Projects
Climate-leading Process Industry finances collaborative projects to accelerate the transition towards a fossil-independent process industry in Västra Götaland. Here you can read more about the projects that are underway or have been completed.
From synthesis gas to crackable feedstock via Fischer Tropsch synthesis
The project aims to investigate the most promising production routes to produce streams of short olefins (ethylene, butene, propylene) from raw materials based on renewable carbon sources such as...
West Coast Hydrogen Valley - resubmission
Klimatledande Processindustri financed the work on an application to Horizon Europe for a Large Scale Hydrogen Valley. The application was approved, but ended up on the reserve list for funding. As...
Methane pyrolysis for carbon black and hydrogen production
Methane pyrolysis has recently emerged as an attractive enabler for climate-neutral hydrogen production as the process does not result in any CO2 emissions. The aim of this feasibility study project...
Sweden’s Carbon Balance – Current Status and Potential Future Developments
To achieve a sustainable and efficient carbon supply, it is essential to assess both the current status and potential future developments. Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive data on Sweden’s...
From Field to Engine: Bio-Based and Biodegradable Lubricants and Hydraulic Oils
Modern agriculture relies heavily on machinery for fieldwork, forestry, and livestock management. This equipment requires substantial amounts of lubricants and hydraulic oils, which are typically...
End of Waste - From plastic waste to raw material
Plastic production from fossil sources leads to high carbon dioxide emissions, and increased use of recycled plastic reduces the need for new production. By recycling plastic that would otherwise go...
Carbon efficient production of methane or methanol from forest biomass
Sustainable methane and methanol can both play a key role in the industrial and societal transition to a low-carbon economy, including their use as fuels, hydrogen carriers, or feedstocks in the...
Hydrogen supply to the West Coast
The project aims to analyze and compare the costs of various concepts that enable the supply of blue/green hydrogen to western Swedish industries, both in the short term and as interim solutions while...
AgRawGas
Western Sweden has a large agricultural sector with by-products such as husks and straw, which currently have a low utilization rate. This is Sweden's first project that takes existing technology...
Biogas and high-value feedstocks from agricultural residue streams in Region Västra Götaland
The project aims to strengthen the conditions for expanded production of biogas and high-value feedstocks for the West Coast's process industries through increased utilization of agricultural residue...
CEROF – Circular Electrolyte Raw Materials for Organic Flow Batteries
The project aims to create an increased understanding of possible bio-based and recycled raw materials within the West Swedish Chemistry and Materials Cluster in order to manufacture circular...
Circular flows of plastic and textiles in healthcare
The healthcare sector is a major consumer of disposable plastic products, a high-quality stream that currently only goes to energy recovery. One possible reason for not addressing these flows is that...
West Coast Hydrogen Valley
This project aims, in collaboration with an already established and relevant consortium, to design a competitive project application that meets the purpose and assessment criteria outlined in the call...
Preliminary study on possible pilot plant for high-temperature electrolysis (SOEC) in Stenungsund
To transition the chemical industries in Stenungsund to climate neutrality, large amounts of fossil-free hydrogen will be needed. In the event that all hydrogen is to be produced via electrolysis...
Verifiable Sustainability Statements
The project's goal is to develop guidelines for how companies can communicate their sustainability claims in such a way that they comply with new requirements from EU directives regarding...
Power-to-food in Stenungsund
Green-On is developing the process concept "Power-to-Food" to produce edible oils and fats from renewable electricity, water, and carbon dioxide. The aim is to showcase the potential for integrated...
Flexible and robust hydrogen production and storage in Lysekil
The project aims to evaluate future scenarios for hydrogen supply to Preem's refinery in Lysekil and present opportunities for Preem's future refinery with a higher degree of electrification. In the...
Water and energy efficient process industry
There is currently insufficient access to fresh water in Stenungsund to meet the needs of both the municipality and the companies. This has led to the municipality being forced to severely limit new...
Hydrogen on the West Coast
The project aims to gather knowledge and map the future need for climate-neutral hydrogen on the west coast, within western Swedish industry and within the power and heating sector. Next, which...
Environmental analysis: Opportunities and obstacles for the electrification of industrial processes in the process industries of the West Swedish Chemical and Materials Cluster
Industrial electrification, also called Power-to-X, is identified as a priority development area within the Climate-Leading Process Technology effort area with the goal of establishing a new power...
Possibilities of digitization and digital twins - demonstration study on industrial and municipal water treatment plants
The demands on today's treatment plants are increasing, as outgoing concentrations of both traditional pollution parameters such as nitrogen need to be continuously kept lower and lower, while the...
Cost/benefit analysis for implementation of digitization/RTO technology at MEVA Energy
Digitization of the industry and implementation of Industry 4.0 are expected to fundamentally change how chemical industries will be operated in the future. Although the technologies are available...
Catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 for hydrocarbon production via methanol
This project focuses on Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU). The purpose of the project is to experimentally investigate CO2 hydrogenation to produce hydrocarbons that can be used in the chemical...
Inspection with drone-borne sensors
The project is a preliminary study on how drone-borne sensors can be used for inspection of process industries.
