GICO PROJECT

The GICO project is funded by the European Commission under the framework of the Horizon 2020 programme. GICO aims to develop renewable energy technologies that will form the backbone of the EU energy system by 2030 and 2050. GICO seeks to develop an advanced (in terms of applicability, reliability, efficiency, cost and impacts), smart and flexible (encompassing almost all biomass residues and highly discontinuous electricity) approach to convert bioenergy and RES electricity excess into biofuel and on-demand power production, so producing fuel for the transport sector meanwhile balancing the grid stability. To achieve such goals, a solution based on the integration of advanced SEG, CCSU and P2G technologies is proposed.
