SUMMARY:nova Session on Sustainability Certification – a Solid Basis for Reliable Green Claims
DESCRIPTION:Hosts: Nicolas Hark\, Senior\, Specialist Economy and Policy\, Asta Partanen\, Senior Expert (both nova-Institute) \n(13:00-16:00\, CET) \nCertification and labelling are becoming more and more important parts of the sustainability story\, since the multitude of claims is confusing to consumers and can also be considered greenwashing in many cases. Two EU surveys in 2014 and 2020 confirmed that around 53% of all environmental claims on products were based on vague or false information and even 40% of all environmental claims did not provide verifiable evidence. Independent\, third-party verification is one important tool to achieve credibility. \nAlso\, more and more producers of chemicals\, plastics\, textiles and other materials are thinking about switching to biomass as a renewable resource. However\, there is a lot of doubt about the overall sustainability of biomass use – and there is a big demand for reliable partnerships that increase knowledge and availability of feedstocks that can be used with a good conscience. \nThe three-hour webinar will introduce different options for biomass and bio-based products’ sustainability certification and what needs to be considered. A special focus will also be on the new requirements that are expected to come into play when the Green Claims Directive comes into force. Join this event to learn how to make your sustainability story even more convincing with sustainability certification. \nTopics: \n\nOverview of the biomass sustainability certification landscape\nCertification process and traceability\, chain of custody models\nRequirements for verification and certification from the proposed Green Claims Directive\nPractical examples of certifiers\n\nAgenda: \n13:00 Welcome and introduction\n13:15 nova-Institute\, Dr. Asta Partanen\, Quo Vadis Sustainability Certification?\n13:45 nova-Institute\, Nicolas Hark\, EU Green Claims Directive – What Does it Mean for the Industry?\n14:15 Q&A\n14:45 ISCC\, Jasmin Brinkmann\, Insights about the ISCC PLUS Certification Scheme and how to make Credible Claims\n15:10 SCS Global Services\, Erika Bartolomei and Gustavo Bacchi – Biomass and Bio-based Products’ Sustainability Certification.\n15:35 Q&A\n16:00 End \n  \n

SUMMARY:PERFECOAT Webinar "Greener ingredients for bio-based paints and coatings"
DESCRIPTION:The paint and coating industry is in great need for high-performance bio-based solutions especially for binders\, fillers\, pigments\, and additives like functional nanomaterials. The EU-funded research project PERFECOAT has the goal to introduce a variety of new biomass-derived solutions to replace fossil material in paint and coating ingredients. The different biomass sources\, tailormade modifying methods\, and the biotechnology used the process the biomass are topics of this webinar. \nSo far in the project\, the PERFECOAT team has successfully developed innovative bio-based solutions from bio-waste and agricultural residues. Besides microbially produced alginates and lipids\, the project also aimed to develop and produce at least two different formulations for bio-based red pigments and dyes as well as other colours and identified great potential for the production of red and orange pigments from the fungus Talaromyces atroroseus. Alternative strategies for carotenoids used the yeasts R. toruloides and Y. lipolytica\, which also allow the production of the violet pigment violacein\, resulting in a deep purple colour. Other pathways show potential for the development of additional colours such as green from prodeoxyviolacein or pink from deoxyviolacein.\nThe second webinar episode will present equally successful solutions for the ingredient group of binders. Binders represent one of the main challenges in paint-formulations. Different project partners generated a selection of bio-based binder samples\, e.g.\, modified alginates (SINTEF)\, xanthan (Technical University Munich)\, and xylan (Celignis) derived from different biomass resources like agricultural residues\, e.g.\, poplar wood\, beech wood\, wheat straw\, and late cut grass. \nCurious to learn more about the utilisation of biomass for paint and coatings ingredients? \nRegister for the second webinar “Greener ingredients for bio-based paints and coatings”. \n\nAmelie Skopp (Technical University Munich) – The beauty of “green” – rethinking an approach to bio-based ingredients\nSrdjan Gavrilović (TalTech) – Modification of bio-based feedstock for binder applications\nAnders Ødum (Chromologics) – Scale up of precision fermentation for bio-based ingredients\n\n8 April 2024\n13:00-14:00h CET\nonline \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Cellulose Fibres Conference 2024
DESCRIPTION:The unique conference focused on cellulose fibres – in textiles\, hygiene products and packaging. The Cellulose Fibres Conference 2024 will cover the entire value chain\, from lignocellulose\, chemical pulp\, cellulose fibres such as rayon\, viscose\, modal or lyocell and new developments to a wide range of applications. \nRecently the European Commission has made the thorough transition towards sustainability and circularity for different industries and especially the textile sector a main focus. This demands a new way of thinking with regard to sustainability and circularity within the textile economy. This process already starts with the material selection of the fibres used for the textiles. Generally\, textiles consist of fibres\, which can be made from renewable and non-renewable resources. A first step towards improving the sustainability of textiles is the change from non-renewable to renewable fibres. In consequence\, the textile industry shows a steadily increasing\, enormous demand on renewable and sustainable fibres. \nFurther information: https://cellulose-fibres.eu \n

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.

