Important results from the project
The project met its core goals of international market validation and securing early pilot pathways. We mapped demand at an event in Denmark and validated UK entry strategies via physical meetings. Key outcomes include a joint EU grant application with an electrolyzer company, discovering waste heat integration with other industries, and exploring a consortium for CO2 storage with a concrete technology spin-out.
Expected long term effects
The results de-risk our expansion and broaden our addressable market. Ties with UK research centers guide our future deployment timeline. Collaborations within electrolysis and concrete open direct technical pathways into the e-fuels and construction sectors. Furthermore, integrating waste heat from other industries into our CO2 regeneration loop creates a scalable, low-cost operational model we can replicate globally.
Approach and implementation
The project followed the planned activities and timeline. Physical site visits and lab tours proved critical, providing a reality check on UK infrastructure and allowing us to see how adjacent technologies physically complement ours. The main unexpected events were positive: uncovering waste heat synergies with other industries and a concrete storage application. All collaborations worked effectively and as intended. We also got help from an external source to analyze our findings.
