The transition to a climate-neutral economy is putting CO₂ at the centre of energy, industrial and geopolitical strategies
In an increasingly fragmented international context, carbon management is a key element for competitiveness, energy security and the development of new value chains.
This conference will comprehensively address the economics of CO₂, combining a strategic and market vision with an analysis of the technologies and conditions required for its deployment.
The programme is structured into three main themes
- CO ₂ infrastructure and technology, analysing the state of development and challenges associated with capture, transport and storage (CCS), as an essential basis for the activation of this economy.
- Uses of CO₂ in synthetic fuels, addressing its role as a carbon source for the production of e-fuels and its contribution to the decarbonisation of hard-to-electrify sectors, such as aviation and shipping.
CO₂ as an industrial raw material, exploring its valorisation in the chemical industry and in the production of sustainable materials, especially in sectors like construction.
Throughout the conference, special emphasis will be placed on the need to develop and integrate innovative technologies, as well as on the non-technological enabling conditions, regulatory framework, business required to enable their implementation.
Aimed at:
- Public-private agents and companies representing the entire CO₂ value chain.
Co-organisers
