Sustainable Plastics - Joining CCU, Circular Economy and Power-to-X for better Polymers
25 March 2021 - 25 March 2021
online, Germany
State-of-the-art CCU technologies are paving the way to a future industry that is independent of fossil feedstock. New approaches are addressing the challenges and opportunities of turning our linear “throw-away” society into a Circular Economy, in which recycling processes form the basis of a sustainable production.
These are the core elements of the Horizon 2020 projects Carbon4PUR and CO2EXIDE. Our aim is to reuse carbon from CO and CO2 as a raw material for the synthesis of epoxides and polyurethanes.
Utilising off-gas from a steel plant or a biogas plant as feedstock, we follow two different conversion paths and target complementary end products on the pathway to alternative plastics production based on carbon recycling. In our joint symposium “Sustainable Plastics – Joining CCU, Circular Economy and Power-to-X for better Polymers” we will present the projects’ main results, thus showcasing the potential of a comprehensive linkage between EU-funded research.
The symposium will start with a keynote of Søren Bøwadt (European Commission) who will outline the current funding policy in the Green Deal and Horizon Europe programmes, thus relating the research topic of the two Horizon 2020 projects to the European future goals. Michael Carus (nova institute) will elucidate the Renewable Carbon Strategy that proposes the combined use of biomass, CO2-utilisation and recycling for sustainable production chains. Nives Gonzalez Ramon (Cefic / SusChem) will present the recently-published Sustainable Plastics strategy.
Framed by statements of their board members, the consortium partners of Carbon4PUR and CO2EXIDE will then give a detailed overview on the central outcomes of their research efforts, also including regulative measures, social acceptance as well as sustainable electricity and feedstock supply as enablers for a future carbon-neutral chemical industry.
The symposium will end with a panel discussion with Walter Leitner (RWTH Aachen University / MPI-CEC), Maximilian Fleischer (Siemens Energy), Sophie Wilmet (CEFIC), Carmine Marzano (European Commission) and Florian Ausfelder (DECHEMA) about the demands and next steps towards a circular European industry.
Join our final event – Sustainable Plastics Symposium. We look forward to welcoming you!
