The Faraday Discussion format has been in existence for over 100 years and is aimed primarily at scientists and doctoral students. Further information about the event as well as an explanatory video on the history of the traditional Faraday Discussion can be found on the event's website.
The conference is one of the oldest and most established worldwide and has developed into a unique meeting place for the entire Carbon Capture & Utilisation (CCU) and Power-to-X industry and its customers. The first day will focus on CO2-based transport and aviation fuels, the second on CO2-based bulk and fine chemicals. CCU technologies are essential to meet the future demand for carbon from renewable sources. Take a look into the near future and exchange ideas with the leading pioneers.
The two European Horizon2020 research and innovation projects Carbon4PUR and CO2EXIDE invite you to their final joint presentation of R&D results on renewable production routes towards polyurethanes and ethylene oxide derivatives. The event will focus on CO/CO2 as raw materials for sustainable chemistry, suggests a pan-European approach to a global challenge and will be framed by contributions and statements of the European Commission, experts from science and industry, and board members of the industrial partners.
The event will take place online and is free of charge. View the programme and register at the link below.
Mineralisation of CO2, also known as carbonation, is a Carbon Capture & Utilisation (CCU) technology. In this process, CO2 captured from industrial emissions or directly from the air reacts with calcium- and magnesium-rich materials (e.g. originating from construction and demolition waste, steel slags, incineration by-products) to produce valuable products, like construction materials, where CO2 is stably sequestered. It is therefore a process with a major climate change mitigation potential, all the while promoting waste management approaches based on the circular economy principle.
CO2 Value Europe organises a workshop where its pioneer members Carbon8 Systems, VITO, Orbix and Mitsubishi Corporation will present current developments in CO2 mineralisation based on real-life applications (e.g. CO2-based construction aggregates, pavements, concrete). Prof. Andre Bardow (ETH Zürich) will explain how mineralisation can contribute to climate change mitigation from a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) perspective. Current priorities towards a regulatory framework that will acknowledge and support the role of CO2 mineralisation will be adressed.
The event is virtual.
The conference Hydrogen Technology and Carbon Capture Technology will deal with two topics that are of great relevance for a future "low-carbon economy". One of the topics will be the hurdles in water and fuel cell technologies in the realisation of a sustainable energy transition. Representatives of different industrial sectors are invited to discuss the problems of production, storage and infrastructure of hydrogen technologies. At the same time, the Carbon Capture Technology Conference will provide information on the use and storage of emissions. The topics of a more sustainable use of raw materials and the possible integration of CO2 into the intended recycling economy will also be discussed.
The annual AIChE meeting in San Francisco invites chemical engineers to exchange information on innovations and developments in chemical engineering. Among other things, the meeting is intended to provide information and discussion about plastics production and measures for the management of plastic waste.
The webinar of the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies in Potsdam introduces the topic of CO2 mineralization, discusses with the participants the political context of such technologies and presents research results from the BMBF project CO2MIN.
Science and technology are already getting climate protection moving with "green molecules" in many projects and pilot plants - from road traffic to shipping and in the heating market. And more than ever before, companies are planning to break completely new ground. How do we get from strategy to practice? The "Technology Forum - New Liquid Energy Sources" aims to provide impulses and intensify the dialogue with decision-makers and experts in the energy sector across industries and sectors.
The conference is dedicated to the circular economy and deals with the question what is necessary to establish solutions in the market.
Industrial technologies play a key role in the European industry. They provide essential foundations for the competitiveness of the European Union, shape all sectors of the economy and contribute to the solution of societal challenges and a sustainable future. The digital conference “Industrial Technologies 2020 – Transition to Sustainable Prosperity” will take place under the auspices of the German Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
At the conference in Berlin the achieved goals and upcoming challenges of the Carbon2Chem project will be presented.
In view of the ongoing Corona pandemic, Europe is facing major challenges, which also affect European emissions trading. With the Green Deal, the EU Commission is promoting the reconciliation of the reduction of climate-relevant gases with the economic challenges. What options are there for resolving this conflict of objectives? This year's VDI Expert Forum will discuss this issue with the experts concerned.
In this webinar, the Renewable Carbon Initiative will introduce herself and answer questions about strategy and planned activities.

AAAS Meeting 2019 - Carbon Dioxide Utilization (CCU): An Opportunity to Tackle Climate Change
CCU, 17th February, Washington, USA
Tackling the root cause of climate change requires a significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, of which Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is the most prominent.
CCU converts waste CO2 into sustainable everyday products such as fuels, chemicals and materials. This is a prime example of a circular economy.
This session will provide a forum for exploring the opportunities and challenges of CCU.
