Markgrafenstr 38, 10117 Berlin

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
  • Information on the regulatory framework
  • Exchange with researchers and experts from industry
