We are proud to announce that LIFE CIRCforBIO has been selected as one of the five finalists of the Inspiration Challenge 2025.

On October 15th, 2025 our project will be presented at the European Biogas Association (EBA) Conference in Brussels by Konstantinos Passadis.

About the presenter

Konstantinos Passadis is a Chemical Engineer and Researcher at the National Technical University of Athens, specializing in biorefineries and the valorisation of biowaste into advanced biofuels. His research focuses on the circular economy, the bioeconomy, biofuels, and bioenergy. He also collaborates in European projects on bio-based and circular solutions.

About the Inspiration Challenge

The EBA Inspiration Challenge takes place during the European Biomethane Week (13–17 October). The competition highlights companies and projects at an early commercialization stage (TRL 6) that are driving sustainability across the biogas value chain.

In a dynamic pitch format, finalists will showcase their innovative ideas in front of a live audience, who will then vote to select the winner.
