Beyond Storage: Pathways for CO2 Utilisation
This lecture sets the scene for why CO₂ utilization matters within CCUS, arguing that the conversation must extend beyond storage to technologies that convert captured CO₂ into valuable products. It then surveys key routes to CO₂ conversion—from enzyme-enabled acceleration of capture and conversion to transformation into chemicals, monomers and polymer feedstocks—highlighting how these emerging pathways connect to industrial value chains and sustainable materials.

FAQ
The Science Cluster Lectures is a series of open lectures for all researchers and others interested in bioscience, biotechnology and health. Every 4 weeks, on Thursday evenings, you are invited for lectures on themes with a general interest for the Novo Nordisk Foundation Research Centers and bioscience researchers in general. Often there will be a cross-disciplinary focus.
This will be a hybrid lecture with the possibility of attending both virtually and physically. Please note that we have a limited capacity for how many we allow to participate physically, and seats are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
Yes. We take oral questions from physical audience and written questions from virtual participants.
You are very welcome to join the ‘Novo Nordisk Foundation Science Cluster’s Linkedin and here on our website. There you will find information about upcoming lectures, and much more.
If you arrive by car, you can park for free in front or at the side of Tuborg Havnevej 19. If that is full, there is 3 hours free parking in the parking to the Waterfront shopping mall at the end of the road. Public transport by train to Hellerup station, and/or bus (1A, 21, 166), nearest by bus stop is Tuborg Boulevard.
