nova Session: “Renewable Polymers: Production and Trends 2020-2025” – Final Programme available!

17 February 2021, 10:00 – 16:00 h (webinar via zoom)
Bio-based and CO₂-based Solutions

The only way for chemicals and plastics to become sustainable, climate-friendly and part of the circular economy is the complete substitution of fossil carbon with renewable carbon from alternative sources: biomass, CO₂ and recycling. Sold out PLA in 2019 has led to the installation of increased capacities in 2020, PE and PP made from bio-based naphtha are breaking ground and future expansion for bio-based polyamides will come into place, growth for bio-based polymers is expected to be at 8 % until 2025. Additionally, the use of CO₂ as chemical feedstock for polymers has been intensively diversified. Besides the long-established use of CO₂ for the synthesis of polycarbonates, also polyurethanes can already be based on it. Optimised technology approaches in fermentation, electrochemistry and catalysts for conversion are emerging and broaden the CO₂-based polymer portfolio.

Get the newest market developments for bio-based building blocks and polymers as well as the latest technology developments for CO₂-based polymers.

The nova-Institute invites to the nova Session “Renewable Polymers: Production and Trends 2020-2025” on 17 February, 2021 and will take place as online event via zoom.
The workshop will focus on the market report “Bio-based Building Blocks and Polymers – Global Capacities, Production and Trends 2020-2025” and the trend report “Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) as Chemical Feedstock for Polymers – Technologies, Polymers, Developers and Producers”, published in January 2021 (please find the short version and preview under www.renewable-carbon.eu/publications).

The final agenda – overview:

• Michael Carus, nova-Institut (DE): Market Overview on Renewable Building Blocks and Polymers, EU Plastic Strategy and the Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI) and Renewable Naphtha and Renewable Polymers based on it
• Pia Skoczinski and Raj Chinthapalli, nova-Institut (DE): Bio-based Building Blocks and Polymers – Deep dive
• Jan Ravenstijn, Jan Ravenstijn Consulting (NL): Polyhydroxyalkanoates – From Embryonic to Early Growth
• Pauline Ruiz and Achim Raschka, nova-Institut (DE): CO₂-based Building Blocks and Polymers – Technology Overview
