With a current capacity of over 1.3 million tonnes for CO\u2082-based products and steadily growing demand, smart Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) technologies are helping to establish CO\u2082\u00a0as a renewable carbon feedstock. Innovative technologies and materials are crucial to meet the increasing demand for fossil-free carbon, e.g. derived from CO\u2082\u00a0or biomass, especially in the chemical and fuel sector. Having established itself as a cornerstone in the evolution of this dynamic field, the\u00a0CO\u2082-Based Fuels and Chemicals Conference<\/a>\u00a0has become a meeting ground, fostering connections and showcasing the latest advancements in CO\u2082\u00a0capture and utilisation.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the 12th<\/sup> time the conference program presents a comprehensive overview of the status quo, delving into pivotal topics such as CCU, carbon capture technologies, biogenic CO\u2082 sources and green hydrogen production, Power-to-X for fuels, CO\u2082-based chemicals, materials, polymers, mineralisation, advanced technologies, advanced research for CCU, and the fascinating realm of artificial photosynthesis. A dedicated session on <\/a>innovation, strategy and policy will delve into the crucial discussion of framework conditions necessary to stimulate incentives and investments within this rapidly expanding sector, offering valuable insights and future perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CO\u2082-Based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2024 will take place on 17-18 April 2024<\/strong> in Cologne, Germany and online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) enables the substitution of fossil carbon in sectors where carbon is necessary. It hereby supports the full defossilisation of the chemical and derived materials industries by creating a circular economy, reducing the emission gap, promoting sustainable carbon cycles, fostering innovation, generating local value, and stimulating job growth. CCU is much more than a carbon removal technology: the technology offers multiple solutions to pressing problems of our modern world and can support several UN Sustainable Development Goals if implemented properly. Thus CCU needs more political recognition and support, as its relevance as a central pillar for the transformation of the chemical and material industry is not yet acknowledged, especially in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