SUMMARY:Sustainability Claims under New EU Legislation
DESCRIPTION:Are you also wondering what the future of green claims\, labels and certifications will mean for your business? In recent months\, the EU has aimed at creating new framework conditions for the marketing of environmental claims on products and services. This is especially seen with the recently published Proposal for a Green Claims Directive. \nMarketing terms such as “climate neutral”\, “recyclable” or self-created environmental labels are increasingly common on consumer goods\, but so far only a few comes with a scientific proof. The EU wants to change this practice and wants to ensure better consumer protection and fair market transparency with its proposal for the Green Claims Directive. \nThis means that companies will have to adapt on how to substantiate their sustainability claims. To help you understand these policies and their implications\, nova-Institute will host a webinar on “Sustainability Claims and Labels under new EU Legislation”. During this nova-Session you will have the chance to hear experts discuss the recent policy initiatives\, their impacts\, advantages and disadvantages for European businesses. \nIn addition\, we will discuss what is to be expected from upcoming legislation on products environmental claims and substantiation. There will be different inputs by experts and ample time for discussion. \n  \nHosts\n\nLara Dammer (Head of the Economy and Policy Department\, nova-Institute)\nÁngel Puente (Senior Expert LCA & Sustainable Chemistry\, nova-Institute)\nLuciano Proto Cassina (Specialist in Bioeconomy and Circular Economy Policy\, nova-Institute)\n\n  \nTopics\n\nLife-cycle assessment in the context of sustainability claims\nProposal for a Green Claims Directive\nLabels and certifications\n\n  \nProgram (all CET)\n\n13:00 – 13:15 Welcome and Introduction (Lara Dammer\, nova-Institute)\n13:15 – 13:45 EU Framework on Green Claims and Consumer Empowerment (Luciano Proto Cassina\, nova-Institute)\n13:45 – 14:15 Scientific Approaches of LCA and Green Claims (Ángel Puente\, nova-Institute)\n14:15 – 14:45 EU Labels and Certifications under the new Green Claims Directive (Lara Dammer\, nova-Institute)\n14:45 – 15:00 Outlook and Wrap Up (Lara Dammer\, nova-Institute) \n  \nDo not miss this great opportunity to engage directly with experts from the industry\, policy and academia.

SUMMARY:LCA\, Business\, Policy – The Sustainability Nexus
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Dr. Matthias Stratmann\, Lara Dammer (nova-Institute) \nSustainability is turning into a major factor for businesses\, driven by at least three different aspects: Customers demand relevant information from the market\, responsible entrepreneurs strive to reduce the negative impact of their actions\, and various political directives oblige companies to report on several non-financial aspects of their business and products. \nThe good news is that many requirements have a common denominator. A good data base\, knowledge of scientific methods\, the use of synergies with other areas of the company and\, finally\, knowledge of the relevant regulations enable companies to approach the sustainability topic in a positive and value-creating way. \nThis nova Session will give you the opportunity to learn about the basics of standardized Life Cycle Assessment methods and recent developments in sustainability initiatives. nova experts and guest speakers from the Commission and the JRC will explain the increasing requirements for sustainability reporting placed on your company by policy and how you can prepare for it. There will be ample space to discuss and answer your questions. \n\nTopics\n\nLCA basics – methods and standards\nISO 14067\, ISO 14044\nNew developments in sustainability assessment – examples PEF and “Together for Sustainability”\nProduct vs. Corporate Carbon Footprint – what do you need?\nEvolution of LCA in policy\nEU Taxonomy\nGreen Claims Directive\nEcodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation\nCorporate Sustainability Reporting Directive\nCorporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive\n\n\nPreliminary Program\n13 December 2023\, 10:00 – 16:00 h (CET: Central European Time)\, online \n\n\n\n10:00\nWelcome and Introduction\nL.

