For the 4th year in a row, the nova-Institute will organize the conference “CO2 as Feedstock for Fuels, Chemistry and Polymers” on 29 – 30 September 2015 in the “Haus der Technik” in Essen, Germany. The conference will be the largest event on Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) in 2015.
In the last years the explosion of interest in CO2 has led to a new awareness at industrial, societal and scientific levels with the result that CO2 is no longer a mere waste product, but rather an abundant, low cost raw material. Using carbon dioxide as feedstock for fuels, chemistry and polymers is a big challenge and chance for our sustainable future and has immense potential for the coming decade – much faster than expected!
The main focus of the conference is on technological breakthroughs for an efficient and low-cost utilization of CO2 as fuel – never before the conference on Carbon Capture and Utilization was more diversified and has presented such a varied and comprehensive program on CO2-based fuels. But also the advanced technologies and applications in the fields of CO2 -based chemicals and polymers will be presented. http://co2-chemistry.eu/programme
