    Lecture: CO2 as Resource

    Topic: How to capture and convert CO2 to valuable products in a circular bioeconomy Mitigating climate change will require decarbonisation of many sectors, including the energy sector, but does also necessitate chemicals and materials currently produced from fossil resources to be produced from renewable resources. With recent advancements in CO2 capture technologies, it will be possible to reduce overall CO2 emissions by underground storage. However, combined with disruptive developments within CO2 conversion technologies will unlock a completely new form of circular bioeconomy where captured CO2 can be utilise as a novel source of carbon to produce materials, chemicals and even food. The lecture will present the research taking place at two NNF Centers within CO2 capture and conversion based on chemical and biological processes.

    What is Science Cluster Lectures?

    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.

    Will it be possible to attend physically and virtually?

    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.

    Will it be possible to ask questions?

    Yes. We take oral questions from physical audience and written questions from virtual participants.

    I would like to know about upcoming Science Cluster Lectures – where can I find information?

    You are very welcome to join the ‘Novo Nordisk Foundation Science Cluster’s Linkedin and/or Facebook group. There you will find information about upcoming lectures, and much more.
