SUMMARY:FREE nova Session: Bio-based Building Blocks and Polymers – Global Capacities\, Production and Trends 2024–2029
DESCRIPTION:FREE nova Session: Bio-based Building Blocks and Polymers – Global Capacities\, Production and Trends 2024–2029 \nHosts: Michael Carus\, Lars Börger and Pia Skoczinski (all nova-Institute) \n7 May from 14:00 to 15:00h CET (online) – free of charge \n  \nIn this upcoming nova Session\, a free webinar\, the latest insights from our key report “Bio-based Building Blocks and Polymers – Global Capacities\, Production and Trends 2024–2029“\, will be presented. \n2024 was a respectable year for bio-based polymers\, with an overall expected CAGR of 13 % to 2029. Overall\, bio-based biodegradable polymers have large installed capacities with an expected CAGR of 17 % to 2029\, but the current average capacity utilisation is moderate at 65 %. In contrast\, bio-based non-biodegradable polymers have a much higher utilisation rate of 90 %\, but will only grow by 10 % to 2029. \nEpoxy resin and PUR production is growing moderately at 9 and 8 %\, respectively\, while PP and cyclic APC capacities are increasing by 30 %. Despite a decline in production of biodegradables\, especially for PLA in Asia\, capacities have increased by 40 %. The same applies to PHA capacities. Commercial newcomers such as casein polymers and PEF recorded a rise in production capacity and are expected to continue to grow significantly until 2029. \nRegister now for free: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_z2ZObwv3T5aeKufxJgyJtA \n

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.
