SUMMARY:AI Circular Economy Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:Unlocking the Potential of Renewable Carbon from Biomass\, CCU and Recycling.\nArtificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just a technological trend; it is a transformative force that is accelerating the transition from fossil fuels to renewable carbon sources in the chemical and materials industry. This represents one of the greatest industrial challenges since the beginning of the industrial revolution\, requiring the most advanced digital solutions available. AI is emerging as the key enabler of this transformation. \nnova-Institute proudly presents its new highlight event\, bringing together the best innovators\, researchers\, and practitioners of this fundamental digital transformation of our society: The AI Circular Economy Conference\, 4-5 March\, 2026 in Cologne and online. Join us at this groundbreaking conference to explore how advanced AI tools and applications are shaping the future of circular and sustainable materials by unlocking the full potential of renewable carbon from biomass\, carbon capture utilisation (CCU)\, and recycling: \n\nHigh-tech innovators are delivering cutting-edge AI solutions for science and industry.\nChemical and plastics producers are using AI to innovate more quickly\, efficiently\, and sustainably.\nThe agricultural and biomass sectors are using AI to identify new sources of raw materials and close the loop on material flows.\nCutting-edge applications of AI\, including AI-assisted modelling of CCU processes and catalysts\, optimisation of CO₂ capture\, and the design of novel chemical pathways such as those involving electrochemistry.\nUse of AI for process control and optimisation in depolymerisation\, advanced waste stream sorting and feedstock analysis\, as well as quality assurance of recycled materials.\n\nFeaturing top experts in AI development\, chemical and plastics manufacturing\, biotechnology\, agriculture\, recycling and sustainability\, this interdisciplinary event will explore the latest developments in the field. Whether you are a data scientist working on new industrial applications\, a materials professional seeking for practical tools\, or part of the management or investment community looking to understand strategic and financial opportunities\, this conference will provide you with actionable insights\, valuable use cases and collaborative opportunities. The “AI Circular Economy Conference” will bring together all relevant stakeholders to discuss the need for AI solutions in a circular economy in the chemistry and materials sector and to match these needs with technical solutions from scientists and developers. \nFurther information at https://ai-circulareconomy.eu

SUMMARY:WaterProof Webinar: Industrial-Urban Symbiosis – Industrial-Urban Symbiosis: Business\, Funding\, and Practical Insights
DESCRIPTION:24 March 2026\, 13:00-14:30 CET\, online \n\nTurning Underutilised Resources into Economic & Environmental Value \nIndustrial-Urban Symbiosis (I-US) enables new business opportunities though the collaboration of diverse stakeholders across various sectors. Hereby\, this innovative approach facilitates the exchange of underutilised resources\, e.g. by-products\, residues\, energy\, water\, capacities\, and expertise\, keeping materials productive longer. By repurposing outputs as inputs\, I-US can minimise resource extraction\, cut costs\, and advance objectives of the EU Circular Economy Action Plan. \nKey criteria of this value creation are aligned stakeholder interest and the exchange of perspectives. Businesses benefit from reduced raw material costs\, supply chain resilience\, lower disposal expenses\, and new revenue opportunities. Meanwhile local authorities and regions can profit from healthier ecosystems\, economic vitality\, and new job opportunities. These complementary goals drive economic resilience and systemic change towards sustained resource loops\, higher recycling rates and enhanced regional sustainability. \nTo turn theory into practice\, the EU-funded WaterProof project hosts the webinar “Industrial-Urban Symbiosis: Business\, Funding\, and Practical Insights”. Join on 24 March 2026 from 13:00 to 14:30 CET for targeted strategies and practical insights that will equip industry professionals and practitioners with proven I-US skills. \nRegister here! \n\nThe webinar will feature presentations from leading experts:\n\nAlena Jahns/Mara Wagner (IZES): Introduction to the WaterProof project and Industrial Urban Symbiosis.\nJames Woodcock (International Synergies Limited & H4C ECoP): Business cases and funding for I-US\nHannes Utikal (Provadis School\, Process4Sustainability at Industrial Park Höchst\, Frankfurt): Practical example: Industrial Symbiosis collaboration at Höchst Industrial Park.\nEric Schuler (Avantium): Embedding CCU/the volta technology in the I-US context\n\nThe WaterProof Project and I-US Integration \nThe EU-funded research project WaterProof implements I-US by developing a cutting-edge CO2 conversion technology . Powered by renewable energy\, this unique electrochemical process converts CO₂ captured from wastewater treatment and waste incineration into formic acid. It hereby turns emissions into a sustainable carbon feedstock replacing fossil resources. The generated formic acid will be tested in applications like fish leather tanning and consumer cleaning products as well as the formulation of Formic-derived Acidic Deep Eutectic Solvents (ADES). The project’s synergies perfectly illustrate I-US potentials: Urban CO₂ emissions supply chemical industries. Peroxide by-products treat wastewater contaminated with pesticides\, antibiotics\, and pharmaceuticals. Formic-derived Acidic Deep Eutectic Solvents (ADES) extract precious metals from ash and sludge\, creating closed loop circular systems.\nFor more information on the WaterProof project\, visit https://waterproof-project.eu.\nWaterProof is Funded by the European Union.
