Webinar: The future of carbon valorization

In combatting rising carbon levels in the atmosphere, carbon capture is gaining an increase in attention worldwide. Even more clever are ideas of consequent conversion into useful products. Both research and industry are exploring routes to have an effective conversion of captured carbon into chemicals, food, and feed. In this webinar we want to show the huge potential of this approach by presenting and discussing some of the explored pathways from a research and industrial perspective. Among the discussed pathways are the conversion of carbon dioxide into chemicals that can replace fossil based chemicals directly or serve as intermediate to other chemicals and the uptake of CO2 into biomass to produce higher value compounds like food and feed ingredients.

Please join us for this interesting webinar, Thursday February 9, 15.30 -17.00. On-line registration is closed, if you want to join, please send an e-mail to receive the link, hester.henstra@wetsus.nl
