As part of the initiative funded by the Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR), 13 research projects are working to explore new ways of utilising CO₂ as a raw material. The DISCO₂ research initiative – Disruptive Approaches to the Industrial Use of CO₂ – invites interested parties from the worlds of science, business, politics and society to find out more about the funded projects, initiatives and researchers involved in DISCO₂.
What to expect
Look forward to informative presentations, engaging discussions and a poster session, in which innovative approaches to the industrial use of CO₂ and the green chemical plant of the future will be presented.
- Insights into the work of 13 research projects spanning the entire CCU value chain
- An overview of the level of innovation and potential of the projects focusing on the material
utilisation of CO₂ - Perspectives on environmental and climate impacts as well as economic potential
