Carbon4PUR and CO2Exide invite you to discuss a potential circular value chain concept for polyurethanes +++ Focusing on CO2 as a raw material for sustainable chemistry +++ Dialogue between civil society, science and politics with industry +++ Covestro board member announced as guest +++ During the morning session, the joint symposium "Sustainable Plastics - Joining CCU, Circular Economy and Power-to-X for better Polymers" offers the opportunity for detailed insights into the objectives and results of the H2020 research projects CO2Exide, Carbon4PUR and PUReSmart. Subsequent roundtable discussions will focus on the necessary regulations, social acceptance and green electricity as preconditions and enablers for carbon-neutral chemistry. The symposium will end with a panel discussion with Sucheta Govil, CCO Covestro Søren Bøwadt, European Comission Walter Leitner, Director MPI-CEC and Professor RWTH Aachen University Maximilian Fleischer, Chief Key Expert Siemens Energy Eric de Coninck, Low Impact Steelmaking Project Manager ArcelorMittal. Carbon4PUR and CO2Exide warmly invite you to participate in this multifaceted symposium and the wide-ranging discussions.

The world is constantly looking for pathways to sustainable future. One of the biggest issues are increasing CO2 emissions, which are causing the global warming. Scientists from around the globe developed several technologies enabling us to turn carbon dioxide into usefull products like fuels, building materials, chemicals or polymers. However CO2 utilization projects still require further research, industry collaboration, funding or policy changes in order to become feasible and well established on the market. CO2 Reuse Summit aims to explore solutions for carbon dioxide utilization, since science made us realise, we can treat CO2 as a feedstock, not waste. The 3rd CO2 Reuse Summit, taking place on 27-28 May 2020 in Brussels, will bring together major stakeholders from the industry to highlight the latest developments related to carbon utilization. Key challenges and opportunities will be discussed when it comes to technology, economics or policy. Programme includes Stefanie Kesting, CO2 Value Europe President, who will speak about developing the CCU industry in Europe: achievements and upcoming challenges. CO2 Value Europe members will benefit from a 10% reduction. Request your special 10% discount code at contact@co2value.eu More info: https://reuseco2.com/

The 2nd Carbon Dioxide Conversion Catalysis Conference will bring together academic and industrial experts from across the globe and focus on the catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide into value-added products. The topical areas of the conference will include new and improved synthesis of CO2-based polymers, heterocyclic synthesis, photocatalytic & electrocatalytic conversions, energy storage using CO2, new recycling strategies, new catalyst developments, biobased synthesis based on CO2, mechanistic analysis of CO2 processes and industrially relevant CO2 conversions. The scientific sessions are set up to maximize interactions between the participants, with ample room for discussions during and around the conference, and a poster session to highlight the latest development in the area of CO2 catalysis. Chaired by Arjan Kleij (ICIQ) and Paolo Pescarmona (University of Groningen), the meeting will take place from 23 – 26 July 2020 at the beautiful Dolce CampoReal Lisboa, Portugal.
