Under this agreement, European Energy will produce methanol from renewable energy and biogenic CO2, commonly referred to as e-methanol, which will in turn be used for plastic production.
With this move, Novo Nordisk has taken a step into the area of substituting fossil-based plastic with lower-carbon sources to be used in medical devices such as insulin pens. The LEGO Group will explore the potential of using the e-methanol to make selected elements in its portfolio and expects to develop prototypes in the coming years with a view to commercialisation in the longer term.
Both companies are looking to invest in technologies that support knowledge sharing and help accelerate progress across the industry.
