Materials for CO₂-neutral processes in resource-intensive industries

MASCOT is a Business Finland funded ecosystem project, active in 2022-2025, of six companies and two research institutes to tackle the material challenges in emerging fossil-free processes of circular economy and hydrogen technology, and take the forerunner position in the international growth markets.

Finnish companies are pioneers in the development of carbon-neutral technologies and processes, and the results obtained in MASCOT will significantly improve their reliability, safety and competitiveness. Industrial operation conditions in the cutting-edge processes of circular economy and hydrogen technology are clearly different from those in conventional ones and, therefore, materials used in the equipment and assets need to respond to completely new requirements. Tackling this challenge this calls for research and research-based innovations in many areas related to materials technology: material, design, manufacturing and process innovations.
