Funded by the European Union’s #Horizon Europe program, COUPLED brings together 15 partners from 7 countries to demonstrate an integrated CO₂-to-fuel process that combines chemical looping, advanced membrane separation, and Fischer–Tropsch synthesis.    The project aims to transform #CO₂ into sustainable fuels and contribute to the #decarbonization of heavy industry, paving the way for a more circular and climate-neutral economy in Europe.    The kick-off meeting was held on 19 November 2025 in Manchester and hosted by the project coordinator, The University of Manchester.    🔹 Partners will collaborate over the next four years to:  - Demonstrate an integrated CO₂-to-fuel process at pilot scale  - Advance innovative CO₂ separation and conversion technologies  - Assess environmental and socio-economic impacts  - Foster knowledge transfer and market uptake Techfem was proud to attend and present its main activities, focusing on process modeling, #digitaltwin development for real-time monitoring, and assessments to support scale-up and certification. Techfem's role leverages its experience in smart process systems to drive #optimization and sustainability in the demonstration #plant.   Together, the COUPLED consortium will showcase a viable pathway to produce low-carbon #fuels, accelerate industrial decarbonization, and demonstrate Europe’s leadership in sustainable CO₂ utilization technologies.    ➡️ Stay tuned! The COUPLED website and LinkedIn page are coming soon - follow us to discover how we’re turning CO₂ into a resource for a sustainable future.
