SUMMARY:WaterProof Webinar: From Emissions to Innovation: CO₂-Derived Chemicals
DESCRIPTION:20 May 2025\, 13:00-14:30 CET\, online \nCarbon dioxide (CO₂) is known as the main driver of climate change. Yet\, CO₂ is increasingly recognised as a promising renewable feedstock for the production of valuable chemicals and fuels. By capturing CO₂ emissions from industrial point sources or directly from the air (direct air capture\, DAC) and converting them into essential building blocks\, it is possible to reduce reliance on fossil resources from below ground\, lower greenhouse gas emissions\, and help drive the transition to a circular\, climate-neutral economy.\nRecent advances and innovations in Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) technologies are making it feasible to transform CO₂ into a wide range of products\, ranging from base chemicals to advanced fuels. These innovations are not only closing the carbon loop of the chemical industry (defossilisation) but also enabling the integration of renewable energy and transport fuels (decarbonisation) into chemical processes\, further reducing the environmental footprint of these vital industries.\n\n\nExpanding the portfolio: What can be Made from CO₂?\nThe spectrum of CO₂-derived chemicals and fuels is rapidly expanding thanks to breakthroughs in electrochemical\, catalytic\, and biotechnological processes. Some of the most promising examples include: \nChemicals such as Methanol\, Formic acid\, Ethanol\, Acetic acid\, Urea\, Polycarbonates and cyclic carbonates\, Organic acids (e.g.\, carboxylic acids\, salicylic acid\, malonic acid)\, Esters and lactones\, Aromatics and olefins\, Glycerol carbonate. \nFuels such as Synthetic gasoline\, diesel\, and kerosene\, Methane\, and E-fuels.\nThese examples illustrate the broad potential of CO₂ as a renewable carbon source for the chemical and materials industry and the energy sector\, supporting the shift towards sustainability and circularity. \nThese examples illustrate the broad potential of CO₂ as a renewable carbon source for the chemical and materials industry and the energy sector\, supporting the shift towards sustainability and circularity. \n\nJoin the Conversation: “From Emissions to Innovation” Webinar \nTo explore these exciting developments\, the EU-funded research project WaterProof is hosting a webinar titled “From Emissions to Innovation: CO₂-Derived Chemicals” on May 20th\, 2025\, from 13:00 to 14:30 CET. \nThe event will bring together leading experts including \n\nPia Skoczinski (nova-Institute) – Renewable Chemicals from CO₂ – An Overview\nFrancesca di Bartolomeo (SINTEF\, coordinator PyroCO2 Project) – Pioneering Sustainable CO₂ Conversion to C3 Chemicals and High-Value Lipids for Feed and Food Applications\nAlbert Guisasola (Univesity Barcelona\, Vivaldi Project) – Innovative bio-based chains for CO2 valorisation as added-value organic acids\nEric Schuler (Avantium\, WaterProof Project). \n\nAttendees will gain insights into the latest CCU technologies\, market trends\, and applications that are driving the shift towards a circular carbon economy.\nDiscover how CO₂ is being utilised as a valuable resource and learn about the innovations shaping the future of sustainable chemicals. Register now to be part of this dynamic conversation and help unlock the full potential of CO₂-derived chemicals.\nRegister here!\n\n\nThe EU-funded WaterProof Project (urban WAste and water Treatment Emission Reduction by utilizing CO₂ for the PROduction Of Formate derived chemicals) aims to lead CO2 utilisation by prime example. WaterProof is developing an electrochemical process that converts CO₂ emissions from waste incineration and wastewater treatment plants into formic acid through electrochemistry. This approach not only reduces emissions but also supports the circular use of resources in urban environments. The project’s work demonstrates how CO₂ can be transformed into a valuable feedstock for a range of sustainable applications\, with pilot-scale implementation already underway.\nFor more information on the WaterProof project\, visit https://waterproof-project.eu.\nWaterProof is Funded by the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or European Health and Digital Executive Agency. Neither the European Union nor the granting authority can be held responsible for them.\n

SUMMARY:BioReCer- and 3-CO-Webinar: Certification and Innovation in Bio-Based Construction
DESCRIPTION:5 February 2025\, 13:00-14:30 CET\, online \nThe construction sector is one of the most significant contributors to global CO₂ emissions\, accounting for approximately 37 % of energy- and processing-related carbon dioxide emissions worldwide (UNEP\, 2022). It further accounts for about 50% of all extracted materials (EC\, 2025). As the building industry seeks to reduce its environmental impact\, bio-based materials are emerging as a promising solution for more sustainable construction.\nCertification plays a critical role in this transformation\, providing a robust framework for validating the sustainability performance and attesting to the environmental credentials of these innovative bio-based materials. To address this critical issue and explore innovative approaches\, the EU-funded research projects 3-CO and BioReCer are organising a comprehensive webinar on certification and innovation in bio-based construction materials. \nA Holistic Approach to Sustainable Construction\nThis informative event\, scheduled for 25 February 2025\, at 13:00 CEST\, will explore the entire range of bio-based construction materials and their diverse applications. The webinar will cover crucial aspects of sustainable building\, including:\n\nThe importance of certification for bio-based products\,\nSustainable building design\, conception\, and planning\,\nMaterial recommendations\,\nBuilding passports as tools for capturing and communicating building data\, material composition\, and environmental performance\,\nCircularity indicators and their role in assessing a building’s sustainability\, including the new ISO 59040 standard for Product Circularity Data Sheets\, which emphasises circular concepts such as design for disassembly.\nDifferent assessment methods for sustainability of buildings and for constructions\, including the Quality Seal for Sustainable Buildings (QNG)\, e.g.\, CO2-footprint for buildings.\n\nExpert perspective on innovation\nThe webinar brings together a distinguished panel of experts from certification bodies\, public institutions\, and innovative producers:\n\nMartin Behrens (Agency for Renewable Resources (FNR))\nSergiy Kovalenco (CEO and Founder of Hempire)\nHein van Tuijl (EPEA Benelux)\n\nThese will share their extensive knowledge on material innovation\, certification processes\, and the political environment that shapes sustainable construction.\n\nEnvironmental benefits of bio-based materials\nBio-based materials significantly contribute to reducing carbon emissions in construction and its defossiliation. For example\, wood-based structures act as carbon sinks by storing CO₂ throughout their lifecycle. Similarly\, hemp insulation provides excellent thermal performance with a lower environmental footprint compared to conventional materials.\nThis webinar serves as a platform for fostering collaborative change within the construction sector. By connecting diverse stakeholders from innovative material producers to forward-thinking municipalities\, from certification experts to architectural visionaries\, the research projects 3-CO and BioReCer aim to facilitate meaningful discussions that can lead to actionable solutions for sustainable building practices.\nJoin the conversion on 25 February 2025\, at 13:00 CEST.\nRegister here! \n

