So simple but so true: By using sun or wind power, combining it with CO2<\/sub> and water, you can produce almost anything you want or need: fuels, chemicals and plastics, or even food and feed. The new technology platform making this possible is Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU).<\/strong><\/p>\n

What sounds like a fairy tale from the far future, is already reality: Dozens of so-called power-to-gas plants in Germany use solar and wind power to produce artificial natural gas from CO2<\/sub>, Iceland uses CO2<\/sub> for the production of fuel methanol, and companies from Germany, the USA and South Korea make plastics such as PPC, PEC and polyurethane based on CO2<\/sub>. In addition to these catalytic processes, the biotechnological conversion of CO2<\/sub> and CO into chemical building blocks is being intensely investigated.<\/p>\n

Do not miss the largest European conference on Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) in 2014: 3rd Conference on Carbon Dioxide as Feedstock for Chemistry and Polymers<\/p>\n

Showcasing impressive, dynamic developments in power-to-gas and CO2<\/sub> to chemicals and polymers.<\/p>\n

Haus der Technik (HDT), Essen (Germany), 2 – 3 December 2014<\/p>\n

www.co2-chemistry.eu<\/a><\/p>\n

The leading key players and stakeholders in the field will present and share their knowledge and visions. The topics will cover the full range of the CO2<\/sub> economy: Policy & visions, CO2<\/sub> capture & purification, H2<\/sub> generation: a prerequisite for the CO2<\/sub> economy, CO2<\/sub>-based fuels, chemicals, building blocks and polymers.<\/p>\n

++ Already more than 110 participants from 25 countries are registered ++<\/p>\n

Current information on the conference programme can be found at<\/p>\n

The conference is under the patronage of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.<\/p>\n

The nova-Institute would like to thank its Gold Sponsor EnergiRegion.NRW and all partners for their support.<\/p>\n
