CO2 Recycling: From Laboratory to Pilot & Regional Scale

Recycling of carbon dioxide is a critical component to Closing the Loop. Several CO₂ recycling technologies have been successfully demonstrated in laboratory space and could be broadly used to transition into CO₂-based instead of petroleum-based manufacturing. However, the scale-up and industrial adoption of these novel approaches is challenging. To bridge this gap, this symposium seeks to connect diverse stakeholders interested in CO₂ recycling: academia, large organizations leading regional decarbonization initiatives and innovators developing digital tools to accelerate the adoption of CO₂ utilization in the industry.

The session will showcase examples of both novel, disruptive technologies, as well as more established approaches for CO₂ utilization. The half-day symposium will be opened by invited & submitted contributions covering the experiences in addressing decarbonization scale-up challenges within lab, pilot-plant and regional scale projects. To leverage form these experiences, the session will be concluded by a workshop discussion, focusing on formulating a strategy for considering the scale-up challenges in the early-stage technology development. We foresee a highly engaging atmosphere, which will support the exchange of ideas between the audience and invited speakers, as well as facilitate further networking.
