We are working together with RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, Chalmers Industriteknik Renergy and IVL, in collaboration with Fortum, Nouryon, Perstorp Group, Preem AB and BASF. The goal is to identify bio-based and recycled streams within the cluster and evaluate how these can be sourced, separated, and refined, while also mapping their climate benefits.
- We strive to provide the most circular battery solution to speed up the energy transition in line with the Paris agreement. Collaborating with leading chemical industry actors within the cluster, to advance bio-based and recycled starting materials, perfectly aligns with our mission, says Dr. Lisa Åkerlund, Chief Technology Officer at Rivus and co-lead of the CEROF-project.
The project is part of a ten-year initiative, Climate-Leading Process Industry within The West Swedish Chemical and Material Cluster (Västsvenska Kemi- och Materialklustret), led by RISE and Lindholmen Science Park. This overarching project works to transform the region from the current fossil-dependency for its chemical production to become a global leader in sustainable chemical and materials production. Additional cluster members include Business Region Göteborg AB, AFRY, Borealis, COWI, Essity, Göteborg Energi, Meva Energy, Renova, Siemens Energy, Statkraft, Stena AB, Vattenfall, and more, with funding from Vinnova and Västra Götalandsregionen.
