CarbonNext evaluates the potential use of CO2/CO as carbon-feedstock for the process industry in Europe. After two years of intensive work, the project consortium wants to share the major outcomes and results with an interested audience. The CarbonNext final conference will take place in Brussels on July 17th (10.00 - 16.00) and will have speakers from industry, academia as well as policy makers from the European Commission. The main results from CarbonNext will be accompanied by presentations from industrial representatives to show the relevance and transfer of scientific results and industrial needs and to discuss ecological challenges and the economic potential behind the identified opportunities.
Learn more about the whole carbon value chain – from mapping of CO/CO2 all over Europe, identified processes and products where alternative carbon sources can be used – and get in touch with an interdisciplinary network of CCU stakeholders.
The CarbonNext consortium is looking forward to welcoming you in Brussels on July the 17th, 2018!
The venue: Covent Garden building, Brussels
