VTT and LUT University turn CO2 and green hydrogen into renewable plastics 

April 6, 2025 |

In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that VTT Technical research center of Finland and LUT University have completed a three-year research project on carbon capture and utilization. 

The project investigated different technologies for producing renewable plastic raw materials from carbon dioxide and green hydrogen. Renewable energy, hydrogen economy and forest industry’s biogenic carbon dioxide emissions present significant opportunities for new sustainable industries, according to the report.

The Forest CUMP research project of VTT and LUT University investigated how biogenic carbon dioxide from forest industry and waste incineration can be captured and converted into high-value-added products, such as polypropylene and polyethylene.
