Biobased chemicals: Denmark. Cellugy’s BIOCARE4LIFE project has received significant EU funding to accelerate production scale-up towards commercialization for Cellugy’s biofabricated materials platform, EcoFLEXY. The platform’s debut product, EcoFLEXY Rheo, is the world’s first high-performance rheology modifier that is fully biobased, biodegradable, and competitively priced, offering the personal care industry an alternative to microplastics and fossil-based ingredients, without compromising texture or skin feel. Cellugy, a Danish industrial biotechnology startup developing innovative, biobased solutions to replace fossil-based materials in the personal care sector, has secured €8,1M to support scaling up the production of its biofabricated cellulose-based rheology modifier material, EcoFLEXY.

Biogas: United Kingdom. Bluemethane installed its first production-scale methane capture unit in partnership with ReGenEarth at a biogas plant. The technology aims to recover the residual methane present in the digestate the post-processing sludge of anaerobic digesters, which would normally be released into the atmosphere and wasting energy and contributing to emissions. The process simulates the shaking of a soda bottle, using turbulence and pressure changes to separate the dissolved methane. The captured gas, which contains methane and carbon dioxide, can be repurposed, increasing the energy efficiency of the plant. In addition, the system allows the recirculation of the sludge, optimizing production. Return on investment includes higher generation of biogas, raw material savings and potentially the emission of avoided carbon credits. Link 04/07/2025
E-fuels: France. Khimod raised €23m ($27m) from investors to advance the industrialisation of its low-carbon hydrogen power-to-X (PtX) technologies and projects. Khimod will enter a commercialisation phase for its core offering with the financial backing – its heat exchanger-reactors used to convert green hydrogen and captured CO2 into e-methanol, e-methane, and eSAF.
