CO2 removal: Germany. Novis GmbH from Tübingen is overcoming this bottleneck with an exciting approach: CO2 from exhaust gases is passed through a medium of a special carrier fluid. The CO2 binds completely to the fluid and is separated from the medium again in a second stage by electrodialysis. In the final step, the CO2 is then cooled and liquefied and is available as high-purity CO2 for further use. The process requires only electricity to operate. This makes the process cost-effective compared to the state of the art. It is patented worldwide. Companies that want to use their own CO2 can additionally set up photobioreactors (PBRs) on unused industrial side areas. Standard algae are cultivated in the PBRs and ‘fed’ with the CO2. The algae are utilising CO2 to build biomass. The patented PBRs work with direct light supply to the reactors and are therefore independent of ambient light. Link 26/01/2026
