Conference on CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals

Captured CO₂ from the surrounding air and from offgas point sources that can be used for cleaning products, plastic packaging or be converted by microbes into a grid-wide energy storage solution are just three of hundreds of possible options for carbon capture and utilisation (CCU). Based on the Power-to-X concept, e.g., large quantities of kerosene, fuels and platform chemicals can be produced from CO₂. Further, specialties such as proteins and cosmetic ingredients made from CO₂ are on their way. The portfolio of potential products from CO₂ and renewable energies instead of fossil resources is nearly infinite.

The technologies and ideas are ready to end the fossil carbon era and move towards a carbon-neutral future. Only a few policy decisions and financial support would be needed to build the CCU industry of tomorrow.

We want to honour the young and innovation-driven CCU industry for their inventions and developments with the innovation award “Best CO₂ Utilisation 2022”

With the innovation award “Best CO₂ Utilisation 2022” together with YNCORIS and CO₂ Value Europe, the nova-Institute offers innovators in the CCU field the unique opportunity to present and market their carbon capture or carbon utilisation (Power-to-X) technology, CO₂-based fuel or chemical at one of the leading conferences on CO₂ as a raw material. The only requirement for participation in the competition is that your product is already on the market or about to be launched in near future. Producers and inventors are invited to hand over their free of charge application by mid of January 2022. Further information can be found here: www.co2-chemistry.eu/award-application. An independent jury of experts will pre-select the “Top 6” candidates from all applications. The nominees will receive a free 2-day ticket for the conference. In a ten-minute presentation the candidates present their innovations to the audience. After the presentations, the conference audience (online and on-site) will select the three winners. They will be honoured with the innovation award “Best CO₂ Utilisation 2022” at the festive gala dinner ceremony on the first day of the conference. As a follow-up to the conference, nova-Institute and CO₂ Value Europe will issue an international press release and use their wide-ranging communication channels to announce the winners. Additionally, the first place will receive communication support from CO₂ Value Europe to promote their technology or product, according to their business development needs. Seize the opportunity and apply now: www.co2-chemistry.eu/award-application. nova-Institute would like to thank YNCORIS for sponsoring the innovation award “Best CO₂ utilisation 2022” and CO₂ Value Europe for the co-organisation.
