To tackle the sustainability crisis, there is a worldwide need for concrete industrial solutions. Many of these require research and development work. Industrial size solutions are in the core of transition towards sustainability.

The purpose of this thesis project is to find out what role industrial CO2 capture plays in the transition to sustainability.

What are the effects and impacts, especially from the point of view of carbon accounting, society, economy, climate and nature? In addition, what is the role of EU regulation in the development of CO2 capturing and utilization technologies and business?

In the project, there is a common context which includes three specific perspectives. Each of the perspectives (Case Metsä, Case St1 and Case AFRY) will be one master thesis.

The students will work together in close collaboration for the common context and at the same time with their own thesis.

The work will be started in a joint workshop organized by the supervisors and invited experts.

The diploma workers will hold regular meetings with each other, and joint sparring meetings will be organized on a regular basis.