SUMMARY:News from CCU – From Carbon Capture and Green Hydrogen production to CO2 Utilisation for Chemicals\, Advanced Fuels\, Polymers\, Proteins and Minerals and its related Political Framework
DESCRIPTION:Hosts: Michael Carus\, Achim Raschka\, Pauline Ruiz\, Nicolas Hark and Pia Skoczinski (nova-Institute)\nGuests: Laura Martí Montaner (AIMPLAS)\, Célia Sapart (CO2 Value Europe)\, Volker Sick (Global CO2 Initiative) \nCarbon Capture & Utilisation is one essential pillar for the supply of renewable carbon besides biomass and recycling and therefore one of the key technologies for the transition to sustainable chemical and fuel production and to substitute fossil feedstock sources\, to fight climate change and to shift towards climate-friendly production and consumption. For providing the full benefits of CCU technologies the use of renewable energy and hydrogen is indispensable and a crucial for the production of CO2-based transportation and aviation fuels\, bulk and fine chemicals. \nThe session will focus on developments in carbon capture\, green hydrogen production\, technologies and trends for CO2-based chemicals\, building blocks and polymers\, fuels\, proteins and minerals as well as the latest policy developments for CCU. \nThe use of CO2 as chemical feedstock for chemicals and polymers has been intensively diversified. Several successfully implemented technologies used at commercial level are in place and many more at the laboratory and pilot phase. Besides the long-established use of CO2 for the synthesis of polycarbonates\, also polyurethanes are based on it. The most notable biotechnological conversion pathway of a syngas produces ethanol at commercial scale. Additionally\, high interest is also observed in CO2-based methanol and in CO2-based hydrocarbons\, which can be used for fuel\, chemical and polymers applications. A current total production capacity of these CO2-based products of ca. 1.3 Mt/a in 2022 is observed and a strong increase in capacity is expected by 2027. \nThe utilisation of CO2 as a feedstock for materials and chemicals has not gained significant traction in policy yet. However\, there are some recent developments that look promising for CCU technologies\, especially in energetic applications. What specific support is already there and what can be expected in future EU policy for CCU applications will be explored in this session. \n  \nTopics\n\nCarbon Capture – Methods and Technologies\nGreen Hydrogen Production\nTechnology and Trends Overview of CO2-based Chemicals and Polymers\, Fuels\, Proteins and Minerals\nPolicy Landscape of Carbon Capture & Utilisation\n\n  \nProgram \n(all CET: Central European Time)\n \n\n\n\n10:00\nMichael Carus (nova-Institute): Session Opening\n\n\n\nTour de Table and nova introduction\n\n\n10:30\nMichael Carus (nova-Institute): Making a Case for CCU\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Renewable Carbon Concept\nIntroduction to CCU\nMaking a Case for Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) – It Is Much More Than Just a Carbon Removal Technology\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipant contributions & discussion\n\n\n11:15\nNicolas Hark (nova-Institute): Policy Landscape of Carbon Capture & Utilisation\n\n\n\n\n\nStatus and outlook on how CCU is recognised in EU legislation – both for materials/chemicals and in energy uses\nHow does EU legislation on CCU compare to the United States?\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipant contributions & discussion\n\n\n12:00\nLunch break\n\n\n12:30\nPia Skoczinski\, Pauline Ruiz and Achim Raschka (nova-Institute): Overview on Carbon Capture & Hydrogen Production\, Technology & Trends Overview of CO2-based Chemicals and Polymers\, Fuels\, Proteins and Minerals\n\n\n\n\n\nMethods\, technologies and key players for carbon capture\nMethods\, technologies and key players for green hydrogen production\nStatus and outlooks for:\nChemical and electrochemical CO2-conversion: technologies\, trends and key players\nBiotechnological CO2-conversion: technologies\, trends and key players\nCO2-to-Proteins: technologies\, trends and key players\nCO2-to-Minerals: technologies\, trends and key players\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipant contributions & discussion\n\n\n13:15\nLaura Martí Montaner (AIMPLAS): Making Value out of CO2 to Create a Circular Economy for the Plastic Sector\n\n\n\nParticipant contributions & discussion\n\n\n\n14:15\nVolker Sick (Global CO2 Initiative): Identifying Opportunities and Risks in Carbon Management\n\n\n\n\nParticipant contributions & discussion\n\n\n\n15:00\nCélia Sapart (CO2 Value Europe): How will CCU Contribute to Reach Climate Neutrality in the EU?\n\n\n\n\nParticipant contributions & discussion\n\n\n\n15:45\nOutlook & Wrap-up\n\n\n\nGet the newest market and policy developments for CCU.

