The Forest CUMP research project, a collaboration between VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and LUT University, has made significant strides in transforming carbon dioxide produced by the forest industry into valuable raw materials for plastic production. By capturing and converting CO2 from forest waste incineration into polypropylene and polyethylene, the project aims to reduce the dependency on fossil feedstocks used in everyday plastic manufacturing. The research findings highlight the feasibility of adapting current petrochemical plants to utilize biogenic CO2 and green hydrogen for renewable plastic production, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional production methods. The study emphasizes the importance of aligning renewable processes with existing industrial infrastructure to facilitate a smooth transition towards sustainable plastic manufacturing. The research indicates that leveraging biogenic CO2 sources in Nordic countries, particularly Finland, holds great potential for reducing carbon emissions and promoting the adoption of renewable energy sources like green hydrogen. Moreover, the project showcases the viability of converting biogenic CO2 into renewable products on an industrial scale, demonstrating the significant impact such initiatives could have on reducing reliance on fossil fuels. With a focus on utilizing bio-based CO2 for durable polymer products instead of traditional fuels, the Forest CUMP project paves the way for a more sustainable future in plastic production. The research also outlines the substantial electricity and hydrogen requirements for large-scale conversion of biogenic CO2 into renewable products, highlighting the need for robust infrastructure to support the transition towards greener energy solutions.
