Don’t miss out! Join us next week on 18 February at 14:00 CET for our free RCI webinar with Michael Carus, a leading expert on renewable carbon and sustainable chemistry. This insightful session will summarise the key findings of three recent reports and explore the potential of biomass to change the chemical industry and shape a sustainable future.
What you’ll discover:
Our webinar will provide a closer look at RCI’s recent publications:
- The future of a net-zero chemical industry in 2050: Gain insights into how the chemical industry can achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, with a focus on the role of biomass, carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) and recycling. Learn about projected feedstock needs and the importance of renewable carbon sources.
- Biomass demand for transport fuels, aviation and shipping to 2050 (global & EU): Understand the trajectory of biomass demand in the transport sector, particularly in aviation and shipping, driven by increasing mandates for sustainable fuels. Explore the potential impacts on other sectors and the need for strategic policy interventions.
- Biomass supply and demand for the chemical and materials industries: Explore the potential of agricultural and forestry biomass to meet 20% of the carbon demand of the chemical and feedstock industries by 2050.
Featured Insights:
- Net-Zero Feedstocks: Discover that several publications agree on the significance of renewable carbon from biomass (with an average share of 22%), carbon capture and utilisation (average share of 33%) and recycling (average share of 20%) for a net-zero chemical industry, with the remaining 24% coming from fossil sources with carbon capture and storage.
- Agricultural production: Discover projections showing a significant increase in agricultural production by 2050, with notable growth in cereals, sugar and vegetable oils.
- Forestry Supply: Learn about the expected increase in global supply and demand for industrial roundwood by 2050, with the largest growth expected in Asia and Europe.
- Sustainable biomass potential: Understand how meeting 20% of the total carbon demand of the chemicals and derivatives sector in 2050 sustainably from biomass appears to be a realistic and achievable estimate.
Who should attend:
- Chemical and materials industry professionals
- Policy makers
- Bioeconomy and sustainable chemistry researchers
- Investors interested in renewable carbon strategies