SUMMARY:PEFerence: Use of Food/Feed Crops for Bio-based Materials and Effects on Food Security
DESCRIPTION:Using plant-based sugars as a resource leads us to a well-known debate: The competition between food and non-food when it comes to bio-based crops. This debate is flawed\, subjective and not fully based on evidence. What is detrimental to food security are\, according to the World Food Programme in 2023\, climate change\, conflict\, extreme inequalities in wealth distribution\, heavy dependence on food imports from industrial countries\, overconsumption of meat\, losses along the value chain and the impact of the COVID pandemic. Competition between biomass uses is not mentioned among the relevant causes.\nThe authors of a related paper (https://renewable-carbon.eu/publications/?search=1&woof_text=food) argue that using food and feed crops for chemicals and materials will not necessarily exacerbate food insecurity\, and in fact has the potential to cause multiple benefits for local and global food security\, climate mitigation and other factors. One of the main authors is Lara Dammer\, Head of the “Economy & Policy” Department at nova-Institute. \nThis free webinar gives you the opportunity to learn more about the new scientific insights on crops for bio-based materials directly from the source. At the end\, there will be time for your questions to be answered live by Lara Dammer. \nPEFerence receives funding from the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (JU) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 744409. The JU receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and the Bio-based Industries Consortium. \n  \nFurther information.

SUMMARY:Einladung zum DuroBast Stakeholder Workshop – Innovative Bastfaseranwendungen für die Industrie
DESCRIPTION:Im Fokus des DuroBast-Projektes (https://durobast.de) steht die Nutzung heimischer Bastfasern zur Herstellung sogenannter Composite-Strukturbauteile im Großserienmaßstab. Hier sollen Bastfasern bei der Herstellung thermoplastisch umformbarer\, naturfaserverstärkter Kunststoffe zum Einsatz kommen und eine industrielle Nutzung nachwachsender Rohstoffe für breite Anwendungsfelder ermöglichen\, die für Bastfasern aufgrund ihrer hohen Feuchtigkeitsaufnahme bisher unzugänglich waren. Die auf diesem Wege hergestellten Materialien und Gewebe erforschte das Projektteam im Rahmen dreier konkreter Anwendungen: Automobilinnenausstattung\, Busfalentenbalg und Sportgeräte wie Snow-und Skateboards. Von feinen 500 Tex Hybridgarnen aus Naturfasern bis hin zur Entwicklung erfolgreicher Faser-Hydrophobierungsverfahren\, konnte das DuroBast Team in den vergangenen Jahren zahlreiche interessante Ergebnisse realisieren. Diese präsentiert das Projektkonsortium am 8. November im Rahmen eines Stakeholder Workshops. \nKostenfreie Teilnahme. \nWeitere Informationen. \n  \n

SUMMARY:LCA methodology – Comparing Apples to Apples: Similarities and Differences in LCA methodology
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Dr. Matthias Stratmann\, Ferdinand Kähler (nova-Institute) \nComparing apples to apples from a sustainability point of view is not so easy – Just as little as an effective implementation of the topic of sustainability assessment into business processes.\nTwo great topics for a “nova session” with sustainability experts from the nova-Institute supported by an external speaker from AllocNow. \nInformation on environmental impacts of products become more and more important. Sustainability is a megatrend\, customers ask about Carbon Footprints and specific claims must be substantiated. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the most recognized methodology to assess potential environmental impacts of products. However\, the flexibility of LCA methodology and the fact that different standards exist make it very difficult to compare products on the basis of different studies. That is why the European Commission has\, for example\, initiated the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF)\, aiming to establish harmonised rules. \nMultiple frameworks and guidelines for conducting Life Cycle Assessments have been published over the years which are all applied in industry and academia. The objective of this session is to evaluate the frameworks and guidelines for the methodological choices which impact LCAs for products. The session will focus on where methodological choices of guidelines are similar to each other\, where they are different and the implication of