The CooCE project has reached its halfway point in March 2023. It is a crucial moment for the life of the project, with members and committees summing up the work done until this point and making decisions on the next advancements. On 06th June 2023, a meeting was held with censors from the ACT consortium in order to assess the project status. Fortunately, the feedback was generally positive and the outlook on the project is encouraging. The meeting provided a valuable input for discussion on the following steps to take, with the final goal to demonstrate diverse CO₂ valorisation platforms at high technological readiness levels.
