INFO: Preliminary programme: 7th Conference on Carbon Dioxide as Feedstock for Fuels, Chemistry and Polymers

Topics: Carbon Capture, Hydrogen, Fuels for cars and aviation, Chemicals and Polymers as well as Mineralisation and Proteins

2018-10-30, Cologne – More than 200 leading international experts in CO2 utilization and 20 exhibitors are expected to attend the "7th Conference on Carbon Dioxide as Feedstock for Fuels, Chemistry and Polymers", 20-21 March 2019, in Cologne, Germany. Main topics of the conference are the new political framework, renewable energy and hydrogen production, artificial photosynthesis, carbon capture technologies, CO2-based fuels, chemicals and polymers as well as mineralisation and proteins.

At the 7th Conference on Carbon Dioxide as Feedstock for Fuels, Chemistry and Polymers, leading players will showcase enhanced and new applications using CO2 as feedstock. The main topics of the conference are the new political framework, renewable energy and hydrogen production, artificial photosynthesis, carbon capture technologies, CO2-based fuels for transport and aviation, chemicals and polymers as well as mineralisation and proteins. As in previous years, experts from the nova-Institute will invite the most outstanding companies and institutes to bring the participants up-to-date on the latest CCU technologies and their implementation. The conference will also highlight the leading trends for the next ten years - particularly in view of the improved political conditions.
