One Dublin company earned honors at TechColumbus' Innovation Awards last week.
The team of Davion Hill,Yumei Zhai, Arun Agarwal, Kyle Hilgafort, Noy Kelly, Vince Arnett, Francois Ayello, Steinar Lyngroth, Erik Hektor, Tore Myhrvold, and Narasi Sridhar won the "Outstanding Technology Team" award for its work at DNV Columbus in Dublin.
DNV Columbus is a multinational company and the team "has put together a unique set of tools to convert carbon dioxide into useful chemicals," with a team in Oslo, Norway, a news release from TechColumbus said.
"The team worked across geographies to build a demonstration system to convert CO2 into formic acid sustainably. Together, this team has demonstrated that you can create a useful future with CO2 rather than just bury it and let your future generations take responsibility for it," the release said.
More than 20 Dublin companies were semifinalists for Innovation Awards from TechColumbus and winners were chosen by independent judges.
