Project title: HERCCULES: HEROES IN SOUTHERN EUROPE TO DECARBONIZE INDUSTRY WITH CCUS
Acronym: HERCCULES
Grant Agreement number:101096691
Start-date: January 1st 2023
End-date: December 31st 2027
Abstract: HERCCULES aims to accelerate the application of the CCUS in Southern Europe, demonstrating the techno-economic feasibility of two full-scale CCUS chains, each serving an industrial cluster with a capture potential of 10 MtCO2/y by 2030: (i) in Greece, driven by the cement sector; (ii) in Northern Italy, driven by the synergic integration of cement and Energy from Waste (EfW) industries. The project will leverage on the two most advanced geological CO2 storage sites in southern Europe (Prinos in Greece and Ravenna in Italy) involving the main industrial actors of the CCUS field, will realize three TRL7-8 capture pilots and three CO2 mineralization pilots
