technologies for a Sustainable Future” focuses on developing innovative technologies to replace fossil raw materials with renewable resources such as biomass and solar energy, supporting the transition toward a clean environment and a sustainable society.
Their expertise is highly relevant to Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU), with activities spanning:
🔹 CO₂ mineralisation to produce durable building materials
🔹 Conversion of CO₂ into fuels, including sustainable aviation fuels
🔹 Development of CO₂-based materials and biomass-derived alternatives to fossil resources
🔹 Integration of direct air capture and utilisation systems for renewable fuel production
They are also actively involved in cutting-edge projects such as CO2MET (converting CO₂ into methane using novel catalyst systems) and CATALYSE (integrating direct air capture and utilisation for renewable fuel production).
By joining CO₂ Value Europe, Åbo Akademi University aims to strengthen collaboration across Europe, contribute to new EU-funded projects, and actively engage in our network and activities.
