Los puntos de los equipos se conceden en función de la adecuación de la solución al tipo de innovación buscada por Team for the Planet. Se basan en el análisis de una serie de factores:
Presentadas al comité científico : Tras las evaluaciones realizadas por nuestros asesores voluntarios, las innovaciones con mayor potencial de impacto se presentan al Comité Científico. Los directores generales son los responsables de la elección.
A clean and efficient biotechnology to capture and convert industrial CO2 into e-methanol.
Decarbonization and climate change.
Wespran's biomimetic FREED (Free Reactions using Enzymatic Electrocatalysis for Decarbonization) technology uses novel cofactor-free engineered enzymes paired with specific electrodes to capture and convert CO2 into clean added-value products (starting with e-methanol), used as feedstock or sold.
CO2 emitting industrials (refineries, steel plants, cement manufacturers, thermal power plants) using the added-value product (e-methanol) as feedstock or not: applications in biofuel (air and maritime transportation), chemicals and materials.
It is the cleanest and most efficient alternative, as the scalable solution addresses major pain points of other approaches: Applicable to flue gas with 1-100% CO2 concentration, Operating at standard temperature and pressure, No hydrogen required, only electricity and water, Performed on client site to avoid Scope 3 emissions linked to transportation, No biohazard related to waste onto the client site.