SUMMARY:Six pathways to smart certification of bio-based systems
DESCRIPTION:Are you a policy maker\, a member of the bio-based industry or a concerned consumer? Participate in the first webinar by the Horizon Europe project 3-CO on June 7th\, 2024\, 11 am to 12:30 pm (CET)! The webinar will address the vital topic of certification and labelling of biological feedstock\, bio-based value chains and products. \nCertification and labelling play a crucial role in empowering consumers to make informed and sustainable purchasing decisions by impeding greenwashing and instead providing credible and reliable sustainability information. Furthermore\, they facilitate the tracking and traceability of biological feedstock throughout value chains\, fostering transparency and accountability among stakeholders of the bio-based industry. However\, there are a lot of challenges for current certification and labelling schemes\, since they are often not sufficiently laid-out for bio-based products and their value-chains\, and that they do not reflect the environmental and sustainability benefits. \nFollowing different calls of the European Commission several Horizon Europe projects are currently tackling the issue of certification and labelling by taking into account current political and societal developments. The projects’ diverse approaches encompass assessment\, monitoring\, and validation of bio-based case studies\, defining sustainability indicators\, formulating guidelines for certification and labelling schemes\, offering policy recommendations\, and developing innovative digital tools to provide information on bio-based value chains to consumers or industry stakeholders. \nJoin us on June 7th and listen to pitches from six HORIZON Europe projects: 3-CO\, BioReCer\, HARMONITOR\, Star4bbs\, SUSTRACK\, and Sustcert4Biobased. Together\, we’ll explore their innovative approaches\, recent advancements and latest results that pave the way for shaping a strong circular EU bioeconomy. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Gu4n5RlgTV2E086kpopmYA#/registration \nThe organiser of the free webinar is 3-CO\, which will support consumers’ purchasing decisions towards more sustainable solutions by improving the communication of label and certification schemes (LCS) on a Business-to-Consumers (B2C) level. To unlock the full potential of the bioeconomy and industrial bio-based products\, 3-CO will establish a supportive framework and develop actionable guidelines for LCS owners that reflect consumers’ and other stakeholders’ needs. Meanwhile intense consumer involvement and digital tools will demonstrate their viability.\nFind more information here: https://3co-project.eu \nFunded by the European Union.

SUMMARY:Towards bio-based paints and coatings – Fundamentals and an introduction to the PERFECOAT project
DESCRIPTION:Everything you ever wanted to know about sustainable paint and coatings: The PERFECOAT Webinar Series\nFirst webinar “Towards bio-based paints and coatings – Fundamentals and an introduction to the PERFECOAT project” on 5 March 2024\, 13.00-14.00 (CET)\, online \nStarting on 5 March 2024 the CBE JU funded research project PERFECOAT launches its upcoming webinar series to present bio-based compounds for sustainable paints and coatings as well as end applications to young researchers. \nThe European paints and coatings market is projected to grow from USD 37.2 billion in 2023 to USD 41.6 billion by 2028 (Markets and Markets\, 2023). While a majority of currently used ingredients are fossil-based\, prospects show an increasing demand for sustainable paints and coatings\, especially in the professional and DIY (Do it yourself) industries. To enable a smooth transition from fossil to sustainable products\, the industry is in desperate need for high performance bio-based solutions especially for bio-polymers and lipids\, binders\, fillers\, pigments and additives like functional nanomaterials. These major component groups combined account for nearly 70 % of the ingredients (American Coatings Association\, 2023). In the first two years of examination\, the EU funded research project PERFECOAT (https://perfecoat-project.eu) successfully developed innovative bio-based solutions\, from bio-waste and agricultural residues. These will be tested in the formulation of three use-cases: UV-curable clear coatings for wood\, waterborne trim paints for DIY\, and waterborne wall paints. \nAt this project stage\, the partners successfully developed bio-based polymers and lipids\, binders\, fillers\, fungal pigments and dyes\, as well as different additives like functional nanomaterials. These cover a variety of performance requirements like paint texture and grip\, clarity\, flexibility\, UV resistance (no yellowing) as well as drying and curing time. \nIn the first webinar “Towards bio-based paints and coatings – Fundamentals and an introduction to the PERFECOAT project” international experts will introduce the basics of paint and coatings formulation and address the potential of bio-based solutions in this field. A historic overview will address paint and coating applications and discuss the performance requirements for newly developed solutions and challenges in novel applications.\nCurious?
