CO2 Utilisation – Innovation and Strategy, Sustainability and Policy


Although the topic CCU is not a topic for the distant future – the first commercial implementations have already been realised – CCU remains an innovation and strategy topic. For the climate policy, the circular economy and also the enterprises. What are the strategic options? What are the political framework conditions with RED II and ETS today and tomorrow? To what extent are comprehensive sustainability analyses carried out? Leading minds will present the entire breadth of the topic to you at the highest level and put it up for discussion.
