SUMMARY:CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:The CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference has successfully established itself as an international and unique meeting and networking ground for the entire Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) and Power-to-X industry and its customers. The upcoming 14th edition of the conference will take place on 28–29 April 2026\, Cologne\, Germany as a hybrid event. Organiser nova-Institute expects over 230 leading international experts in the field of CCU\, green hydrogen production and Power-to-X. Once more the event will showcase the latest innovations and most important developments in the fast-growing field of Carbon Capture and Utilisation with plenty of opportunities to network. \n\n\nA milestone for the enforcement of CCU was reached on 28 June 2024 when the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament published the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA) in their Official Journal. The act finally acknowledges CO2 utilisation as an eligible strategic net zero technology\, hereby providing an official reference and foundation to support and encourage the deployment of clean technology\, such as CCU throughout Europe. With a current capacity of over 1.5 million tonnes for CO2-based products and steadily growing demand\, CCU technologies are helping to establish CO2 as a renewable carbon feedstock\, highlighting the urgency of investment and innovation in this field. \nWe will be organising the PhD Day “Biotech for C1 utilisation” as part of the CO₂-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2026. \nThe PhD Day will be a parallel session during the conference dedicated completely to bringing PhD students using biotechnology for C1 utilisation together. The PhD students will be able to learn about the research done by other PhD students across Europe\, network\, and hopefully kick-off future collaboration and cooperation between them. Additionally\, they will be able to attend the conference program around the PhD Day to learn even more about trends and developments in C1 utilisation. \nMore information on the PhD Day can be found here: https://co2-chemistry.eu/phd-day-biotech-for-c1-utilisation/ \nThe complete program is available at: https://co2-chemistry.eu/program/ \nRegistration: https://co2-chemistry.eu/registration/ \nMore information: https://co2-chemistry.eu/

SUMMARY:CLIB-Webinar: Unlocking Lignin - Turning an Unloved Feedstock into Market Solutions
DESCRIPTION:  \nLignin is a valuable bio-based feedstock\, providing complex molecules already fabricated by nature. It is a byproduct of several biomass-based processes\, and available from a range of sources. Its valorisation has been researched for decades but remains elusive.   \nIn this webinar\, we will present the approaches taken by the two CBE JU-funded projects COUNTLESS und LIGNOFUN. You will hear about different lignin feedstocks and innovative depolymerisation solutions already at demo scale. How can lignin be turned into a valuable feedstock in a future\, sustainable circular bioeconomy? How can the complex biomolecule be made accessible for downstream applications?   \nDuring the final discussion about common lignin preconceptions and hurdles to valorisation all participants are invited join and provide their input.  \n  \nAgenda\n \nRegistration\nclosed

DESCRIPTION:(in German only) \nPlan B 2026 – Bioökonomie als neues Geschäftsfeld \nSupply chains are under pressure\, raw materials are becoming scarcer\, and markets are highly volatile: companies that continue to rely solely on Plan A out of tradition are missing opportunities to tap into new business areas and strengthen their competitiveness. \nThe bioeconomy offers genuine alternatives. It opens up new sources of raw materials\, unlocks new markets\, and helps companies become more independent of geopolitical risks. Those who build a second pillar gain resilience. \nPlan B 2026 | Die Bioökonomie-Veranstaltung für industrielle und urbane Räume showcases concrete examples of how bio-based solutions can be translated into industrial or urban value creation. \nOn 8 July 2026 at the Schwabenlandhalle in Fellbach\, we will bring together SME decision-makers\, researchers\, start-ups\, and industry representatives. The programme includes inspiring expert talks\, best-practice examples from Baden-Württemberg\, roundtable talks\, and beer garden lectures. \nOn site will be companies that are already living their Plan B and sharing their journey. Get to know these pioneers and expand your network. \n🔗 For more information on the programme\, speakers\, and registration: \n\nwww.umwelttechnik-bw.de/de/plan-b-startseite
