Carbon capture is a method that aims to reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and thus slow down climate change. The method separates carbon dioxide from the gas flow generated in industrial processes and stores it, for example, underground or on the seabed. This method is called CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage). Abbreviation refers to the phases and techniques associated with fossil carbon capture (capture) and storage (storage).
In CCU technology, carbon dioxide recovered is used as a raw material. Synthetic fuels or even plastics can be made from carbon dioxide. CCU technology is developing strongly around the world, with more and more commercial products coming to market in the next few years.

FF-FUTURE is strongly represented in VTT’s development projects. The contribution of FF-FUTURE indirectly through three interest companies (Finnfoam, Ekotuhka and Brightplus) is exceptionally significant.
More information on the progress of these projects will be posted on these pages.
