Grants from Gasum Gas Fund for 2022 are open for applications
The energy company Gasum provides grants to researchers every year. Research, technology and innovations play key roles in the journey towards a clean and sustainable Nordic gas ecosystem. The application period for the 2022 year’s grants are open in January 11, 2022 and will end in February 10, 2022.The Gasum Gas Fund aims to respond to society’s transformational challenges by developing energy solutions based on gas and producing information supporting the development of the gas sector towards sustainable energy production.Thematic areas supported may be related to, for example:

Energy company Gasum and Finnish company Hycamite TCD Technologies are to study the decarbonization of natural gas and biogas. Natural gas and biogas mostly consist of methane and Hycamite’s technology decomposes the methane molecules in gas into its elemental components, clean hydrogen and pure carbon with no emissions. Pure carbon can be used as a raw material in e-vehicle batteries, for example, and hydrogen can be used in clean energy production and as an industrial raw material.Cooperation between Gasum and Hycamite aims to study the markets and applications for decarbonized natural
Gasum is involved in the public research part of the Hydrogen and Carbon Value Chains in Green Electrification (HYGCEL) research and consortium project. Preparation of the project was coordinated by CLIC Innovation, the research part is headed by LUT University and other universities involved in the project are Tampere University and the University of Eastern Finland. There are 19 parties in the consortium and some of the companies participating have their own parallel project. In October, the consortium received a positive funding decision of €10 million from Business Finland.The HYGCEL
Gasum is developing new concepts to recover and recycle the nutrients in wastewater sludges.Biogas technology has a key role in recycling the nutrients in sludges and in the production of renewable traffic fuel as part of energy-efficient sludge processing. The processing of wastewater sludge and recovery of nutrients in concentrated, high quality forms has been an active subject of research in Finland and globally in recent years. Advanced processing methods often call for major investments, which justifies centralized processing.
