GrowChar
​
This project aims to develop a designer Biochar product suitable to fully replace existing substrates for greenhouse crop cultivation. Key aspects are a consistent, industrial quality and pH neutrality. GrowChar will not only provide carbon avoidance, but even carbon removal.

Chemcarb
​
​​The Chemcarb project explores a novel process to convert CO2 directly into solid carbon using liquid metals. This one-step conversion enables local carbon storage and has the potential to enable cost-effective and energy-efficient carbon removal.​​

Regional Carbon Logistics Solution
For many emitters, the CO2 transport chain from their inland European industrial facilities to recycling, conversion or sequestration sites is a major, not yet tackled challenge. Our project focuses on reducing this multifaceted technical, economic, environmental and regulatory conundrum in a one-stop-shop solution as a Regional Carbon Logistics Solution (RCLS) offering addressing the customers’ needs by an all-embracing support taking over the assignment for the CO2 conveyance as of their premises.
​Carbon Credit Ownership and Methodology in Construction
conspark seeks to establish a framework for carbon credit attribution within the construction industry, focusing on mineralization and biochar applications. Collaborating with important implementation partners along the supply chain, the initiative aims to clarify carbon credit ownership. This effort will enhance compliance with standards such as SIA 390/1 and EN 15804, paving the way for significant carbon reduction in construction.
Capture and Conversion of CO2
Capturing and converting CO2 through a single mechanism is a challenging task with significant potential for both economic and scalable CDR solutions. Our goal is to leverage 3D printing to create advanced capture filters made from materials specifically designed not only to effectively capture CO2 but also to catalyze its conversion, enabling more efficient and potentially sustainable transformations.​
Pricing for CO2 reduction and CO2 removal
CO2 reduction and removal are often not clearly differentiated from each other. Removal projects are often more expensive than reduction projects, i.e. the cost per ton of CO2 removed is higher than the cost per ton of CO2 reduced. It is therefore important that a clear distinction is made in pricing between both. This project aims to en-sure that this aspect of pricing is taken into account in the political framework and thus improves the conditions for the successful implementation of removal projects in Switzerland.​​​​
