The Forest CUMP project is being carried out in close cooperation with company partners as part of the Business Finland’s Veturi ecosystems, which promote sustainable development. Borealis is one of the Veturi companies. Forest CUMP is part of Borealis\u2019 SPIRIT programme, which is focused on the green transition of the plastic industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a significant development project that supports our vision, in which the carbon dioxide emissions from industry could be utilised for the production of, e.g. durable plastic pipes out of them, which can bind carbon for long periods of time,\u201d explained Antti Ilves from Borealis.<\/p>\n
Building on previous carbon emissions studies<\/h3>\n
The Forest CUMP project continues the work of the earlier BECCU project, which aimed to use carbon emissions in the production of raw materials for polyurethane products, such as insulation materials and industrial adhesives.<\/p>\n
The project developed technologies and a process concept for an entire value chain from the bioenergy production and the capture of carbon dioxide, all the way to the production of chemicals and polymers. The Forest CUMP project is developing further the production technology of hydrocarbon intermediates developed in BECCU.<\/p>\n
About the Forest CUMP project<\/h3>\n
The Forest CUMP project, funded by Business Finland, is part of Business Finland’s Veturi ecosystem, which develops different kinds of solutions toward sustainable development and national carbon-neutral status with some of the most significant Finnish companies.<\/p>\n
The project was launched in August 2022 and continues through the end of 2024. Participants in the project include the leading companies Borealis, Neste, ABB, Mets\u00e4 Spring, Kemira, Vantaa Energy, Stora Enso, Kleener Power Solutions, Carbon ReUse Finland, Fortum, and Essity.