the methodological choices for the results of the LCA. \nA second emphasis will be placed on the integration of Life Cycle Assessments into business processes. LCA does not happen in companies in isolation. We live in times of digitalisation and Industry 4.0 where companies are supported by powerful ERP systems. We will show you the differences and similarities of the various requirements and challenges when it comes to LCA and digitalisation. The company AllocNow GmbH will present an example of how the integration of corporate data and sustainability assessments can look like. \n  \nFurther information. \n  \nTopics\n\nSustainability Assessment and LCA\nVariety of standards for Life Cycle Assessment\nMethodological consistency and differences\nIntegration and automation of LCA in business processes\n\nJoin us and learn more on how to conduct LCAs and how to integrate them into your business processes. The session addresses LCA users or other staff that is working on sustainability topics and can bring already some experiences with LCA application. \n  \nProgram\n25 October 2023\, 10:00 – 16:00 h (CET: Central European Time)\, on-site \nHosts: Dr. Matthias Stratmann\, Ferdinand Kähler (nova-Institute) \n\n\n\n10:00\nIntroduction and Welcome – Tour de Table\n\n\n10:30\nRelevant norms and standards for LCA\nDifferent use cases and applications of LCA\n\n\n11:00\nMethodological Aspects Part 1 \n\nSystem boundaries – Cut off und Materiality\, temporal Scope\nFunctional Unit\nElectricity\nCarbon Offsets\nLand use and Land Use Change\n\n\n\n\n12:30\nLunch\n\n\n13:15\nMethodological Aspects Part 2 \n\nBiogenic Carbon and temporary storage\nEoL Allocation (in advanced recycling)\nMass Balance and free attribution\nVerification and reporting\n\n\n\n\n14:45\nCoffee Break\n\n\n15:00\nLCA in Industry – digitalization and automation\n\n\n15:10\nCase Study: AllocNow GmbH – Automated LCA and Sustainability Platform\n\n\n15:30\nFinal Discussion\n\n\n16:00\nEnd of Session\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Food and Feed Crops for Bio-based Materials – Facts\, Myths\, Policy and Practical Examples
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Michael Carus and Lara Dammer (nova-Institute) \nThere is a widely held view that the use of food and feed crops for anything other than food and feed uses – namely\, for bio-based chemicals and materials – is detrimental to food security. We are ready to challenge this perception and want to encourage differentiated discussions and evidence-based opinion making. \nIn this half-day webinar\, nova-Institute will present findings from latest research indicating that the impacts of using food and feed crops are much more complex than usually assumed and can even be positive\, with regards to climate\, land productivity\, environment\, farmers’ income\, market stability\, feed security and food security. Experts will also highlight the recent political framework for using biomass for biofuels and bio-based chemicals and materials. Three companies will showcase their ways of using sustainably sourced primary biomass. \n  \nTopics \n\nWhy bio-based materials have an important role to play for mitigating climate change\nGlobal biomass availability\nOverall environmental impacts and sustainability assessments\nEconomic effects\nProtein supply and emergency reserves\nPolitical framework\nPractical examples of companies utilising sustainably sourced primary biomass\n\nDo not miss this opportunity to engage directly with experts from the industry\, academia and policy. Join us for an informative and engaging nova Session on “Food and Feed Crops for Bio-based Materials – Facts\, Myths\, Policy and Practical Examples”. \n  \nProgram  \n(CET: Central European Time)\n \n\n\n\n13:00-13:15\nWelcome and introduction Michael Carus\n\n\n13:15-14:15\nThe Use of Food and Feed Crops for Bio-based Materials and the Related Effects on Food Security – new insights from recent research (Michael Carus\, Lara Dammer)\n\n\n14:15-14:50\nStatus quo of policy on biomass uses and sustainability requirements – Policy framework on bio-based plastics and biodegradable and compostable plastics\, EU Taxonomy\, RED III\, ReFuel EU Aviation\, Fuel EU Maritime (Lara Dammer)\n\n\n14:50-15:00\nCoffee break\n\n\n15:00-16:00\nPractical examples of sustainable bio-based materials from primary biomass Martin Clemesha\, Braskem | Patrick Waes\, CovationBio | Marilia Foukaraki\, Cosun Beet Company\n\n\n16:00-16:30\nDiscussion\, outlook and wrap-up\n\n\n\n
