M.T.M. SRL

Their core work

M.T.M. SRL is an Italian private company based in Cherasco (Piedmont) that contributes industrial and engineering expertise to EU research projects focused on CO2 capture, chemical conversion, and sustainable transport. Two of their three H2020 projects center on converting captured CO2 into valuable chemicals and materials, suggesting core competence in industrial chemistry or process engineering. They also participated in a light electric vehicle project, indicating broader capabilities in manufacturing or vehicle component supply. Their role is consistently as a participant bringing applied industrial know-how to research consortia.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

M.T.M.'s H2020 participation spans 2015–2017 project starts, a relatively short window. Their earliest project (Silver Stream, 2015) focused on light electric vehicles, but they quickly pivoted toward CO2 valorization with CELBICON (2016) and RECODE (2017). This shift suggests a deliberate move from sustainable transport toward carbon capture and circular chemistry, aligning with the growing European emphasis on industrial decarbonization.

M.T.M. is moving firmly toward industrial CO2 utilization and circular carbon chemistry, making them relevant for future projects in carbon capture, green chemicals, and cement decarbonization.

How they like to work

M.T.M. consistently participates as a partner rather than leading consortia, indicating they provide specialized industrial input rather than driving project design. Across just 3 projects they have worked with 33 unique partners in 12 countries, showing openness to diverse European collaborations rather than dependence on a fixed network. Their role profile suggests a reliable contributor that integrates well into larger research teams.

M.T.M. has built a broad network of 33 partners across 12 countries through only 3 projects, indicating participation in medium-to-large consortia with wide European reach. No single geographic cluster dominates their partnerships.

What sets them apart

M.T.M. brings an unusual combination of CO2 utilization expertise applied across multiple industrial domains — from cement to bio-based chemicals. Their position as a private company (not a university or research institute) means they contribute practical, application-oriented perspectives to research consortia. For consortium builders seeking an Italian industrial partner with hands-on experience in carbon capture value chains, M.T.M. offers proven participation across complementary CO2 projects.

Highlights from their portfolio

• Silver Stream
  Largest single EC contribution (EUR 829,750), and a thematic outlier — light electric vehicles rather than CO2 chemistry.
• CELBICON
  Ambitious multi-pathway CO2 conversion project combining electrochemical reduction with fermentation to produce 6+ chemical products.
• RECODE
  Targeted the hard-to-abate cement industry specifically, converting CO2 emissions into calcium carbonate nanoparticles and other additives.
